Lots of convection and some congestus cloud seen here in NW1 when I popped out for a coffee 20 mins ago. Even had a few spots of splodgy rain. Safe to say I reckon we'll being getting a thunderstorm here this afternoon seeing what's kicking off in Essex right now.

[Wilxy]

Convection has sprung to life here now out of nowhere was clear and sunny an hour ago.

In Portsmouth doing an exam, If I fail, I'm holding these possible storms heading my way responsible !

Woking in the line of fire :-D

Im not surprised plenty of moisture around for fuel, feels muggy.

[Neilsouth]

[Wet'n'Dry]

Storm no.15 about to hit (i'm not being greedy honest), the amount of thunder is impressive!

[Supacell]

Looks like some storms likely around the capital this afternoon with most of southern England at risk of some slow moving thundery downpours.

The risk fades overnight but looks to erupt again tomorrow. I am unable to post charts until tomorrow as without laptop.

[Hirudine]

Rain and thunder here in East London. Lovely way to start the day.

[Biggin]

Hearing rumbles

[Buzzard]

Should have had rain in Camden going by the radar, but nothing on the ground...getting darker tho!

[Jason H]

Thunderstorm in progress Bexleyheath. Going very dark as well. What a summer so far for convective fans!

[Greeny]

Im surprised to see the line of turkey towers is getting longer and a bit higher. Could do something nearby on the other hand could fade just as easy.

[Mapantz]

In these setups, my chances normally come closer to 5 or 6pm- which the BBC and MO agree with. They have the elusive thunderstorm icon for here later.

[Chloe]

Storm heading towards west London two loud crashes at the min seems to be building, no lightning or rain as yet!

[Harry]

Thunderstorm in London, yaaaay

 

Love it!!! Awesome CGs and the sky has just gone very green

[tripleseis]

Hammering it down now in Camden. Rumbles of thunder heard.

[Hirudine]

It's pretty much right over my head now. Bright lightning and big thunder.
