Evening all.

just watching satellite images on a large cell over France looks to have our name on it, done bit of a painting job looks to be moving N/NNW 

anybody have any other thoughts on this

fromey 

It's a tough call! As the storm moves out of France and towards the UK, I would expect it to curve to the west, but there are other factors at play for tonight's storms, what's coming up from France is not the main focus for tonight.

Hopefully Estofex will have a forecast out at some point, and also one from Net weather.

Lovely sky above at the moment.

 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I see tiny turrets.

Edit: then I see them collapse

[Southern Storm]

I'm keeping an eye on some clouds to my south, could this be the start?

As Cas is forming over the channel, look for destabilisation in the mid channel in the next two hours, I don’t the large storm currently in north central France something to focus on currently.

Right on queue the atmosphere just of Poole bay is starting to destabilise, I expect the first lightning strikes to be within 20miles of bournemout within an hour!

Storm clouds developing in Bournemouth now. Clearly see destabilising accuring.

[Zephyr]

Sky has been grey all day here no signs of the sun hoping we get a storm though 

[mike5900]

[DanDorsetUK]

Bournemouth now.

[Southern Storm]

Feels like it could go bang any second!

lightning near south coast of dorset.

[Ciderwithrosie]

Very sticky and muggy here in Somerset , but lots of milky skies and we've had lovely sunshine. Breezy now . 

[fromey]

Lighting detected on the south coast as said above but look at that over France, it’s massive, as much as I love storms I don’t fancy a direct hit from that!!!

I'm in Westbury at the moment, some perfect towers growing over Salisbury Plain (the only clouds visible anywhere) so I would expect some cells to pop up over Wiltshire soon.

[Barbel]

Reminds me of when I lived in Queensland, having a cold beer barefoot, warm patio stones and storm rumbling out to sea. Radar in N.France looks epic.

It seems to be a similar set up to what happened in june i think 2012 . i was visiting friends in Canada and watched it develope on the internet ,pretty sure we flew back following day .i,m pretty sure there will be some good action tonight but Hit and miss ,best of luck to all ,Mind the metal spoons and forks ,and keep away from the chimney etc etc ,all great fun for those who love it ,yes i can see some good towers going up to my far south east ,cheers Legritter west mendip ,

i don't know what's going on with the Storm over Sidmouth but it sounds like an artillery barrage.

Drizzle in weymouth!

[Ciderwithrosie]

Looks like Exeter is getting a bashing too !  But that band is moving West I believe . I see the met office has changed the rain symbols again for my area so I think we will be dry .
