Storm risk - Monday 9th May onwards

[Ben Sainsbury]

Possible Squall Line developing South of Swindon.

[weather09]

Yep, shower/storm motion variable for different regions from W-E and slow through the course of the afternoon as winds aloft fall light under trough axis.  

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Squall is taking shape - Reading better hold on to their umbrellas!

[William Grimsley]

Just got home, we travelled through some heavy downpours but no thunder and lightning which was strange, things seem to be developing now which is good.

[MP-R]

First intense downpour of the day - real 'shower on, shower off' style.

[STORMGUY]

Some good developments to the far north west of here now

[Speedway Slider]

Leicester @ 13:55 (weds 18th May 16)

Sun starting to get to work on the lower clouds now, definately a brighter, but still cloud laden sky,  now not dark enough to go off for bad light sort of level....

Rain this morning but since 10 o'clock ish it has stayed dry blue sky sun shining convection bubbling up feeling warm i think a trip to the pub is on doesnt look like its going to rain here anytime soon.

First lightning strike detected NE of Swindon.

Problem at the moment everything still a bit messy and unorganised, give it a couple more hours and I think things start getting its act together, best times will be from 7pm onwards  Patience!

Haven't seen the forecast. Just relied on @Greenday's forecast which hasn't turned out correct.
