All my time Radar watching i have never seem it like this!   Looks quite fast moving though, is it supost to stall somewhere? 

 

Low pauses briefly over SE and deepens (allowing further intesification) then moves off out to North Sea some time tomorrow morning.

[DAVID SNOW]

Ignoring precipitation charts (they're always unreliable in these sorts of setups) the wider scale synoptic stuff looks OK to me

Oh I hope so , I really do, just have that nagging feeling that all the sparky stuff will be too far east(YET AGAIN )

Respect your posts greatly, keep em coming

This time then.............. Trying to keep calm

[Jax]

just had a rumble here (nope not me)

[Neilsouth]

Haven't seen a radar img like this in years!

Yes: other factors have to come into play, and it looks like they will; could well be it forms over your head and then gives someone downstream the light show!! But let's hope not. The forecast of the channel low sparking off storms in it's wake looks like a correct call (up to now) so should be OK!!

well folks looks like the lightning is hitting a brick wall of de-electrifying substance and its just gonna be plain rain here. unless the downs or london has a say about it.. doubt it tho.

[If Wishes made Weather]

I'm a bit suprised the MetO havent put a bit more of a warning up for some of the counties in the S and SE - unless the radar is giving a false impression and the channel knocks the whole lot flat.

Nope. The mesoscale activity causing the cells is the low pressure moving up the channel. It's not in the south east yet. It might look like that storm over Le Havre is moving, and it is  - virtually due North, all the stuff to the east of there is the channel low sparking off new cells as it goes.

These clouds are darkening and the thunder is becoming louder but longer intervals between the rumbles! I am excited haha Its been over a year since a good one so fingers crossed  

[Tom Jarvis]

send it p to me cannot hear any thunder here

[Bluebreezer54]

It's been another hot and humid afternoon here in Nw London (29c ). About an hour ago the skies darkened, and a few spots of rain fell. So few that you could almost count them.

 

It's actually quite spooky that the atmosphere feels so loaded and ripe for a huge storm, but it's just not happening. Looking at that rain radar I'm not even convinced we will be in for a much needed soaking in these parts. Happy to be proved wrong of course.

[LeeRoyxD]

Wont be long Tom Jarvis Heres hoping.

[snowfall09]

View from Folkestone looking south over the channel

[tomp456]

Still hearing the odd rumble coming from the channel, other than that nothing but moderate rain here 19.2C. Here's hoping for something a little more interesting a little later on if that wouldn't be too much trouble, mother nature! 

 

Edit: Thunder now getting a bit louder, and sky is getting increasingly darker.

Not feeling confident in Ipswich, Kent looks like it's going to be good tonight though!

[Crepuscular Ray]

It's been chucking it down for over half an hour in Hailsham and the thunder over the Channel is nearly continuous at times.

[LeeRoyxD]

Constant... Sounds like a generator in the channel. 

[Charltonkerry]

I think my cunning plan may have been worked out, she who must be obeyed just came in from outside, worried that she might be hit by lightening.

Really dark and just started to rain in Dartford, very humid, just waiting for the first (wasted) flash.

Oh Yes!!! Must sound fantastc hearing that!

[Captain Shortwave]

can someone tell me when the storms arrive, I won't know because of the fog and the constant sound of drunk locals 

[<<Ryan>>]

Deep rumbles getting closer here. Radar looks amazing!!

[Marie]

No thunder or lightening here just rain
