Thought the same when I saw this one earlier. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/15388541.Hampshire_could_see_lightning_and_hailstorms_as_Met_Office_issues_weather_warning/

Always end up with nothing when they post a story about it, not to mention the fact they often exaggerate it.

Latest 10 day forecast showing 38mm rain for Newbury in a 3 hour period on Thursday. Never seen a forecast of that much in 3 hours since the start of the Internet age. 

Somewhere in the 'sweet spot' will get a deluge on Thursday. Doubt it will be Newbury, but you never know.

see above ^^^

Cracking morning with some bits and bpbs of cloud. Temp 13C and a zephyr from the ENE.

Showed up on the radar but didn't do anything in Poole or Bomo..

[MP-R]

Gorgeous day so far, a warmer version of Sunday's sunshine. 23C now so 26-27C should be achievable this afternoon.

If we miss out on storms this time, I'll happily take this!

[matt111]

Sunny and warm with just a light breeze. 22.8°C. 

[Lyn-M]

Just tipped 27°C here this afternoon, a bit of fair weather cumulus and cirrus about an hour ago, all now dissipated.

[Joneseye]

2+ inches of rain in an hour!

Blimey O'Reilly! I feel an early start is in the offering for tomorrow morning!

 

 

[knocker]

Are we looking down the M4 corridor. or there abouts, tomorrow and a liitle south as the system tracks east?

[MP-R]

Looking good here. Plenty of altocumulus grimsleyus.

Ah the M4 corridor - the line for potential snow and T storms!

Yes there has been plenty of promising looking clouds this evening for possible thunder later.

Problem is it doesn't mean that your area will get it.

[Nights King]

Looking at forecast I don't see much in the way of storms for west country 

[Ciderwithrosie]

I can't see it happening either too far west . 

Beautiful day , warm and sunny. 

[Mapantz]

Maxed out at 26.9°C today - not bad!

[wimblettben]

Less clouds around here now and they are less unstable looking as well.

Hopes are not very high for thunder at the moment but maybe I am being a bit pedantic.
