Storm is finally heading this way from the east, fingers crossed one finally makes it!

Of course the minute I sit down the cloud bubbles over the Pentlands

[Ravelin]

Currently 25.4C and sat outside in dappled shade with a drink, to end the working week. High for today was 26.2c, just 0.4C short of the high for the week so far on Tuesday.

Pitch black to the east, some big rumbles of thunder, hoping to finally get some rain

Ross, been chucking it down over here. Calmed down a bit but some mighty long lasting rumbles going on up there!!

[NUT]

Look at this little beauty can hear distant grumbles

[Ceitidh]

Have tried to change colours on the picture a bit to show a ‘rope’ that formed for a few minutes.

Storm is barely moving, still in the same place but getting bigger  meto just issued a warning for since its over Glasgow at rush hour I guess.

Cleared again and sunny but you can see the clouds building to the South and West

There was a bright flash followed barely a second later by a loud clap of thunder. Other than that some faint flashes and rumbles abs heavy rain which has eased for now. An impressive pink cumulonimbus cloud to the east.

Fab capture I'm thinking this will be the same cell?

 

[Ross B]

Saw some lightning earlier and lots of thunder. Starting to taper off now, it never inched any further west so the drought continues! Some mammatus starting to show now though.

Edging closer but no thunder yet this far east. 

[Rickoza]

The Motherwell thunderstorm shield holding firm.  Looking towards East Kilbride.   

[101_North]

Looks like it ended up with maybe a rumble or two from that cell earlier but heard nowt here!

[NUT]

Even if not a direct hit from that monster cloud today hopefully a sign of things to come for next few days at the very least even if no more storms rain would be very very welcome here

[snowidea]

Nothing here in Falkirk but oh golly it feels muggy, hot and oppressive.

Best storm event I've ever witnessed in this country

[Northernlights]

Another great midsummer sunset after a hot humid sunny day that reached 25c. Silage bales all home and stacked some nice strawberries for tea and half neeps scarified. 

[Mair Snaw]

I can't wait for Sunday nights rain to come and for a cooler week.. i can't stand this heat.. already counting down the weeks untill autumn arrives.

Breakdown from the SW proceeding slowly.  Measurable rain currently no further than line Jura to Kirkcudbright.

By far the highest report was Castle Kennedy, which reported dubious steady heavy rain (21mm) over four hours yesterday afternoon.  Site has not reported since, so assumed fault?  So:   Craigenlee Croft (Portpatrick) 5.2mm,     Lagafater Lodge 3.4mm,     Brigton 2.6mm,     Kirriereoch 2.2mm.  Not enough to wet the ground.

No ground truth for areas of echoes NE of this line.        Edit - Correction, spots of rain five minutes later!

Unlike the last.............month more or less barely any sun so far but the start of the change maybe some rain soon too

[SW Saltire]

Was just south of Strathaven today, nice areas of countryside when you turn off the M74 at Lesmahagow. 
Fields still pretty Green with some decent growth, no deep yellow like back home.

There was even a few spots of what the locals were calling ‘rain’. I’m unsure if I knew what it was… not enough to wet the ground. 
Cloudy, muggy and at home it’s just over 22c. Rain please arrive.
