Probably just showing the ingredients are arriving.

I think your probably right

The sky is so dark to my south, I can't believe there's no lightning coming down

It’s dark here too, think it’s being made worse by multiple levels of cloud and what’s effectively virga absorbing a lot of light.

Things had gotton a lot darker over here, so I went into the garden and was greeted by this! The depth that I could see in that cloud was awesome.20230823_191623.thumb.jpg.10b497a1cf780a317cc23af76292b2d8.jpg

The metoffice are again making themselves look silly with the large hail comments. Every time they issue a storm warning large hail comes into it.

Thats because there is the RISK of large hail, doesn't mean it WILL happen

Cloud formations aside, we've got a nice contrasting sky with the appearance of a rainbow. Haven't seen one in quite a while.

Quite a lot of difference in the UKV on the positioning of the rain/thunderstorm band moving near the IOW.

UKV 15z is encouraging, a direct hit by a Multicell cluster around 08:00 followed by further bouts of organised thunderstorms running close to the coast until midday.

I am in Devon until tomorrow, so a storm in Worthing is absolutely a nailed on certainty until I get back....

Similarly, as I'm home tomorrow, I recommend any fans of storms to evacuate the Colchester area immediately to avoid disappointment.

Storm? Storm? I had a look but I think these will be Sussexy-Kent clippers. Shame.  I'll keep my fingers crossed...
