Hey is there a website for this outlook? Like what does the green/yellow/orange/red mean and what are the risks associated with each category?

Green is geneeal risk, then yellow is slight risk, orange is enhanced and red is moderate risk, pink would be high . I really should add that  to my template now that I think about it, I just put them on twitter every day.

Glad you can see this, I am currently looking towards Bedford from Rushden across open fields, its getting darker and looking good.

 

To add, first distant rumble heard!

No lightning that I've seen though - pretty intense rain which I was caught in. A nice drink for the plants.

[Cain]

Can’t see nothing happening here in South Wales today even with the sun poking through !!

[weatherobsuk]

A few small but sharp cells beginning to 'pop' in the Midlands, fingers crossed.

[mike5900]

21.6c Humidity  79. Dark clouds  to the south. 

[JTM]

Potentially some cells appearing along the M42/A42 corridor, good convection visible to my south.

[Petorious]

Trying to keep it old school and not look at radar or lightning trackers as doing that usually brings disappointment, good old looking out the window. Its now a near on constant rumble and getting darker. Things must be changing fast.

[mike5900]

Lightning near Bridport.
