Thought that shower near Poole was looking decent and was heading towards me but it seems to be dying already.

Saying that it looks like it's intensified again and back built so could still end up being a decent shower at least.

Looks like something nasty heading this way right now.  It's between Crewkerne and Yeovil at the moment and looks to have our name in it!

 

ETA....just heard first rumble of thunder and see lightning shown to west.

Still looking blackout the back and the sun shining intensely to the side .... can't decide whether it will pour down or fade . My headache has intensified .. not that it is a reliable  indicator .

I was just watching that build on the radar. Took it about 10 minutes.

Raining heavily now and with lots of thunder, not actually seen the lightning yet, but will keep watch!

It was looking interesting for here to begin with. It now looks to be staying North of here for the foreseeable.

If I have read the radar correctly then  maybe more heavy showers are on the way. The sky would seem to suggest that, but then who knows . 

Dark grey sky, clouds towering but the sun still peeking through feeding the intensity of the humidity. ...

Sky looks fantastic S/SE/SW of here while overhead it's beautiful and me and the boy are playing outside. Just had our first grass eating occurrence lol.

Looks like you could if that small one quite a way to the west of you keeps growing. Looks like you've already had a few decent ones.

So you're in the dead zone too. Even the only shower in this area has almost died.  :nonono:

You're due west of us Lyn. This is looking your way now.

It'll fizzle out to just rain before it gets here, but it's nice to see from a distance.

Just been down to the brewery at Downton for a weekend take out and everything is soaked down there. Not a drop so far here, a mile and a bit North.

The energy seems to be shifting south now. Due west isn't looking as threatening, but this is to the South West.

I think Somerset has bagged it ! No thunder, but boy oh boy the heavens have opened and showing little sign of easing . 

I feel quite greedy  when others could do with a lot more .

Looks like Cranborne will be getting damp from this lot, while we're in the sunshine.

That would be the one that died before getting anywhere near here earlier. :wallbash:
