Is that is for storms today?

I would be very grateful if someone could inform me I need to know whether to call it a day and go home or hang about for any more action...

Chance of heavy showers across England and Wales today and a few thunderstorms developing towards the SE this afternoon, though not as numerous as yesterday, have a camera handy, as light winds aloft and surface wind convergence may mean funnel clouds or even weak tornadoes/waterspouts develop

I took a trip away from the eastern side ( although ESTOFEX had a level1for eastern UK) to visit relatives over in Whitehaven, a small sea-side town in Cumbria. Storm clouds were building very quickly as we skirted around the lake district, but left them behind as we approached the west coast. Uneventful in Whitehaven but it was sunny and warm.

We left around 6pm and as we drove inland the storm clouds came into view. I only observed one Cg but I'm sure there were more but being on the move they were difficult to see.

Morning convection over the lake district.

So BBC and MetO have a weather warning out for heavy rain and flooding for me later today, but what weather symbol is showing? Sunny all afternoon!

Think I'll take my waterproof.

Fantastic shower just passed by here. Not great from a rain or electrical perspective (ie, nothing) but the rotation was epic! Was keeping my fingers crossed for my first funnel cloud but sadly not. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more funnel cloud pics today. Brilliant cloudscapes on offer :)

A strange one today, nothing really got going. The MO even took their warning down well before the warning was due to expire.

Well, it looked like the end of the world sort of this evening (central Leic) looking north, undulating cloud base, very dark, but then nowt again....

So, you expert netweatherers out there, what was missing today? What trigger ingredient was absent??
