hey russ you might experience some heavy thundary showers but mostly storms, it looks good for everyone in the south, east and the storms are heading north towards me B) thay are just south,east,west of london also russ you are now under a weather warning from the metoffice looks good

Oh good, I may get some interesting clouds to photograph then.

The Guernsey radar has a storm to its SW currently 2 strikes per minute.

Whilst the estofex certainly shows signs of the right cloud build up

Of course I am hoping that these are the driest storms ever for obvious reasons B)

Regards,

Russ.

met office have issued more weather warning South West England

[saint]

just noticed more weather warnings

[Rustynailer]

The cloud cover over me at present appears to be developing on radar and heading NE ish.

The lightning hits from the Channel islands area are on the increase, although looking at the sat animation it looks like those will miss the UK IMO.

Regards,

Russ

"Cheltenham witnessed its worst deluge for more than 30 years.More than 6cm of rain fell on the town between 9am and 3pm, and the Environment Agency reckoned the total rainfall over the 24-hour period could be more than 18cm."

EIGHTEEN!!!! 180mm B)

exaggeration? possibly but based on the flooding we had it's not impossible
