Reached 30c here just now, didn't expect that today!

Showers sparking off just to the south so fingers crossed for us all! 

Edit: can hear thunder now

Just 28.3C here Thundering to the south.

Well in the absence of radar

There's some interesting cells popped up and new potential cells showing on the radar. Looks like something could hit between Leeds and Bradford in the next 2h.

[bazookabob 522]

Nottingham cell with new development on its West side I reckon. (viewed from East Leeds)

Looks like you're in the firing line for the area developing to the west of the current cell that's heading north, Pit. Not so much of a bust now? ?

Yep, looking on the radar appears to be developing on the western side

Going just to the east of us at the moment. Thunder constant as well.

[Stelmer 128]

I'm keeping my eyes on how the western side of it develops. Though I think i'm too west of it, unless it grows into a monster....

[Harsh Climate 2,751]

Can see the anvil of that storm near sheffield from here, looks a beauty

Wouldn't be surprised if it sparks off more activity to the west of it as it moves northwards, you may get lucky

[Winter Cold 1,544]

It's further north then Nottingham your seeing, it's approaching me now

[Cold Winter 353]

Looks like plenty of lightning around Sheffield area now

I could see it doing that as it moves north.

[The PIT 9,058]

Just passing to the east now. May catch the edge of some rain. Nice increase in wind

Been another scorcher here this afternoon but the anvil on that Nottingham cell is just about to obscure the sun here. Looks a complete beast that thing! 

[The PIT 9,058]

East Sheffield and Rotherham going to enjoy that one. Moving away now.

[bazookabob 522]

Had to edit it to beat the haze but that's a nice anvil looking south and further development on its West side now visible. Am getting increasingly hopeful we may get lucky here but we will see. 

[joggs 1,768]

East and nort east of the region should do well.

[richjb78 37]

Think Barnsley will just miss out on this storm - hopefully more to come.

[The PIT 9,058]

Going to have to water the garden tonight after all.

[summer blizzard 7,034]

Showers are developing even on the west side of the Pennines so I’m hopeful for all although I think Wakefield and York May hit the jackpot today.

Gonna slip to east of Barnsley by the looks. The thunderstorm drought continues ?

I think it should just clip us, maybe a more direct hit if it keeps building to the west

[bazookabob 522]

The Anvil is extraordinary!
