Any idea what's causing the constant cloud over kent?, it doesn't seem to be coming in off the north sea it's just home grown?

If anything the clouds are burning away over the channel and sea

Met Office really doesnt seem to interested anymore about today or certainly here but lets prove them wrong....:lol:. Everything else as before!

Yep, sun is starting to shine through a bit now, just need a bit of heat putting into the recipe!

[lottiekent]

It isn't actually that cloudy here right on the SE tip of Kent - it's been sunny since sunrise but it is hazy

[Jane Louise]

The sun is gradually making an appearance here, this bodes well for later on Yay lol . A very interesting day in store. My eyes are going to be to the sky most of the time due to unlimited use of my computer today. Good luck y'all Lol

[Kookylou]

sun trying really hard to come out here!

[Mike Storm]

here comes the sun here in SE London

[Stormyking]

Its nice out there, been sunny most of the morning, gfs 06z looks pretty good for tonight, but met office and NAE don't look as great :/ ah well going to try and be positive.

[Costa Del Fal]

Sun poking through at times here now.

Brilliant lighning display

[Neilsouth]

Showers are now building across europe in the sunshine heading in this direction for much later

[conor123]

Still overcast here, im keeping my fingers crossed still as we missed out on last weeks storms by 10 miles and havent had a good storm since July 2008.

[Stuart]

Good Luck All

Not expecting much here today,but after a forecast temperature of 15c ,its already 19c here, so good news for people further West!

[Wivenswold]

As with Sprites, the disappointing lack of storms heading our way is tempered by the fact that it's unexpectedly warm and sunny here. 17.5oC at present and feeling warmer than that.

[Arnie Pie]

I like to think of it as a thunder storm haze

A rather odd passage of your post!........Convection will initiate in the next few hours, so you're jumping the gun a bit.....NW radar overlay shows a nice build up of convective energy over the SE, several hundred Joules of energy, plus an encouraging amount of bouyancy in the lower atmosphere, add that to an approaching trough, the destabilizing factors are coming nicely into play...I think signs are promising for an active afternoon in many southern/central parts

13.7 here in swindon atm.dont think it's gonna happen today tbh. Good luck to every one who's got sunshine though!

Very overcast here.

[95 Degrees]

not sure it will thunder today but if it does it will either be a French/Benelux import or a homegrown shower, at least the temperatures are fairly high though, at 19.4C here, although humidity is quite low at 38% but there's plenty of time for a storm to come if it does!

[Neilsouth]

Very hazy here, doesn't feel thundery at all hence hopeing for imports

[DeepSnow]

Not sure if we will get much round these parts, its cloudy but 17.5C and humidity 52%, so will have to see what happenes over the next few hours

MM weather outlook seem to think we have a chance

[Steve_De4]

Why 'damn Warminster'? Nowt here last Saturday except a few sharp evening showers. I heard thunder in the afternoon

when in Westbury with a storm that was between there and Bath.

This little beauty, probably:
