South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 21/05/2018 Onwards

Lovely cloudless sky this afternoon, very warm indeed, it has since "bubbled up" quite dramatically, with some towers evident, I think it's only a matter of time before something happens, after a blank yesterday a decent storm or two would be most welcome!!!

Hi from Cheltenham also shame the storms arent just that little bit further south.

Hi Twister.. you can feel it in the air though? Its not over yet.

[twister2005]

It does feel that something is brewing and can see clouds starting to build. Have got everything crossed !!

[mike5900]

heavy showers. or storms north London.

[Dorsetbred]

A warm 24.8°C at: 14:02  once the sun had broken through the mid layer cloud, quite pleasant with a feeling that the overall oppressiveness from yesterday had eased.

[Mapantz]

Still 23C now. Farting about with my pond filter - sweating a lot!

Aside from the storm cluster in the East of England/Midlands right now, we have ourselves a tiny little discreet cell just West of Stroud, Gloucestershire, making its way North. Either that, or its a swarm of Aphids and farmer Ants destined for my Tomatoes lol.

Instead of moving further North or NW, those Milton Keynes area storms are back building Southward. They also look to be slightly expanding laterally, West and East. Plenty of hail cores, multiclustered by the look - MCS.

Amazing light show way in the distance from that storm near Wycombe. I'm surprised I can see it.

[Mapantz]

View from Weymouth, towards the north east. Don’t worry, it’s lightning!
