Based near rugby and everything just seems to be heading up either side of us. had a light shower early morning but we are still baked here.

I remember the ladybirds as a kid when we went to Cleethorpes in 1976. You were literally walking on a carpet of them on the promenade. Millions upon millions of them.

Front drifting through in Northants now. Temp still about 30 but gone really still and quite oppressive.

Gone quiet again here . Just for now hopefully

Can see the top of the approaching cell now even in the dark. Keeps lighting up . It’s gorgeous

I’m close to Rugby. Starting to see the flashes from the cell south of us now.

There is no water shortage. There is more than enough in reserve. Stop fretting.

Paying attention to Tamarras posts has kept me nicely relaxed these last two weeks.

I’m inclined to agree after paying attention to Tamaras posts recently.

1976 was the best by a mile for me. I was 8 yrs old. It just went on for ever and ever. Playing out every day of the holidays. If this current summer lasts well into August with no rain it could compare.

See that area just northwest of Northampton that keeps breaking up even though it’s pink all around? Guess where I am!

Thanks Paul interesting times indeed.

It came through here as snow start to finish and i'm only half a mile from the river Avon so i'm not high up. Reckon you could get a result down there whoever catches it.

Tidy streamer producing to the west of Brum. Interested to see if that batch moving south intensifies over the Irish sea where the streamer is originating from before it moves towards us.

The band has pepped up as its arrived here. snowing quite heavily which is happy days as i didn't think it would reach this far. Northampton might just catch this downstream.
