Faint distant thunder here, rain not too heavy.

What's the chances for more storms here in Cornwall today?

Think here will be the focal point for any large developments in the next few hours. Cloud thinning, cumulus congestus evident on Sat24.

What do you think my chances are here, either today or tonight?

[camturbo]

Planned on fixing the car today but that ain't going to happen now as its drizzling here. Plus forecasts suggest a potential of storms. So radar watching instead 

[Woodboss]

Just had a pretty decent thunderstorm here in peacehaven. Some decent lightning and thunder and a huge cg just over the edge of the cliffs which produced gunshot thunder. Only a second or so between lightning and thunder so perhaps only 300-400 yards away and one of the loudest I've heard for quite a while.

Damn I'm a bit further west from your circle still might get something though

Unless you see something this morning, then pretty unlikely. Tomorrow, should have a better chance.

This is just where I expect to see the first developments, not the only developments! Don't take my circle drawing as gospel either

Lol well the potential is there for storms just down to mother nature to play ball. Nothing is ever easy in this country

Pretty good.

Rain, just send rain  

[Turquoise]

Nothing up here yet AGAIN today.

It's always the bloody South. Literally always.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Looking forward to today. Right under that amber area. Seems like we could end up with a fair amount of rain by the time tonight is done.

Yes exactly. However, if we see storms kick off they'll become rather widespread with frequent lightning in places hence the MDT zone that Dan has issued.

I just can't see storms developing here today.

Currently just cloudy with light rain.

[JR319]

Full thick cloud here in Leicester. Doesn’t feel stormy at all. 

[Mapantz]

We've got a steady rain here, that's about it. Not too bothered about storms.

[Cain]

To much cloud around today doesn’t look one bit thundery at all !

[matty40s]

1st thick cloud and light rain has now moved North (Leicester way), and the sun is pushing its way through. Humidity 97%

[Atmogenic]

almost sounded magical getting up and opening the windows hearing rain falling on the leaves of the trees, feels like years since we got any now

[thunderhead 2005]

Gone very dark here in Andover cells appearing just to our south, it feels like it's going to go boom any moment.

[thunderhead 2005]

It feels that there are all the right ingredients but no cigar, we have rain no thunder and the cells seem to be peppering up.

Apart from Scotland yesterday! 

[Rufus Butterfield]

I’m just barely (by like a couple miles) into the SLGT of Dan’s forecast. UKV isn’t providing too much but I’ll see what happens.

MetO has our area clearing up between 12pm and 2pm before some monster storms look like they develop and come right over our area!

Don't lose your hope yet.
