just loads to watch today..my skies come first but its exciting watching and reading what other are getting, so much activity going on today

[Lynxus]

Im slightly worried that im on the edge of all the expected activity..

Fingers crossed. I think today is probably the most chance of a storm ive had in a while..

best thing watch the skies and radar, not %! what develops 50miles away could be heading your way while the storm risk goes up n down.. Edited July 8, 2011 by ElectricSnowStorm

Hello LL. Meto forecast for us doesn't seem to tie in with the advisory. Main risk (may) be from heavy rain, not ruling out a rogue storm or two, but for us today i think, the main feature is supposed to be the heavy rain. Can't grumble though, there has been plenty of thunder here already.

[Jane Louise]

Really heavy downpour here lol still no thunder as yet,plenty more time to go.

[Stuart]

Rain showers most of the morning with the odd brighter break. Quite a heavy shower just passing through here. Today will be a good day (LMAO!)

[MikeUpjohn]

Gone very black to my South atm. Turbulent fast moving clouds. Starting to rain. Next few mins could be interesting!

- Edit, heavy rain now.

Cheers,

Mike.
