I love this, quality picture mate! 

 

Been surprisingly a really quiet first half to the year down here on the Isle of Wight, the type of conditions and wind directions and other elements just haven't been right for these parts. However im not gonna as I know we have had our fair share over the years. And there is a long long way to go yet! 

Really happy for those who are having a good year this year, even though im still jealous, I love tracking it all and enjoy reading all the reports :D

I'd say goodluck on hopefully getting some mate but I can't stand storms so hopefully none :D although I'd happily let you both take them if it meant keeping them away from Cambridge. In fairness we've avoided almost everything so far which is crazy considering how close we've come to them all this summer, more so yesterday with that monster just below us. God seems to be hearing my prayers right now haha.

Drove right by Camboune yesterday, and drove right into that monster! Really was spitting out some of the best daytime lightning I've seen in a long time.

Front growing weaker as it heads east looks totally storm free this country at the moment nothing on radar.

"This evening and tonight. 

There will be further scattered very heavy and thundery downpours during the evening but these will gradually ease off overnight, becoming lighter and more isolated by dawn. Remaining generally rather cloudy. Winds mainly light and variable."

Erm...further? Earth calling Met-office. Really annoys me when they do this!

Don't understand why you're so riled up, there are currently heavy showers in the forecast area, and there will be further heavy showers this evening - what's the problem?

I do hope none of them are forecast in the SE, as I hate being woke up by thunder.

Guess it depends on the depth of one's interest in convective storms (or meteorology in general) but I would advise others to read up more on how storms develop, that way you can have a look at the models outputs ahead of a period of interest to gauge the likelihood of storms developing, and if they develop how intense they could be.  You could have a go at forecasting, or even just give a view based on what the model outputs are showing. Think it's something that would improve this part of the forum greatly, and perhaps save disappointment when little happens for one's location.

Well the biggest killer probably round here was the temperatures not getting high enough to provide the trigger. Models won't provide that level of detail. So far it's been like the EU 2016 promise but little goal action and plenty of misses.

Radar suggests that it's raining at 3mm an hour not even spotting. That's V7 V4 shows that it is dry.

No thundery activity on the front and hasn't been all day bar a few flashes down in the south east.

Some breaks appearing in the cloud cover in the last hour. Now have huge towering cumulus developing rapidly, very dark low bases on them. Wouldn't be surprised to see some storms firing in the next couple of hours.

I don't think temperatures are relevant - but looking at the WRF-NMM model, CAPE levels were low in this part of the world anyway so there was never much potential for anything other than heavy rain.
