Yeah, that would have been edited by a senior forecaster at the BBC Weather Centre.

[Convective]

Quite jealous! Nothing here still, very small cumulus blasting by on the breeze..

[Evening thunder]

Some very nice convective skyscapes around here with a cell to the NW with nice rain/hail shafts.

[Robbie Garrett]

Yeah, that would have been edited by a senior forecaster at the BBC Weather Centre.

Clouds broke here in London slightly, some Altocumulus in the blue sky. Thursday looks far more interesting in my eyes, but let's see how today plays out.

Might be nice for some imports, as that's generally where they are coming from.

Some amazing looking clouds down here in Weymouth (in my coach!). Had a short hail storm about 15 minutes ago, and looking like another is approaching from the west soon

[matty40s]

I got caught in the squall line yesterday just as I was mooring up , I may as well have jumped in the canal I was that wet.

Todays view from the office is getting more impressive by the minute.

Shugborough Hall, east of Stafford, I am not cruising today.
