Nice to see a return to some convective skies this afternoon.

Nothing thundery around at the moment though.

Hoping for one here concidering a whole bunch of stuff is heading this way. Just wondering if it'll be with or without lighting.

Few hailstones a few minutes ago briefly.

Maybe a nice moment to say we've recently upgraded the radar detection on Netweather to use the new Met Office LEELA system, which is a significant update on the old ATD. All the detectors and radar etc are now using that
