@weatherobsuk  Bit the bullet,  I'm out.  Just scrambling up the side of Teggs Nose, should get views out over the Wrekin, Shropshire from there.

Sounds like a war going on absolutely awesome !!

Opened my window just in case i can hear some distant thunder, i give it 5 seconds before a wasp gets in 

[CoventryWeather]

North of Salisbury there's an echo - could be a blip mind you. 

[Lynxus]

Got some large towers east of Gloucester now.

One appears to be flattening at the top. Pretty high.

 

Maybe . Just maybe we will get some ignition east and possibly SE of these storms soon.

 CoventryWeather Good spot! Does seem to be a developing updraft, will keep an eye on it.

Just setting my camera up, and missed a beautiful CG strike over towards the Clwydian Range. 
 

Damn, damn, damn and blast!

Anyone close to or in Birmingham, watch the cell to the North-West of Gloucester very closely. Seems to be taking on more of a north-east motion.

 Rush2019 ah nice, it's a cracking view from up there. After relocating I miss out on the Cheshire Plain views but can at least see more to the south. 

Weather unrelated but the Turkish Airlines just gone into MAN put on a good wheels-down overflight after going around.

Hail in Newport 

 

 

 

[Cain]

Got some videos to upload by far the most non stop thunder I’ve heard 

[LetItSnow!]

Tiniest bit of fluff moving NE-wards between Swindon and Amesbury. Wonder if thats an attempt at a cell or just a bit of nothing.

[CoventryWeather]

Starting to see a few updrafts on satellite around the Cotswold region - might be an area of interest for central midlands.

[WeatherArc]

Looking really stormy to my west now

Looks like new attempts at updrafts North of Tewkesbury aswell

I’m hoping that tiny blip south of Swindon will produce into something as it heads NNE. 

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

recorded the Paris thunderstorm and sped it up, lovely jubbly with a bolt at the end, there were mostly tons of flashes on the live camera so not alot of bolts

>>1.00<<

Unrelated to here but caught a rope tornado in Iceland thanks to all the steam rising off the hot lava fields from the previous eruption on the peninsular

As for here,i cannot chase as i have a problem with the car ATM but watching those cells develop SE of Worcester give's me a bit of hope.

Edit: added a link to the cam i saw the rope tornado on ^^

Another area with potential for development is to the east of the cell north of Bristol, would keep an eye on radar
