Now very hot and windy at 27c grass and neeps wilting. Notice buddlias in garden flowering profusely another example  of plant growth stages being a month ahead. Spring barley only 10 to 14 days away from harvest.Worldwide grain prices still rising almost on a daily basis ,poor old politicians are going to have an interesting autumn.

All the talk on the model thread is all about the south east of England’s heatwave and both Sky and BBC are hyping it up large.I’m sick of it and if conditions were reversed (Scotland only heatwave) the priority would still be the English weather,on the model thread and the media outlets.Some say that in a winter set up (where Scotland always scores better than English locations regarding snow fall,lying snow and temperature) then the model thread attention would swing to Scotland...I beg to differ as has happened in the past,” Can we please keep local weather or IMBY isms in the regional threads”

There's a chance of the all-time UK July record being broken today so I don't think it's unreasonable - this time - that the media are focussing on it. It's also been dry and very warm generally across Scotland - your own forecast shows 27C for today, which counts as heatwave conditions!

So in other words,what would qualify as ‘IMBY’ and ‘off topic’ comments are ok if there is a record about to fall? Trust me on this,it’s all about London and the south east.

Going by the talk on fb and my forums, re sleepless nights and fainting at work and sitting in red hot trains etc, London and SE can keep it!

Looks like Aberdeen is being clobbered at the moment though nothing to be heard here in terms of thunder (in fact lovely and sunny!).

Another warm and muggy day (24C max) with quite a stiff cooling breeze.  Generally sunny but you could see it was much cloudier towards the east all day.

We're just missing the worst of it... so far. But audible thunder. Very oppressive.   

Edit: thunder much more frequent now. It's here!

Storm still with us, but thunder has dissipated. But getting spells of torrential rain, like turning on/off a shower!

Power shower!

This has the makings of a interesting evening and night ahead going by the latest radar - look at those storms in Eastern England.

Beautiful sky here a few minutes ago, blue skies to the west and dark black ominous clouds to the east.  Started to rain and end result a rainbow much to the delight of the kids, though that has disappeared now as its clouding over (these storms definitely have a westward drift on them).

Looks like very heavy (non thundery) rain in western areas now maybe touching glasgow soon. Meanwhile here in the central belt it's still dry but for how long

Showers staying offshore here just as last night. A few large spots of rain aside it has been dry.  Hoping for either a storm later this evening or clear skies for a view the Moon eclipse and Mars at its nearest to Earth for 15 years. Unfortunately we might be in an inbetweenie bit with cloud and no lightning.

Nice one, I saw something similar here but didn't have as good a vantage point. Some Pretty torrential rain at times here.

Been a few distant flashes of lightning here, looking SW.

Was some pretty heavy rain also for the best part of an hour.

Edit: Looking on the radar it looks to be going SE>NW which means the city is missing most of it, but Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Argyll are taking a battering.

Plenty of flashes in the distance around Motherwell, very dark looking skies but everything seems to be skirting round the edge of NL at the moment.
