Some big gusts around with this south-easterly. temp is 23.7 °c, one of the warmest places in the north-west as I expected here.

nice juicy storms over mid/north Wales now, and new storms firing over Dartmoor as the midlevels become more conducive.....For here in central southern England, bands of Ac Cas are developing in the southern skies indicative of a re-destabalizing plume, and eyes are drawn to north west France and the English Channel as elevated convection and associated showers are breaking out......exciting times!

Daylight slowly turning to the classic eerie dark ambient light here now as the cell approaches. Rumbles are very deep and long.

I think you're laughing if your a storm lover and live in Wales! It could be great today, tonight and all day tomorrow.

The precipitation that has come up from the south/southwest has been weak but it just exploded over Wales. I'm worried that could be the case here later, just general rain until it feeds much further inland.

Fantastic!

Distant rumbles are nearly constant now, Sounds like an approaching storm in Florida with deep constant rumbles.

Unless you live here lol. Potent storms last night passed just a few miles to the E, missing us again so far. Hopefully a monster is lurking with our name on it.
