Looks very interesting on the south coast near Bournemouth atm, anyone there?

[Cakie]

Very rapid development near Portland now.

I can hear and see it to my west. Couple of flashes and some lovely long rumbles of thunder

[chapmanslade]

Will that reach the u.k? if so, what areas would you say are likely to be affected by it?

Yes it will.

The 'plume' is now in place in the south with an elevated moist layer that is being destabilised by troughs. The plume will be in place for at least another 36 hours here so lots more chances of seeing some activity. Cells to the south of the main band popping up vigorously now and lightning visible to my south

[Costa Del Fal]

Pitch Black to My S/SW now with a slight green hue on the edge it seems.

[picog]

Heavy rain just started, but no light show (yet?)!

[Jane Louise]

Come back storm ,come back Lol.:lol: It gave me a couple rumbles of thunder and 3 flashes of lightning and drifted off to my North . Here's to tomorrow.

[Costa Del Fal]

BIG LIGHTNING and Deep Thunder now!

[Lynxus]

Oh My Gohhh.

The stuff down south is really picking up..

Ive never seem cells grow so quickly and with so many..

1 minute theres nothing... 15 minutes later theres 10+ intense downpours!

[phil b]

yep just started to here distant thunder now

[Casper]

Most has dodged to the west around Swindon...... grrrr. Lots more still to come up from the south coast.

[Andy Pepler]

if it gets any more stickyer i will have to peel my teeshirt off.

still quiet just light rain at the moment..

looks like i may be in the fireing line for the next lot aswell.

will keep cam running all night..plus its also recording so if i miss anyting plz post the time in gmt

[SalopWatcher]

not sure what to make of it, looking at my new fangled NW 5 min radar looks like main part of this band slipping to the east (hence thunder and the link in Stourbridge) the less intensive bit of the band is almost on us there, but nothing more than active skys at the moment... with the radar showing that there are some showers building... if it turns electrical or not who knows... be good just to see some rain at the moment...

[Tim B]

Gonna be keeping my eyes open tonight, might even pull an all nighter since I'm up early tomorrow anyway. I get the feeling a storm could break out here at any moment, it is so warm and humid it's like breathing soup.

[Costa Del Fal]

The Thunder is very deep and sounds like a lorry crashing and its not that close yet!

[Phelpsy]

night time sky always the best for storms, looking forward to some good displays. You now there the best! The lightning was glowing here earlier, purple and orange. Will loook spectacular. good luck all, hope you all get a show

[95 Degrees]

Very Humid late evening at 19.3C, and good elavation on these storms, so if any decide to come this way they should be decent

[LadyEv06]

What are the odds of North Notts seeing some activity this evening?
