Hey all - just about to take off from Bergamo Italy, into Bristol at 8.15pm. I stopped my trip 2 days early so I didn't miss a thundery UK heatwave, but hate flying at the best of times so please all pray that Bristol stays clear until after 8.15 PM- if it doesn't, startup a RIP about Sam page (purple swimming award, good to animals, moderately fast cyclist). 

 

Good luck all! 

funny that's where i expect storms to be popping off around that time today

Choicely Services, on the M4. Stopped for a breather but heading as far as Swindon then having a mint tea or a pint and taking stock of Synoptics before deciding on the next move.

It is INCREDIBLY hot here. 32 maybe 33°?

Just being in the rays of the Sun is baking.

So the channel’s gone quiet but then again I was suspicious about things kicking off so early. Just shows how powerful and discrete some of these early storms could be tonight, also quite slow moving compared to what some of the forecasts are saying.

OK too hot. Gonna keep moving...

Yep, strong Cap in place, when they go they’ll go big time from bases of 6-8k feet to 45k feet in 15-20mins...boom!

Big spots of rain here in Gloucester, really hoping we get something of note later on!

Got a feeling I may need to head slightly West, thinking of finding a SW facing vantage point somewhere in the Peak District and waiting for whatever shows up. Good look everyone

looks like you're in a good spot. simulated IR from AROME has storms initiated just before midnight along the south cost heading north along the A34 and around convergence in the bristol channel.

Local forecast has put things back into the early morning which is more likely.

Is Lincoln looking good for tonight. Is it worth staying up?

That's what I'm doing. Got a nice W to SW facing road near High Bradfield just a short drive away after consulting Google Maps. Hoping for some proper nighttime lightning later!

It's barely moving that system! Just growing and growing

I can't see it tracking due north though. It'll have too much of an eastward movement in my opinion.

could be using the energy of the plume and trace along the same track as the plume, it was originally moving east but then as it got closer to the main MCS it started to turn west, i dont know, its a long shot but it may reach us,,, Only time will tell

Oh dear, that is funny. At least they must have high confidence in the storms.

Latest Euro4 creates a mass of thunderstorms which starts in the SW and then erupts into a countrywide system across the Midlands north.

I hate this waiting game, the first couple of cells fire, die and then there’s a lull......

Still very early days...

I think we could be in for a shot, showing storms around 1am onwards, might see some elevated lightning from distant storms. Don't think we'll get the worst of it though

does anyone else think the storm that i circled could head this way with enough strength from the main storm to pull it towards it>

I'm very much liking the Met Office Tuesday evening forecast ;) 

Hmmm I’m really not, usually too far west, look like being piggy in the middle tonight and being too far west......

No, the steering flow will take it north and north east.
