A few rumbles and flashes here but nothing special for round 1.  Hopefully more later.

Radar looks juicy to the south for you.

Just took this to my SW,towers going up

just needs to go bang now.

[GoldenJackel]

Just sitting in my garden hearing the distant rumbles! Hopefully keeps heading this way.

Hoping they make it rather than drifting out to sea.

[Allseasons-Si]

Just look at that bad boy in NE Scotland.

[Pat Butcher]

Some beautiful nastiness brewing in Leeds. Doesn’t look like it’ll kick off here, but congratulations to whoever’s on the receiving end of this one.

A webcam for the storms to hit Aberdeen, not the best though because it updates every 15 seconds

Edit: Some more too.

Yes, and the thunder is getting much more constant now.

I was just about to post the same thing. Things are picking up quite rapidly with thunder and lightning now.

[Richard Taylor]

Rain now quite heavy - rumbles every two-three seconds, but very little lightning although the Harbour Cam picked up an apparent CG.

i may have mentioned something about Scotland getting some storms today, earlier. A friggin MCS for north-east Scotland

Met Office yellow warnings, and bizarre stuff about 'lightning' rather than 'storms'

[TJS1998Tom]

Got some clouds bubbling in the background  for the North I'm guessing, must be with the high cape levels

Looking at the radar it seems Edinburgh has had at least 4 separate thunderstorms pass over/next to this afternoon. Impressive stuff!

Perth also has had at least 4.

[Richard Taylor]

Looks like this one in Aberdeen is clearing now. Rain all but off & someone switched the thunder off!

[Allseasons-Si]

Stoke on Trent looks to have some heavier ppn on the latest radar returns.

It's past you that quickly that's why,another one incoming from Edinburgh though.

Its so dark here the street lights are on, at 6.30 on the 1st July !

Storms are very fast moving though, unlike Mondays, only seem to last 5 minutes but heave heard rumbling thunder for a while now

[Richard Taylor]

It is still pretty dark here right enough.

[Zak M]

I wasn't able to see any CG's from the Aberdeen cam although there was a change in lighting every two frames. Perhaps that was lightning?

Most of lightning looked to be cloud to cloud.

[Allseasons-Si]

Some interest in the clouds here right now inc some jellyfish.

Tomorrow? Where?

Tricky to forecast tomorrow at the moment. Chance of surface based convection from north midlands northwards with storm potential greatest in Scotland.  Modelling currently shows limited cloud tops, but that does depend on upper level temperatures being estimated correctly from satellite imagery. If upper levels are just a bit cooler then you will get thunderstorms in the north. Triggering is likely to be occluded fronts by the looks of it.

 

[JonGill]

Looking at the radar images, those storms in eastern Scotland were/are moving extremely fast, 50 mph or more..
