Looks to me as though the whole lot is beginning to go.. Cells popping up everywhere 

[mulzy]

Winds picked up here in SW London.  Might get a glancing blow from the Southampton storm.

Actually going to keep an eye out very soon for distant flashes! This thing is intensifying as its moving NNE. Note, some real rapid potent developments once more over the Channel Islands/Cherbourg and a corker over Lyme bay heading up towards Dorset! 

This is more like it folks!! 

Hmmm is that cluster heading for E Mids/ E Anglia?

[robillustrates]

I'm in Woodley and Lightning mapper has this one just South of Twyford, just had another as we speak.

How things change in just a minute, that cell over Hants/Surrey is now spurting out lightning and is steady increasing

Gutting, as just a few hours ago I was in Basingstoke and surrounding area ! 

 

21 C here , pale blue sky, humid stinking headache , but will have to wait and see if the Torquay / Cornwall cell develops or reaches me .

Could you please put your location in your profile, it helps when trying to track weather events. Cheers.

Frequent pink IC lightning and torrential rain here. The rain is just about starting to ease.

Wondering if that main blob will touch me. dark enough here to turn the light on now.

fingers crossed

Next area of Interest is the line stretching from South of London to West of Brighton, this line should go bang east of the MCS

The front edge seems to be losing momentum, you might be right. 

It's just about getting as far as me and petering out. I have warm drizzle!

Thats what I like to hear!! 

[convector]

That MCS is really wrapping up now, with main ppn bowing north - it's teasing me! Tempted to chase but i feel like it'll suddenly change course again.

That's what tentatively hoping for Mr B - has the vague resemblance of a sort of outflow boundary. Staying firm though at the moment 

[Paul Sherman]

Somehwere along the M11 looks good for darkness and lightning tonight, will be heading that way for sure!

Hold on to your butts.
