Just opened the window and the air has that warm muggy smell again. Feels like the juice is topping up again

Yeah. Surprised temps are rising again. Almost 24C (was 22C an hour ago) on my thermometer outside with 75% humidity, yuck!

Is it me or is there some development in the SE again? Is this a cumulus field or some crud?

Where’s it headed?

Looks a bit tornadic that

Is it a direct East-West flow now? Or WNW? Because if that develops it’ll come by me

Pictures of the cloud structure of the Kent storms

Now THAT was something else!! I’ll narrate my day: drove down to Rye, East Sussex for a few hours and started to see some serious convection bubbling up ahead of the decaying storm in the channel. After having lunch in a cafe , starting driving back home being chased by a very ominous dark cloud coming off the channel. To my amazement, to my north I saw two or three giant towers. Still developing as I got closer, the size of those things were beyond belief!! Headed right into the storm system on the way back home and my god were the driving conditions horrendous, very frequent flickering of lightning, torrential rain, roads turning to rivers. What an experience! If I’d stayed at home I wouldn’t have seen it

I’m actually speechless at the structure of these things....

Any large hail to be wary of? Will be driving right through one of the cells possibly

My god!!! Heading back to London now from the south coast and it looks like I’m in the Midwest! Cloud structures are insane!

Heading towards the south coast now and seeing some serious convection going on inland ahead of the channel storms. Really looks like it’s gonna fire up big time

Going down to the East Sussex coast today for a few hours. Wonder what I’ll see when I get back home later

Is anyone inside those cells N/NE of London?

Looking good with @UKWX_ thunderstorm outlook

Lots of flashes at sea on the Hastings webcam. https://www.geocam.ru/en/online/hastings-old-town/

No it’s looking like a successful one

Woke up to see a lot of lightning on the radar NE/E of London ?? Also there is a very active cell shooting out of France heading NW quickly and growing rapidly

Level 2!

Nice evening storm today anyone?

It’s gone. It’s turned into a wet mess. Don’t think the new one in France is coming over either and if it did it would die in the channel again. Would rather now all this cloud goes right away so all the convection can be unhindered tomorrow.

I’d actually prefer if that MCS buggers off now so we can be cloud free to start the day tomorrow, that’s if it doesn’t re-ignite inland

Is the system now stuck in the channel? Looks like it’s stopped moving completely

Area intensifying again

The eastern part of the MCS could easily swing round into the SE I think
