aha you and me both, gonna be so tired after tomorrow. Just hope it'll be worth it. Fingers crossed it wont fizzle out

[StormLoser]

I'm in Reigate near Gatwick. I'm really hoping for some rain tomorrow which, if it happens, will be the first since 7 June!

We've almost got to the point of tumbleweed blowing past. It won't be long before the local pub puts in swing doors and a honkytonk piano to go with the dusty Arizona-like landscape.

Let's hope we get some action down here!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

That cell going a bit nuts already

Moments away from it sparking up methinks...

[Robert Lewis]

oh wow that's literally a few miles south of me, can't see anything of note here, but accuweather updated to say thunderstorms in the area. 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I’m in the spare room - window open and west-facing. Can hear a pin drop outside

(must be the pinmen )

Cell maybe firing up in between Leicester and  Peterborough of which might have your interest?

[Robert Lewis]

[StormLoser]

Estofex also issues a level 1 for the rest of us in the east. Like my area! Interesting....!

Just noticed it, might be a little too far West atm though

[Robert Lewis]

where is the source for this reading action?

[Jordan S]

For most I think it’s best to rest so your fully awake for what looks like a much better chance of seeing thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon!  

[Robert Lewis]

Looks like it passed right over without dropping any rain on us at all. Should be north of here by now.

[Allseasons-Si]

[Robert Lewis]

Well these rapid builds up keep starting around here but not even a drop of rain let alone more.
