Sky is very chaotic here, quite a few lightning flashes from this elevated storm. No rain and very little thunder
-
About 4 flashes from an elevated storm just to my north west, few rumbles of thunder also! Have to admit the METO and ESTOFEX nailed it
-
Hmm that area of rain in the Irish Sea is really starting to intensify. Not electrified yet, apart from a few trailing showers off the Lancashire coast.
Yeah, some nice returns appearing on the radar now, also a rash of showers breaking out over the southern uplands
Edit: Cells now firing near Edinburgh on the V6 1910 radar, finally some initiation happening

More moans. Incredible really. They just keep on coming!
I'm not moaning, it's actually a statement of fact based upon what i've seen over the years!

It always seems to be the case here that we get storms only when they are unforecasted
. The met office always seem to jynx it! -

Has cloud cover ruined the 'main show' over NW England and Southern Scotland? Still no signs of anything firing yet and light rain is moving into the area ;( No updates recently from any of the more knowledgeable either... Praying it doesn't bust.
Still plenty of time but I do agree the cloud cover is slightly concerning. Newcastle is getting hammered right now, wow
-
Looking at the 5 minute radar, looks to all be sliding NE and towards Dunbar as the most western extent that could be effected.
Yeah, I should hopefully get a side on view here which will do me just fine!
-
Rapidly developing cells in the Scottish Borders now heading North. Two cells appearing on the V4 radar, one approaching Edinburgh from the south, the other East Lothian/eastern borders

Cell has fired over the borders heading N, Catch i'd keep your eyes peeled! Actually as I type two cells! Lightning detected! Streams of warm air arriving here now, temp is rocketing
Edit 1148: Judging by the 1140 radar, they are going to give Dunbar a direct hit, slight NNE tilt. I should get a view from the W, side on!

Have you got cloud up there? I can't be that far from you in a straight line (I'm between Duns and Greenlaw, near Charterhall) and it's mostly sunny and feeling spanking hot when we were out walking the dog.
Edit: 22 miles
2nd Edit: Kinloss reporting 26ºC, before 10am. Waw!
Aye got about 4/8 of mid layer stuff, mostly Ac. The back up thermometer is reading 21.9C so seems a bit accurate than the other one, taking into account what other nearby stations are saying. Does look nice down your way
-
19.4C and rising on the thermometer at the moment. Edinburgh Airport is at 15C as of 0820 but there seems to be a slight onshore breeze their at the moment, Charterhall at 18C. Forecasted to reach 25C this afternoon here but I wouldnt be surprised to see slightly higher if the onshore breeze doesn't affect us and the cloud thins and breaks

Level 2 issued by Estofex over Northern England and Southern Scotland for tomorrow :O Never seen a Level 2 threat over Scotland before - this is uncharted territory here.
Their forecast highlights the potential for severe thunderstorms (even bow echoes & supercells) but also the high degree of uncertainty in the situation. So exciting to see a Level 2 IMBY though - can hardly believe it tbh.
The wording of the forecast is very strong at some points, for example:
"Potentially very severe situation with number of question marks will develop over parts of UK. "
Yeah i've never seen Scotland with a level two in all the years i've been observing the weather, I just about choked on my Coffee
. Will be a very interesting late afternoon/evening for us lot tomorrow -

Fascinating experience this morning, slightly surreal aswell. Watched it through a DIY pinhole projector and managed to steal a glimpse when some Sc rolled through. Light certainly faded a great deal and the sky went from clear blue to a slightly tinted grey/brown colour. Looking forward to the lunar eclipse in Sept and the next solar!
-
Don't you wish it was two months ago, it would be going dark now!
Cloud has been melting away in some areas but Sod's law says that as soon as darkness starts setting in, the readings will drop off!
yeah, if only this had happened during the winter
and aye typical sods law it'll go back to G3-G4 as soon as darkness strikes the UK -
G4 still, just about touching a G5. Bz -17.8 south, and its misty here
Edit:
"The observed Kp index is 8+ but the predicted K-indice of 9- indicates that stronger geomagnetic conditions might occur at this moment." -
Around 1-1.5cm of snow here, totally unexpected

I'm watching that too. Hoping it hits here.
Should do, going by the V6 radar in around the next 30 minutes
unless it breaks up -

Got my eye on the large blob passing Stirling just now, Edinburgh and E Lothian look in the firing line!
Edit: I should say pretty much all of SE Scotland

Temperature dropping away nicely, currently 3.2C after being at 8C during the night. Here's hoping for at least a slight covering later, I'll take that!

That seems to be it for the little elevated cell here, nice to see some night lightning, quite a rarity!
Attention now turns to the clump coming over the border!
