Morning everyone. Again, totally out of region for me; but the U.K. Meto have just issued another yellow thunderstorm warning, for today. As I say, no use to me, but good luck to the other members of this forum in tbe highlighted areas.

Morning all. So, just to quote myself from the summer solstice thread… “Well, this is it… 21st of June 2023… The day of the summer solstice. 15:57 is the time when it happens… I’ll see you all on the other side of it”.

Morning all. Well, this is it… 21st of June 2023… The day of the summer solstice. 15:57 is the time when it happens… I’ll see you all on the other side of it.

Morning everyone My apologies if someone has already posted this, but the U.K. Meto have just issued another yellow thunderstorm warning for today. Out of my area… But good luck to everyone in the warning area who’s after a storm.

Evening all. Second storm of the day now incoming from my south, from the Wrexham area. I’m gonna post these two charts up here in the hope that they help others… Whilst I watch and wait, to hopefully capture some more lightning

One word… STUNNING!

Just been woken up by a good rumble of thunder to my south! Please let this be a good ole nocturnal rattler. Here’s the current lightning and rainfall maps for us here in the U.K.

Morning all. So just to quickly add to @CoventryWeather’s post, here’s a screenshot from the U.K. Meto App with regards to Sunday’s yellow storm warning. Lets hope it’s a good and stormy day for us all, as I’m sure by now, even the most hardened summer sun lovers will be starting to agree that we do need some rainfall if nothing else.

Seconded, thirded and fourthed @Dark Horse

Just one week to go until the summer solstice... I'm not gonna lie, since around mid May all I have had is inescapable warmth and that horrible glary overhead sun, so as a reverse SAD sufferer, this year has been absolute torture for me. One more week... I can do this... Just one more week until the 'tide starts to turn'... This is now so close I can almost taste the finish line. Edit: I tell a small lie, as I did have four thunderstorms over the past weekend.

Another day, another thunderstorm As much as I hate hot, sweaty and sultry summer weather, I tend to find it much more bearable when each day ends with a thunderstorm The past three days have turn out to be quite a notable thundery spell. Today was my fourth storm in three days! Let’s hope that we all don’t have to wait too long before the next thundery interlude.

The sky over towards my east/north east has just gone very dark… Distant rumbles of thunder, and now the rain has started! My fourth storm in three days?!

The sound of distant thunder So after an afternoon of distant rumblings of thunder on the t’other side of the Clwydian Range, the atmosphere changed at around 17:00… It felt much cooler and fresher… An hour later at 18:00 I threw the towel in on getting a thunderstorm today. Needless to say that the sky started to turn a strange orange colour, and then it clouded over… Then just after 21:30, the sky started to turn dark… Very dark… Black even! And then low and behold, I’m treated to a nocturnal rattler! A very high elevation storm, but I’m certainly not complaining. Three storms in two days!! Fingers crossed for another day of storms tomorrow. Here’s a couple of this evenings high elevation storm over the south side of the Wirral. @SarahWxm @Foxgloves and everyone else of course… Here’s a few pics that I managed to get from this evenings storm.

Looks like I threw the towel in too soon! Looks like I’ve got a high elevation storm!

Well in the past hour, the atmosphere has totally changed in my neck of the woods; so unless something pops up out of nowhere, then it’s a bust for me today. Still, I had two storms yesterday, and tomorrow has potentially as well… So I can’t really complain. So I’ll just leave these to screenshots here in the hope that they’ll be useful to other members of this good forum.

I’ve got near constant distant rumbles to my west. This is my current view looking west towards the Clwydian Range, along with a couple of current maps showing where thing’s currently are.

The sun is now really starting to break through the crud of yesterdays storms… The temperature is rising… Is unbelievably humid! Anyway… This is the current track of rainfall and lightning.

Morning all. Well after two storms yesterday, I have to say that I’m looking forward to today’s hopeful activity. But likewise, I’m also aware that thunderstorms can be fickle beasts. So good luck to everyone again with this today; and the U.K. Meto have just issued another yellow thunderstorm warning for tomorrow, Monday!!

Second storm of the day, incoming directly from my south!!

Not a bad little storm here, and it’s brought some most welcome, cooling, life giving rain!

U.K. Meto just upgraded my area to an Amber thunderstorm warning! Plus my view looking east.

Distant, but constant grumblings of thunder to my south, towards the Wrexham area!

Afternoon everyone. A very warm and sultry afternoon here in North East Wales. But things are starting to bubble up, and it’s turning hazy as well. Will it go bang? Only time will tell. But good luck to everyone like me who’s wanting some storm action.

Morning everyone I see that the U.K. Meto have now issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms on Sunday as well as Saturday! We all know that storms can be fickle things, so good luck to everyone with this over the coming few days.

Morning Everyone I see that the U.K. Meto have issued their first weather warning with regards to Saturday’s storm potential. As always, with us being this far out, please take this with a gritter load of salt, as is probably gonna change as the time approaches… But it is nice to see something else being forecast other than just high pressure.
