Really nice here at the moment, Sun out and blue skies but cloud surrounds me in a circle haha. It better not stay like that if things do keep developing as they are :p

So black towards the west of here. Excellent convection so far today. Fingers crossed something will happen my neck of the woods.

Had an unexpected crack of thunder about 10 minutes ago from a shower with the main bit passing just to my north while I was (typically) on the loo. :lol:

Most of the action is to my north now as expected, but there's lots of interesting stuff on the radar with the area where I may have placed myself if I had a car having repeated downpours and T-storms! Also the stuff out west looks exciting, hopefully it can make it here.

It's odd how this shower was smaller and less heavy than yesterdays downpour that hit me dead on at 4pm. At least this summer has managed a single rumble of thunder now!!

Afternoon all, been quite a mixed day here, still no sferics but I suspect the SW will be the breeding ground and we're gonna get wacked later. Only one heavy shower to report so far!

Can someone post the latest radar output please, it's fegged up :(

These images are as of 14:15- 14:30. All steadily moving E/NE. Red crosses show where lightning has been detected by Sat24. The stuff SW of Cornwall looks interesting if it develops more!

Another very distant rumble of thunder to the north this time - over Bristol? It came from the shower that just passed over. Sun now out again but another cb hot on its heels.

I have dark clouds approaching from Bristol but havent heard anything yet or had any rain. I have a feeling I'm just a little too far North to catch it and it always seems to weaken if it travels north of Bristol!

What's a cb? Sorry to be a novice :(

CB radio, no seriously it's Cumulonimbus, or a storm cloud, elevated through convection.
