[Frosty_wsm]

Just boring old rain here and looking at the radar unless there's more development to the south east of here then the wait for a storm to finally hit this area continues.

Cardiff Wiltshire and me in Gloucestershire look to be getting a bath. 

[fromey]

Suns out here now, hopefully it will aid a little convection

Bits and pieces jy, but nothing heavy. It all seemed to fizzle out here then pick up North of Salisbury. Still, we get a bonus evening in the garden now.

OH is having lunch at the Yew Tree tomorrow... She was up at the Radnor Arms for lunch today. Life of flippin' Reilly.

In the gap here, been pretty boring weather wise here for about a week or so now, not really seen the sun much. 

[Jayfromcardiff]

Anyone seen any lightning yet? Nothing here but rain.

[matt111]

Been in the gap for pretty much the same period, down here on the coast..

This is just going to be another non-event.

[CheesepuffScott]

Everything we've been supposed to get here has just not happened. Sad.

Well with the Met having ramped it up issuing an Amber warning, so I certainly hope it won’t be now. It’s a long time between now and when the warning is due to expire at 6am for things to get interesting. Stay safe everyone.

[Leon1]

Hopefully, my fellow Bathonian!  Sorry

When Karlos turns up, we'll know we're in business.

He’s on holiday!! Lucky devil!

It's been the best day of the week by a country mile! Plenty of sunshine and warm/humid. In between the sunny times there was a half hour deluge that gave 16mm!!

[Evening thunder]

Had a bit of light rain here this afternoon, but otherwise just misty low cloud clearing to flat mid level cloud this afternoon, brief sunshine about 4pm when the temp rose to 19.7c

Onshore wind so definitely no surface based storms expected here. The Met Office could have used the ECM 00z output in deciding to extend the amber warning to cover my area, otherwise I've seen little sign of any intense rain (let alone 'severe thunderstorms') here, including on their own map and location forecast.

I don't think it's happening. I think the MetO ramped this one too much!

[Frosty hollows]

I'm close to that line of showers stretching from Reading to Oxford. Torrential rain 2 miles away but dry as a bone here.  Couple of booms of thunder

I got really excited when i noticed the warning 

[Frosty hollows]

Met office has me down as 70% chance of storms tonight. We shall see. So far they've all shifted to the west of me by a couple of miles!!

[EllyTech]

Tipping down with rain here. 

Temp 17C  Humidity 93%  Dewpoint 16C
