watch the lot heading towards brighton to see how it reacts

when it hits land

if we keep the precipitation coming up from the channel

there is unstable air there but have a feeling it will more

than likely be heavy showers and the odd rumble

hi quantum we should say no chance of storms

more often ,it seems to have done the trick

[Mesoscale]

no thunder here, some moderate rain but its making my flowers in the garden smell wonderful! just sat at my back door with a dining room chair with my feet on the step watching and listening! sometimes i love england and sometimes I hate it this is one of those times where I couldn't think of anywhere else to live

[Jason T]

Raining now,not to heavy,Change that pssss down

[Mark Burton]

I've been watching this storm for an hour or so now! Will it make it up to Cambridgeshire, or will it die out as forcast?

[john pike]

seems to be waking up as it heads out of london

the lot in brighton looks to be intensifying as well

[Mark Burton]

This is moving North very quickly, but it seems to be weaking quickly too. The brighter colours are becoming less and less with each 15 minute interval on the radar. It won't be long before it gets here tho.

Feels very sticky tonight, one of the nicest weather types is heavy rain on a warm night.
