I wouldn't give up yet but maybe the cloud has scuppered our chances after all?

Anyway, this storm does have a history of re-awakening so you never know.

Probably does not help this storm is probably the central one of them all so probably lots of cloud and competition from other cells killing it off im afraid. Not over yet but not looking very promising now imo for here. Some excellent storms nearby though i.e Worcester/Malvern.

They're taking their time getting up here! It'll be dark first at this rate, or  was this  supposed to happen. . 

apart from one rumble they missed me if only the postman with bills was just as kind

Altocumulus Castellanus cloud covered the sky a few minutes ago here. A few thundery showers are now developing down near St. Malo and over the Cherbourg Peninusla in France. We may just get lucky tonight.

Not sure that the northern French storms will export tonight, but there's still time. I'm sitting in my shorts and t-shirt just having had my evening meal. It's 22c in the house and 20c in the shade outside. I couldn't post the photos of today's amazing cloudscapes, but I'll try again later.
