UKWW reporting intense storms in the teeside areas and a rash of storm sferics moving from the Humber up to the NE. This is looking like a veryinteresting day. Sky here turning a shade of black now just need them to keep intensifying! :drinks:

Wow, looks like your getting a good show up north. Thought it was our turn in the south west, but it looks like all the action is to the north.

Widespread flooding in my area now, the road is flooded, the patio is under water and it's still tipping down.

I don't think the system will be making into Edinburgh by the time the Rugby ends, the northern quadrant is just fringing on the Citys edge but its something to keep a eye on flicking through the sports channels incase something crops up within the next 80 mins.

Sounds bad Mark, I love a good thunder storm as long as I don't get flooded or house hit by lightning.

Stay safe.

We have freesat in the front room and virgin media in the back, and so far we've lost the connection to freesat, i hope the cable stays on with soccer Saturday been back now,

Rain is still tipping it down emergency sirens all over the place, Yarm road in the town is Flooded, I'm guessing the roads under North Road Railway Bridge and Parkgate are flooded to as they are both on an incline.

There's a big surprise :rolleyes: We had some bubbly cumulus building earlier but it suddenly turned cloudy and they flattened out. Currently 'convective junk' with some cumulus and a lot of spread out mid-level stuff. It better get it's act together fast if much is going to happen here.

Tomorrow all the heavy showers/storms nearly always avoid my area in the wind direction predicted and cluster further north on the SW peninsula.

I'm beginning to think now that this may be a summer without even a single rumble of thunder here, something that some of the recent shocking years managed to avoid. [whinge over]

A little more convection around Brum.. compared to earlier

Keeping an eye on the cells coming in from Wales, which seem to be holding their intensity...

Fingers crossed :pardon:
