Netweather lightning detector isn't real time; I'm using Blitzortung.

Getting turkey towers in the distance to my west in Norwich.

Thunder would be a bonus - I'd just like some rain please ☺️

The petrichor is going to be epic when it finally does rain

Just saw the clouds looking South and something is defiantly brewing here. Very hot and muggy

Looking at the radar if we can get some more development then we get a nice line of showers near the M1. Some beefy ones in the Nottingham area.

Looks like we're in with a chance overnight in NE Scotland.

Being near the South Coast, I'm watching the Channel as always.

A beefy but localised heavy shower and lightning showing up in NW France, headed N-NE into the Channel.

False start over the midlands but things really beginning to crackle towards the English Channel.

Was thinking of heading out towards Chorleywood on way out of town, perhaps ending up back towards Richmond Hill to see storms pass up and over - then hopefully a chance to see them drift northeastwards towards the North Sea just a short distance away near Kew Gardens.

Reminds me a little of the storms back in 2015 (I think) - when Poole got that monster cell which moved up over central areas towards the wash. That was an AMAZING storm.

Could be a long night though

Radar watching is the way to go now...

Good luck everyone!

nothing here so far, and not looking remotely likely, everything to our north would be about right, lol

 

If you don't get a direct hit tonight I'm sure you'll see some elevated lightning displays, the hazy skies this morning didn't loo promising but it's changed a fair bit this afternoon here

Showers in the East Midlands look to be merging a bit. Also formation near Peterborugh.

As it stands, the first batch is due to hit West of the IOW, with us getting it in the early hours if we're lucky. But I'm willing that rain Eastwards.
I just tried to do half an hours work in the garden but the heat drove me back indoors, it's unbearable.

 29.2°C. Clouded over completely here. Think something is trying to develop. Have a strange instinct that something is going to happen tonight.
