Just east of Dolgellau has been pounded now by very intense rain for the last hour looking at the radar. Must be some flash flooding.

Is it me or are the storms steering away from the Isle of Man?

Met Office suggesting the thunderstorms across Wales will continue overnight and spread NE, so hopefully areas that have missed out so far will join in on the action

 

This Evening and Tonight:

 

Heavy showers and the risk of thunder will continue across many southwestern parts of Wales through the evening and overnight. These will spread northeastwards, to most parts by dawn. Minimum Temperature 12 °C. 

Tuesday:Cloudier than of late, with periods of heavy showers and the risk of thunder. Turning drier for most through the late afternoon. Maximum Temperature 19 °C.

 

UK forecast

 

This Evening and Tonight:Further scattered, perhaps thundery showers are expected during the evening, mainly across western parts of the UK, continuing through the night in the southwest. It will be largely fine and mild elsewhere.

 

Tuesday:Thundery showers most probable across parts of Wales, central and northern England, then southern Scotland later. Warm sunny spells in-between, but feeling chilly near northeastern coasts under low cloud.

Is that something forming in the NE of France!?

 

Latest UKMO precip forecast chart suggesting something coming in from the SE this evening - so fingers crossed :D

 

Usually a very good direction too as the channel there is at its narrowest (having said that to my knowledge most of any evening activity is likely to be elevated so channel effect shouldnt be too problematic)

Indeed if they are elevated they won't be effected, storms really starting to get going now on the south coast.

Optimistic myself that the longer the sun is out over England the more kj of CAPE builds, once the mid-layer becomes destabilized by the overriding front moving out from N.France it's going to kick things into action. Still plenty of time for things yet, especially around the Home-Counties area moving up north into the night.

I can hear thunder now! Very deep loud rumbles...

Are there any live webcams on the IOM. The ones I have been searching keep refreshing

They just can't say the word 'thunderstorm' can they? Ugh it's so meek and bleurgh!

Impressive storm over Wales right now but there is an even bigger one in Finland! Lets hope some of that stuff over N.France can become something special!I recently brought a new patio umbrella/sun shade, I will be using it in the event of a storm!! Don't think it will offer much protection though. lol

Something is just building over me. Be interesting to see if it builds as it moves north. A few very large drops is col it managed here but it appeared to build from nowhere.

Kicking off in Dorset now, around Bridport. Nothing but drizzle and the occasional heavy shower here in South Devon, but here's hoping for some late development.
