things developing really quickly around me now. clouds actually have develped really dark bases suddenly and the breeze has picked up. It looks really jagged out.. clouds heading NNE ish. hmmmm.. maybe?

[andymusic]

Heavy rain and gusty winds here now, but no thunder or lightning :S

the thundery element looks further back in that shower - patience

[Summer of 76]

Oh, I wish our works firewall would allow me to see netweather radar at the moment, heavy rain now and one flash of lightning and clap of thunder

[Crimson_Sprite]

small cells forming to my south!!!! and RAPIDLY might I add!! There's hope for the old girl yet!!

[snow raven]

Heavy rain just cleared here in SE1 (didnt hear thunder, but know a rumble was reported) - so much so that the ceiling at work started to leak with rain water

Nice a sunny now, so hopefully that might fire up a storm or two

[dogs32]

thats a huge storm now around Notingham

[drgl]

Couple of rumbles here in Telford, going very black, looks lie Shrewsbury may have something??

Just had some very heavy rain and large droplets, but the worst of its going to my east now :'( and more broken cloud to my south, so i think that was it for me

If that Leicester cell can hold itself together then I am on a good E-W orientated road to intercept it, it seems to be developing on a line to that goes from Leicester towards London. Any thoughts on its likelihood of surviving this far north.

The Humber cell seems to have disintegrated. Maybe need the higher CAPE to reach the area later.

well my storm unit pick up lightning 87km from me i dont know were from no telling much at the mo tell it get more info:drinks:

[dogs32]

East of IOW could also see a good show later from Cherbourg

[loopydreamer]

from a IMBY perspective for Kent, going by the track of the channel cells and 500hpa wind vectors it kinda looks like la harve --> deppe is where we need to see development to move into Kent but given the unexpected nature of today, i guess anything is about possible lol

yep! im really hoping that i hear a rumble or two! arghhh! im just not sure it will quite reach here! sun has been out more this last hour which is good i spose!

Hello All

Skies gone very dark here in Hitchin, and had one loud rumble of thunder so far, just light rain that starts and stops but not coming to anything yet....

Scrap that, very heavy rain and wind picked right up and some more thunder!

i can the sky darkening to my south over the IOW with whispy top!!

shall let you know if anything comes of it.

[Kain]

Yay first rumbles here, looks abit out west though, still an edge of a storm is better than no storm at all lol

[<<Ryan>>]

looks like my area in the southeast will be getting a pounding soon........fingers crossed:pardon:

[A.J]

Ok, some satellite grabs, courtesy of SAT24 to show the state of play...

1) Infra-red of the UK and the near continent, showing storms over the east midlands, a nice cluster forming over South Wales/the West Country, and those monster storms/supercells over NE France and the low countries

2) Closer up visible satellite image showing the current storm set-ups for the UK

and 3) Close up visible satellite imagery of the severe thunderstorms/supercells currently pushing into Holland, the loop (not in this image) interestingly shows the MCS back-building westwards towards the SE coast of England

Thunder now reported in Mid Devon (Tiverton area). Also exceptional rain been falling in the area esp. towards Exmoor. Everything is developing to my West and moving North. Will phone the folks in Watchet to see what the situation is up there.

[drgl]

East of IOW could also see a good show later from Cherbourg

[ZONE 51]

is surrey likely to see any night storms im in weybridge i would be able to see distance storms if they went through crawley or gatwick areas had a short sharp downpour earlier ,i really want a light show..

[dogs32]

im thinking....could that make it to north east kent?

:unsure:

on the future radar sort of no......but I reckon if they dont die they could quite easily push more East...

as the Brest storms have...against what the future radar suggested
