Great skies toward Birmingham - currently near Leamington. Now casting for a bit and just figuring what the heck to do!

I would wait around that area, maybe travel a bit further north? got a feeling something will form around there in a hour or two...

I think you may have a bit of a wait as any thundery activity is not really due until the early hours of tomorrow morning, but you would likely need to be further west than where you are currently. Having said that and as we know from experience, thunderstorms and plumes are very unpredictable. 

yeah not expecting anything until midnight but there is definately development!

dont want to go more than an hour from my current location cos I've got work in Reading tomo. Where would ppl recommend based on my current location?

I bet Mokidugway has a great view of the large trout heading his way in Cumbria! 

He says Hi to convective

Was there any drops hitting the ground, looks like there may be a few drops being produced in that first one.

Not that I could feel, although a fellow TWO member in Glossop has reported light rain falling from AcCas there.

Every storm here reminds me of him - but I look forward to his "because of" pup(s) (I want two, OH not so sure - domestic to ensue!!!) and storm watching with them.

Strikes have arrived on mainland Scotland...

These bloody posts move so fast that you get behind just talking to someone!

Can see a tower way out to my NW over the Irish Sea probably towards the Isle of Man.

[Geordiesnow]

Looking at XC Weather and there is some convergence zones perhaps developing, one over the centre of Ireland and one over Northern parts of Wales, it will be interesting how the rainfall will interact with all this and see if that rain over Ireland will start to turn more heavier and thundery. 

For those who don't know, convergence zones are where winds are blowing from opposite directions but towards each other so for example ---> <---- - when you see the arrows on XC Weather showing that, then the chances of thundery activity could well increase.

I wish Moki would come back, his Cumbrian perspective was unique, special and valuable...

Seem to be towers going up to the west and southwest of me.

Northamptonshire sunset, looking forward to some early hours action, behind me the cloud cover is growing fast.

Sweltering in South Wales!!!!  .... 326c, stay safe 

'kin hell that's hot!

hmmm?

Didn't think the screw zone sounded good for us. Not entirely surprised. Very still and exceptionally humid though and I have a headache I am struggling to shake off. Looks like this energy will come to nothing sadly here though. 

[SP1986]

It's worth noting we have some quite significant AcCAS banding here, and in general skies are quite dark to the south and southwest. There is also an orange hue to the light to the southwest, suggesting the setting sun is reflecting off a substantial cloud structure on the horizon.

I'm not very good with cloud types but from clear blue skies most of today to this now.....not even sure it means anything to be fair.

The MetO have updated their warnings, not a great deal has changed, but a slight nudge further North.

Exactly the same over Leicester.... Wind has picked up, random directions though, and cooled down just a tad....
