Ok so my attention is now diverted to the cell over near Salisbury that's making it's way north east.

A few drops of rain, but, nothing noteworthy. 

Amazing skies this evening, though.

 

[James 'Jamie C' Croucher]

Oh it may be looking hopeful!! Will it help when it's night and the temp drops to spark things off??

[Mokidugway]

Can imagine a few hikers in the Lake District running for their lives come tomorrow afternoon !!..

[poseidon]

Looks like it's dying a death at the moment.

[James 'Jamie C' Croucher]

That sky is amazing

Spot the plume

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the angle of light from the sun setting in the west the plume becomes visible as the rounded hazy area ahead of the destabilizing atmosphere over the SW UK. Satellites are great toys methinks..

Been following this over the channel hoping for something Weymouth/Portland way, hate it when it's firing in towards us then it veers east! However, looking rather dark outside and a strong breeze and I have a stinking headache so maybe we will see something here!

Welcome aboard the forum, James.  

 

A great pic that is with those interesting Altocumulus cloud structures. Hopefully something for you there later. 

 

If you can, though, could you please put your nearest location in your profile so we know where the reports are coming from. Cheers.

The Shoreham AIrport/Brighton City Airport webcam is quite good as it pans around looking partially at the sky. Can see some development to the SW www.flybrighton.com/webcam

Phoar ... Bit better this photo

[MP-R]

If only the storms would form where the best ingredients are... i.e. over here, then bingo! Have had plenty of thundery precursory clouds this evening.

These aren't edited, it really has turned strange..

That description shows how difficult this is to predict. I feel my location tomorrow will be the /breeding ground' for storms N and East of here.

Love the sky like that, nice.

[dave reid]

last couple of day time pics

On the second you can hopefully make out the rain streaks that are not making it to the ground

[Gordon Webb]

to be fair the bbc did show one or two 2 heavy showers with the odd rumble as they call it in the area of london or southern england overnight but nothing major and not much showing in the SW either their main focus was showers/storms in northern england / scotland tomorrow afternoon onwards they did also say it would not be blue sky and a lot of white milky skies tomorrow

[Robbie Garrett]

[Storm mad]

I have just looked out the window looking south here and can see dark looking towers. I wonder if we'll get something later

[Bolt from the Blue]

so far we have 3 sferics that have reached mainland

yes , thought that all along , another over rated event on the cards,the wigan storm sheild flexing its muscles to deflect any storms that come within 20 miles of its powerful zapping energy field  ., its charging itself up as we speak, 

 

 seeing  distant anvils towards the north , cumbria, north lanchashire moors etc , will be the days event, and watching them move away of course  , just might hear a rumble from a developing shower before noon,  if i am very very lucky

Took these about an hour ago. The convection was to the south west. Something's cooking out there and pretty fast.

I'm just waiting for my dad aka my babysitter to come home so I can get in my car and try and find a decent vantage point high up and facing the sea

[Odd Spot]

Not the best cam as it skips frames, but in a way is better as it has just shown a lightening strike out at sea from Boscombe and it seems as slow motion

And the usual Bournemouth one
