To get a thundery Low to move directly North over Southern England is a rare as hens teeth these days.
What on earth has changed with our weather patterns?
Climate change at a guess

Perhaps a little hope down here; lots of mid-level AC around and some of it is trying to reach for the sky.
I am sharing that hope, just spotted the AC myself.

On Flightradar24 a few planes have been put into a holding patterns now waiting to land at Birmingham Airport .
No thunder here yet , hoping it doesn't burn out before it arrives . Missed out yesterday as it went west of here .
The hold for Gatwick earlier this afternoon was dizzying.

What a storm!
I’m hearing the thunder from that, so deep & rumbly! Would love to know what the actual storm looks like.

I get that storm- loving fans are disappointed, but does anyone actually read past the abbreviated notification warning any more?
I’ve attached the Met Office “further details” attached to the warning - look at what I’ve ringed in red; “most” means the majority and the confidence chart is “unlikely”.
I know people are disappointed but the Met Office have done the right thing. Plus many of us enthusiasts know not to get our hopes up too far in advance & to watch the radar nearer the time.
P.S. the text says late afternoon/early evening. It’s early evening now and there are sferics on the radar. Just in someone else’s back garden lol.

This always baffles me this, every year, when you see reports of muggy and humid and yet when you read the nearest airport TAFs, they don't say humid?
Liverpool airport has 39% humidity as does Hawarden.
Just to add to the “muggy af” sentiment it’s the same here now & my weather station says 65% humidity.

Well that was rather enjoyable, far less thunder than lightning lightning (which puzzles me), sky still flickering now

I agree it did feel muggy earlier but not now. It’s very still, no breeze and 16.6 degrees according to my weather station.

The recent rain has made such a difference in the garden. Everything is exploding in to life now. The grass is on steroids! The pond filters are running, pond is clearing up, and the fish have been going nuts. Always nice to see after what feels like an eternal dormancy.
Completely agree (except swap fish for newts). This is the first year of our seeded wildflower lawn, sown last November, and it's taken what feels like forever to start growing. With the recent deluges it's now lush & green, flowers & buds are out and the dragonflies are loving it!

Maybe we're just getting old
Saying that, I do remember many nights as a child hiding from thunderstorms in my sister's bed, and I do feel like the 70's & 80's were more prolific than now, sadly.
