Ha ha. In the mid session break and its gone off in the distance because of course it has. Oh well. At least the cloud has gone mostly now allowing for surface latent heat release when it warms up later. Already seeing another distant shower and can bet you it'll pass through just before I'm let out. Actually looking like it could be quite a decent convective day here with perhaps a line of convergence.

Wouldn’t that just be so typical if that happens lol. It does look like you guys in particular have a good chance of seeing some potent showers and/or storms. Fingers crossed for you and others. Maybe a bit of a chance of something here as well. Will have to see.

My friend Chailey on Twitter shared this with me but hasn't tweeted it yet. Very similar to the mammatus I had here.

Some showers to my north and to my east

A shower just passed and generated some small hail didn’t catch most of it only captured a small piece of it

Not holding immense hope for storms today here, but wouldn't mind a few more nice cloudscapes this afternoon. Good luck to all - seems to be a fair few heavy showers off the coast of Wales which (hopefully) will be the line that will produce some this afternoon as it moves eastwards.

Windy and dark with hail in Torquay.

They're passing over very fast and then the sun is coming out quickly. Great cloudscapes, an amazing day for watching the sky.

[TQWX]

South Devon lighting up but not heard anything in Torquay yet.

 

[Eagle Eye]

Out of maths revision now so can get proper pictures.

Got a decent view from here

Another squally lot just moved through here. No thunder but some hail and almost sleet splodges. Temperature dropped back down to 05.5C.

[Arnie Pie]

I wouldn`t say its blowing a Hoolie but the blocks rubbish shoots are beginning to make a sax aphonic tune

Not a lot of wind in East Sussex at the moment, sure this will change in the next 2-3 hours tho

[Lynxus]

So many CBs about round here. Specially to the West and SouthWest.
Sun is out , so fingers crossed for a few cracks of thunder later.

Very Exciting latest 9z UKV ! Surface Heating building across the east and south potentially allowing Thunderstorms to fire of around 15z or earlier.

I do hope so, I’ve got a feeling that today might be a bust but you never know 

[CoventryWeather]

Any reports near the Ledbury Cell? Produced some lightning but limited reports online about it.

Looks pretty big from Glos. but like almost every other around here at the moment. A lot are gonna pop off in the next hour i recon.

[Tamsin]

First rumble here in Bromley!

[daveinSB]

Couple of passing showers in Acton and Shepherds Bush have given some decently gusty winds, maybe 35-40mph.

It's very bright here, hoping that the insolation can help with some potent cells.

It feels like anything moderately convective could drag some serious winds down

Yep we had two fairly close by in Kingsbridge an hour ago. Second one knocked the power out briefly.

From what I understand, the worst potential winds aren't due till later? Windy enough this morning!

[Jamie M]

Surprised that has actually produced some sferics, doesn't look special on radar.

[Metwatch]

Cirrus outflow beginning to be seen, ahead of that band of rain, possibly thundery just west of here moving towards my location.

Got the timelapse running, will see what I can catch.

 

[MP-R]

Clouds so big I can’t fit it into even wide angle! Heard a few rumbles from this.
