Another lovely day with maximum temperature of 24C and abundant sunshine.  A stiff old breeze again for most of the day but winds now light.

The Met Office automated forecasts have been a joke today alternating between sunshine, intense thunderstorms and now light rain showers for this area tomorrow.  I despair for farmers and the like that need to try and plan their activities based on that kind of forecasting.

Interesting set of thunderstorms just entering the Borders just now, their NNW trajectory at the moment could see us get some rain late in the night....

Just come back in from 30 minutes up the hill behind the cottage... Huge thunderstorm with frequent lightning and a stunning curtain of rain rapidly moving north to my east. Wonderful show. 

Watch out Edinburgh.

Lots of lightning due East of here out to sea just now. Missing here but if it goes North Aberdeenshire May take a hit!

Very sticky and still 21C.

rain just arriving here now, lightning activity dying down a bit still occasional flashes, looks like the cell is splitting with the worst of it heading towards Dunfermline and another cell up towards Arbroath, more developing in the north sea which may affect the likes of Aberdeen and Peterhead in the coming hours, not to mention the further chances tomorrow late afternoon/evening/overnight which will likely be more severe than the storms this evening.

All the heat we've had and when it finally looks like some flash and bang action I'm away from home. 

Decent day on Mull, breezy but largely sunny and warm in the sun. Crossing over from Ardnamurchan to Tobermory was a little bumpy in a flat bottomed, flat fronted ferry.

Rain just started here and lightning towards the east, pretty far away though going by the time it takes to hear the thunder.

Where's my storm 

I think it may be passing mostly out to sea although there is almost a continuous low level rumble of thunder here now and the occasional bright flash.

Not a bad storm in the end.  Seems to have passed now but lightning every few seconds.

Two entertaining storms in the last hour, short but intense with enough lightning to amuse the kids.

Just very humid here no storms .Man and beast will welcome the cooler weather at the weekend but the timing of this is not good for our local show at Nairn tomorrow although the latest forecast has a dryer early morning. Currently blue skies  and  18c
