North East...⛈

Hopefully the flood risk does not become reality.

Seen that! I am stuck in the house waiting on a furniture delivery.  (I would be up on the local hill otherwise)

Ten minute walk up some stairs behind here would give me a clear view - so frustrating!

Current view below.

Also looks decent out West to Dunoon - should be getting that soon enough.

Story of the day so far for me...watching the convection build and then it moves off just to the North East (Loch Lomond) and explodes with thunder/lightning! (Half an hour ago)

I know someone who works at the CalMac ferries head office a 15 minutes walk from my house - so asked her to go outside and take some pictures looking over to Helensburgh/Lomond hills!

Looks amazing!

@howham - I'm over near Fyvie today, inevitably bone dry. Until I opened this tab and started to write this dung, the sky's opened now.

Excuse me, I didn't write dung. I wrote oh wait not the never mind

Send the triangle over here and I"ll send you the thundery showers even lost the electricity for a few seconds this afternoon. Vainly searching for a couple of dry days in a row to complete second cut silage.

1 torrential downpour and some heavy rain for about the last hour. Chances of storms look low now, but potentially something forming near the M77 and heading this way from a quick look on the radar. 

Ayrshire seems to have had yet another wet day with reports of flooding on the A71 from the most recent batch of heavy showers.

Anyone use Radar extra on here? Would you recommend it? @Paul

I have always used WeatherPro which is fine for live radar during all seasons.

However...can’t zoom in and getting the most recent lightning I need to wait twenty five minutes after it happens! Seriously think it’s time to give something else a try.

I have used it lots in the past and it is great I use the free radar ATM, will look into getting the full package for the upcoming winter

Heavy rain on here again.

Cheers @Kirkcaldy Weather and @Hairy Celt - will more than likely sign up for it.

Some day again here for convection all around me but wish I had been a bit further North East! 

Not one drop of rain until after 7pm! 

Tomorrow looks decent once again - hopefully see something but looks as though it will be more inland.

Some other pictures from earlier and a nice sky to end the day.

I will be very sad when all the warm and convective Summer weather ends...not long until Winter though. ⛄

I hear Keith and Fraserburgh have been hit by storms and torrential rain but I can't find any evidence online yet. The radar has suggested they were getting hammered. Looks like Elgin flooded too.

I have used the radar extra in the past and liked it. I now use the free nw storm radar which is fine too just doesn't have the bells and whistles, like ppn type, zooming in more, ppn accumulation and being able to go back further in time, Dr Who-esque.
