Not expecting much tbh.

Too much high cloud and not enough sun

But any thunder is better than no thunder at all.

True, there does seem to be a lot around...on sat looks like it could clear soon though, fingers crossed....

[William Grimsley]

Sunny, humid and bubbly is how I'd sum it up here! Would really not be surprised if something kicks off here later, it's so sultry!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Very hazy here. And hot as toast

[Homerr]

In Watford, pretty toasty with milky skies rather humid but unsure of exact temperatures.

But I can see things popping up to the SE of London!

Bring it onnnnnnnnnnnnn

[tomp456]

Lightning. Storm must about 5-8 miles away.

I got a nice thunderstorm last night near Newcastle in County Down.

 

The larger strike was a positive CG, the base of the bolt even took on a smooth appearance, and the shockwave was powerful to shake the car even at a distance of 3 miles!

 

I uploaded a video of the storm too, right here

Hopefully today will deliver the goods as well!

My dad's in lancing,  is it moving inland? 

[Ben Sainsbury]

For anyone that isn't too sure the trough is currently sat in the approx position below. Expect developments either side of this as it moves eastwards.

[tcc]

It's just getting darker and darker here in Crawley, we might be in luck later!

 

[Homerr]

Love how my corner of London is close to the bottom of it! 

I WANT THUNDER! 

[P-M]

I can now see the edge of the storm to the west of me - lots of towers and etc

[Martin Auld]

Large cumuliform clouds rolling in from the south west, I really hope something comes along even if it's just a couple of rumbles

[chionomaniac]

Seem to have a storm trying to develop overhead in Brighton rather than out to sea as has been the case for the last vfew hours. First rumble heard. Though the formation of these showers is slow and laborious!

Yes.

[PaulyPilot]

dull as poo here, nothing exciting happening at all (again)

[tomp456]

This is the storm near Brighton. 

Pic is looking south.

am 10 miles west of it

[Summer Sun]

Storm developing between Barnard Castle and Brough no strikes detected from this yet

[MP-R]

Rather a lot of cloud around today, not good. Need this to shift to allow for some diurnal heating!

[West Sussex Kate]

I can here thunder

Hi folks, quick question, 

 

the forecast period. Synoptically, a plume of warm, moist air continues to advect north from the nearby Continent, capped initially by a notable warm nose aloft. However, it is likely that elevated convection

 

What is a (notable warm "nose" aloft)

 

"nose"

 

In weather speak??

Thanks..

 

High pressure I think.

[Martin Auld]

I can here thunder in the distance this could be good
