Everything charged and ready to go here! Can't wait!

[VillagePlank]

What do you guys reckon Estofex will go with for tomorrow - I am going to go with a Level 2 for much of England

Possibly, but it's not without the realms of a Level-3 given the potential for drift from North (East?) France to clip the SE corner. At least a Level 1 though - for E Anglia, Essex, E Sussex, and Kent.

[Paul Sherman]

Same here

Canon Fully Charged, Sony HD Camera ready for the possible MCS! Laptop, Inverters all ready to go.

Will be using Netweathers V5 Radar tomorrow which overlays the Storm onto it with Maps in the background, our position will be given to me from the GPS (Arron) in the 2nd Vehicle as back up with 2 way Radio Contact between the Cars. Streaming will be done via a 2nd Dongle in Car 2 which will be beamed live to Netweather in Full HD

Just had a brief shower. Temp currently 25c, dewpoint 19.5c, humidity 72%. Is Lancs in the level 1 risk zone for today and tomorrow?

[sparky1972]

afternoon everyone, hope we are all enjoying the sunshine and warmth, after a cloudy start here this morning its now clear blue sky and very warm, fingers crossed for some nice storms tommorow, after 3pm would be good as daughter has sports day at school, about right really, potentialy the hottest day of the summer so far.

[Neilsouth]

For once i might be watching a storm near me rather than watching it via netweather stream!, camera and camcorders on the charge

[Candice]

Showers now sprouting up around Tyne and Wear. Surprisingly it's all coming from sheets of cumulus and stratocumulus, of the sort that we often get up here from warm moist south-westerly flows at all times of the year- some cumulus cells are taking off into cumulus congestus particularly as they head into the North Sea.

Reached a surprisingly high 25.9C here earlier.

Bet you wish you were back at UEA for tomorrow, still looking surprisingly good

Definately in the level 1 area toady

[Staffordshire]

Some wonderful warm sunshine today, now clouding over...

[cloudsabove]

Preparing cameras and kit - ready to go out and about over next couple of days, very exciting forecasts! Saw some altocumulus castellanus earlier (well I think it was, still get some cloud types mixed up) and other high level cloud but now it is completely blue sky here good luck to all those who chase and let us hope everyone has some interesting times and things to report soon!

[Neilsouth]

Convection has initiated just NE of Blackpool. Let's now monitor this development!

Neighbours reading at 29.1C in the shade.

Have given up sunbathing in my garden, it's a reall suntrap and was getting too hot even for me.

[weatherobsuk]

mid-level CUs blocking any view of this cell some 30miles to the Northwest from here, a shame as i'd have a prime-spot here in the hills watching its southern flanks initiating. Looks nice on the NW radar though.

Sorry bout falling through your hedge stepladder gave way.

[pinball wizard]

Currently 28c in Bury St Eds with a dp of 18c, I think tomorrow we could hit 30c with 20c dp, all the ingredients coming together nicely, just need to sit back and wait and wait and wait lol

[Sunny Android]

Just got in from Otterspool, just on the Mersey estuary where I was watching the clouds develop. Started to rain from one, and they seem to be developing nicely over lancashire as they track in. Lancashire lass may see some serious weather shortly !

[P-M]

Can see some cracking cloud bursts out in the north sea here from Washington. Just wished they had intensified over land first lol
