Won’t let me oh well but this is crazy I can guarantee these are supercells
I posted video to my Facebook page then shared as it said my video was too big for here. Only way I could think to do it

Storm hit Bathgate big time now, honestly don’t know when I’ve seen anything as bad/good as this!

This has to be the most amazing light show I’ve watched in around 40 years, funnily enough, that one was in Edinburgh/Fife in August 1975 or 1976 I think.

At my daughter’s, just outside Bathgate and loving watching the sky light up all around, east and west, heard a couple of rumbles but it’s mainly just the distant lightning. Never experienced so much electrical activity as I’m seeing tonight, daughter thinks I’m nuts. Managed to take some video on my phone but need to see what’s recorded before I share or not. Still really warm outside too, probably the warmest I’ve felt at this time of night so far this summer.

That was some amount of rain last night! I’d forgotten how noisy rain could be on Velux windows in the dead of night

Weather Facts: CAPE - Convective Available Potential Energy | weatheronline.co.uk
WWW.WEATHERONLINE.CO.UKConvective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) is measure of the amount of energy available for convection. CAPE is directly related to the maximum potentialThese are very high amounts through this week for UK standards, a regular thundery shower u would probably have a couple of hundred and for our typical thunderstorms maybe somewhere around 500-1000 but some areas even into Scotland could see 2000+ so lots of energy for big storms but of course that isn’t the only ingredient required u also need a trigger like troughs or fronts which will be around this week it’s pinpointing areas which is needle in haystack territory
Thank you for explaining, the terminology is very new to me but I’m a keen learner!

The best thing to do really will be keeping an eye on the radar and
Weather Europe, Satellite Weather Europe, Weather Forecast, Rainfall, Clouds, Sun in Europe - SAT24.com
EN.SAT24.COMWeather Europe, Satellite Weather Europe, Weather Forecast, Rainfall, Clouds, Sun in Europe - SAT24.comReally anywhere throughout Scotland could catch some storms at some point through this week with troughs and fronts moving around in the unstable atmosphere and some massive amounts of CAPE, I’m thinking anywhere that does get storms could be some big lightning producers maybe tonight / overnight something for u finally @Mr Frost
Thank you.
Sky darkening again ahead of next downpour which has just begun. Looking at the radar, it’s going to be a fairly sharp shower so fingers crossed for pyrotechnics

Some very talented photographers in this group!
I’m off to Bathgate to spend a few days with my daughter so what will be my chances of catching a thunderstorm?

Lovely start to the day and my holiday, sat in the garden having a late breakfast with fairly clear skies and the thermometer reading 23c.
Once the grass has dried a bit more, I'll get the mower out and then do some garden work for the rest of the day...make hay while the sun shines!

If that wind would just die down it would be a decent day here even though the cloud hasn't melted away as I thought it would. Temperature sitting between 22/23c and gusts between 2 and 9km/hr. At least it's dry I suppose. Spoke to a client earlier who is down near Laurencekirk and he had wall to wall sunshine, and it does look to be brighter to the south.
Oh well, it'll soon be gin o'clock and I'll be on holiday for the next two weeks so fingers crossed for decent weather in that time.

Beautiful start to the day with a bit of patchy cloud and temperature of 23c being recorded on my pws. Shame I’ll be at my desk for most of the day, might need to take the laptop outside for part of it.

Better day ,breezy dry but overcast and currently 21c. Picked the last of the cherries this morning with Mrs Northernlights. I think they will be the best memory of the summer!!!!
We have filled the freezer as well for Christmas.
They look delicious! I've not been brave enough to plant fruit trees but I may attempt to plant one over winter for next year.
It was gorgeous this morning when I got up but lots of cloud cover now. Still reasonably warm however at 21c

Thoroughly miserable day here, stayed around 13c for pretty much the entire day. Ended up putting the heating on which is a downside to working from home but the dogs appreciated it when they came back from their walk wetter than if they'd been in the bath. Temperature now sitting at 17.3c which will no doubt make for an uncomfortable sleep tonight.

@Northernlights I don't think any of my clients will have been out making hay today on Deeside, though yesterday's heat will have helped the spring barley get closer to being ready for spraying off. It's been raining on and off all day and I don't think the forecast is much better for tomorrow.
I think seeing the crops growing is one of the few things I've really missed with not doing a daily commute since the end of March. However I have loved hearing the mowers/choppers going as farmers near by have been out taking a second cut of silage over the last couple of weeks.

Playlist for rain & storms. Apologies if you don't use Spotify!
spotify:playlist:3K4qaAk4bxO78FNeEshqZa
Marie likes the challenge of being thrown a subject and forming a playlist. The most random one was 'Animal Husbandry'. It was delivered.
Thanks for sharing that playlist, some decent tracks on there. Fell asleep listening to it last night and will continue listening today.
Woke this morning to blue skies when I let the dogs out at 8am though it had obviously stopped raining not long before. Fairly decent temperature on my window thermometer showing 19c but it's clouded over again and getting duller by the minute and according to the radar, a shower of rain is on the way. Glad I got the grass cut last night!

Is anyone else disappointed in today's weather?
Wind has picked up here, mainly cloudy with slight hints of blue sky, currently 20c and ok for sitting outside to eat my dinner but definitely not the day I thought it was going to be. Only plus has been being able to sit at my desk (dining room table) with the patio doors open behind me. It was reasonable when I nipped out to the shops at lunchtime but certainly didn't develop into the kind of day I thought it would.

Looking good for tail end of next week, possibly a dry settled spell from Friday 7th August......fingers crossed!
Please let that be the case, I'm on holiday for a fortnight from the 7th!
Tonight's dilemma...as a woman of a certain age, do I turn the heating off and put the fan on in my bedroom in anticipation of the temperature rising overnight? It certainly can't be any colder tonight than it was last night. I will be very glad to say goodbye to July 2020.

The sun is breaking through and the washing is out on the line, about the best I can say about today! 16c isn't what you'd expect on Deeside in late July

What a dismal day it’s been. It’s rained from since before I got up this morning and still raining now. Both dogs have point blank refused to go out today except for very necessary visits to the garden for the briefest time possible - mini schnauzers are most definitely fair weather dogs.

It’s been a lovely day in Banchory today, especially once the wind died down. High of 21c and lovely view of the moon rising late afternoon. After yesterday’s torrential downpours, I was surprised that the paths through the woods where I walk my dogs were surprisingly dry.

Thank you for the welcome everyone
Torrential rain clearing to something slightly lighter now, I'd imagine the roads are flooded if the car park outside my house is anything to go by! Rumble of thunder heard in the distance, and it's still feeling very sticky however it hasn't stopped some teenagers having a party in the next street

My first post here, please be gentle!
Heavy rain shower over Banchory, did hear a couple of rumbles of thunder around 20 minutes ago.

It’s all kicked off again over Bathgate, not that it ever stopped as such tonight but I can’t believe the amount of rain that’s falling along with the constant lightning. Every time I close my eyes, there’s yet another flash.
