Looking at surface wind observations, I would say Dartmoor may be the best place for any thunderstorms this evening.

West of Munich is where all storm enthusiasts want to be right now!!!

It is, it's the same lot that includes Ulm. Pity there is no visible lightening on the cam, just plenty of flashes at the moment

The latest GFS  surely has some good potential from Tuesday just looking at the CAPE and LI  figures.

Anaprop or real?

Hoping it's not anaprop - but guessing if it isn't then those showers are some of the fastest showers I've ever seen

Sky above is looking a bit squiffy tho... So many conflicting reports of what the weather is gonna do I don't know whether to settle in expecting nothing or keep one eye on the web as the night progresses in case something crops up...

Had a feeling that's what they were, seemed to come from nowhere, at warp speed....!!

Yes, that's anaprop. I think my next chance of trying to see something is later on next week...

I wish! But, you've had your thunderstorms this year, Devon's had hardly anything.

Some thundery activity in S Holland moving slowly towards SE England, wonder if it'll make it? The North Sea doesn't seem to kill storms like the Channel....

You'll be lucky if it reaches Kent let alone Surrey!

Now that is a storm that has erupted over Germany!

storm.jpg

Can confirm it was quite something, in terms of lightning and thunder... it looked like it was dying out as it approached my town (about 5okm north of Frankfurt. It finally arrived properly from about 00:30, putting on a reasonable show at first with plenty of IC and the odd CG thrown in for good measure, though nothing unusual. Then, some time after I'd gone to bed and the heavy rain had died out a bit, we had several CG's very near (averaging less than half a second between lightning and thunder). Not sure what time that was - by then too sleepy to care much, am as a rule not woken by thunder but these were like a cannon going off.

To be honest I'd prefer some sunshine rather than this awful North Sea grot but a nice storm would be a good second :)

I was watching a live stream in america last night, and one of the people in the chat was from your town. She was giving us a running commentary of the storm. Including those loud ones.
