Going to say that the area looks right, but as to the description:

Issued at - 25 Aug 2011, 12:10

Valid from - 26 Aug 2011, 00:00

Valid to - 26 Aug 2011, 12:00

Persistent, heavy and possibly thundery rain will spread from the south during Thursday night and Friday morning giving totals of 25 to 35 mm quite widely and as much as 50 mm in places. This may lead to localised surface water flooding.

I'd say the rain is probably on the money, but the thundery bit is still open to interpretation.

[EML Network]

I Think tomorrow is very much going to be hit n miss , SW looks favored spot to be now that MO have gone and cursed the SE Coasters

[Coast]

Have yo ever felt like you just live 350 miles too far West?

[BornFromTheVoid]

Once again today lots more storms across Ireland, but still yet to see or hear anything!

There is a big mass of rain on it's way to me on the radar, it's gone quite dark, here's hoping it has thunder or lightning in it .

Did you get any T&L yesterday?

[Jane Louise]

Did you get any T&L yesterday?

No Lol, although I did have a big downpour which lasted a couple minutes and my trellis went flying across the garden at the same time.

[Raidan]

Just been out for a walk and could see towering cumulus and a possible cb in the distance,Still warm and sunny hear but things are looking up.

[SteveB]

There are some nice little cells popping up on the radar.

[Raidan]

Well i hope a few of us leave the NSC today or tomorrow,Boy have some people been in there for a long time,Good luck!

[Lancashire Lass]

Dare I hope I may actually see something today? Lots of promising cumulus about to the west.

Some heavy precipitation out in the Irish Sea. Some very heavy rain approaching Anglesey.

[Harry]

Blue skies and warm sunshine here, lifting those temperatures nicely

[Raidan]

Jane does it count if i leave Bristol and go further south and see a storm?Or to leave the NSC it has to be in my home city?

[SLEETY]

Amazing to think how we have missed out on the heavy rain here in sussex yet again. went west and north of us again.If this had been snow I would be seriously cheesed off by now

[Jane Louise]
