I can see the cell towards Bristol quite nicely from where I am in Cardiff, just hoping for something to develop further south than that now.

Same here but need it to be even further south

MetO app shows new cells forming to the east of the Gloucester storm and moving east / south east towards S Wales then eventually to the east of Swansea area before moving offshore around 9-10pm.  It's not been very accurate today but it has consistently shown something similar.

Ok thanks so it’s not time to give up yet then

What if (and this is a massive what if) all the storms in Wales combine with the front of storms coming from London and combined with each other. It just kind of looks like this is beginning to happen on radar

It seems to me like they have seen what developed over West London earlier, believe it's going to do what is in the image and hastily thrown out a general warning with a wide margin of error.

If that’s the case then why did they put it down here in Swansea

Meto have included us though in their amber warning - not sure what for - but let's wait and see where this goes

Exactly there is nothing promising in SWales 

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

How is Swansea in this amber warning, there is no sign of anything happening here 

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

Not looking good for Swansea. Can anyone give their professional predictions?

 

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

There are storms popping off in every direction now

So, looks like today is going to be the best chance for us southerners.

I have my camera gear ready and charged, I am able to finish work early, so far so good!

The plan was to travel north and base myself near  Bristol, one problem though, my wife needs me back in Christchurch for 17:45 

And I'm not sure of the timings of when storm are going to break out, the plan was to be in position for the storms in the highest risk area, then head south with the hope of capturing the southern coastal risk later in the evening.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

I don't really think anyone knows where and when these storms are going to break out
