our storm is leaving us, but looking at sky thats not rthe last, i hope you get one soon

But the thi9ng is Weathercoxy this evening's storms are almost an unexpected prelude to the main event. Just a few days ago the first thundery risk wasn't until tomorrow evening! Can you not enjoy an event without getting hit spot on? By enjoying cloudscapes & radar watching top see how other areas have been affected.

An example - not a drop of rain here this evening, but it's been great to see how storms have developed elsewhere, a real learning opportunity to see about storm behaviour. Right now there's a shower 5ish miles East of here which has been fluctuating in intensity for nearly an hour as it's edged this way - it may explode, it may not, but there will be reasons to look for either way.

Not having a pop at you, I hope a major storm outbreak hits the whole West Country!

I can see lightning from the cell to the South of me, and hear thunder.

Somebody over Brean, Burhnam way must be getting a good show.

Starting to rain here and quite heavy too.

[tornadomanuk]

Hi Andy, its been a while!! Its great to sit out and watch the line of cells barely skim past me to my North. Very dark under those bases so more torrential rain towards Bridgwater again.

[dave48]

Everything has run about 5 miles to my south so far, but a Cb getting closer now, things look to be calming at the minute around here.

Actually I think I might just have a heard a very distant rumble.

[Kookylou]

more thunder here in cardiff!

[MP-R]

Well i feel a little more happy now as iv just seen my first distant lightening strike to my SE followed by a rumble of thunder. :lol:

Same here, possibly the same one. The thunder is gradully getting louder so just live in hope mate. We've still got excellent chances and so long as I can hear thunder I'm happy. As the evening goes on it will become easier to see lightning.

[twister2005]

Lots of towers and big clouds building round here, an exciting evening ahead :lol:

[Neilsouth]

Cell's in the channel ! :lol:

[Marcus_surfer]

no thunder here just rain, what the bloody-hell is going on?

[dave48]

Very dark to my south and have heard about 5-10 very very faint rumbles. Could just hear them in the back garden.

[remymartin]

[SteveB]

Just popped my head out of our skylight, and could see the cell to the South of me. Saw some good lightning from it CG'S & CC'S Loud distant thunder as well
