From what I've read on various forecasts the parameters for the storms to break out haven't arrived here yet so no panic YET 

The met office video I saw this morning had storms hitting us along with the north west about now

Are you following radar or this thread?  There's a cluster of active storms heading your way.

I know, but what about the rest of the country?

Well here is something of interest.  It was literally just issued.   TOPS of FL420, that's pretty much on par with some of the stuff experienced in Central Africa and the Gulf.  Incredible!

I'm feeling a bit edgy if honest- this area was level 2 on estofex so i will keep the faith, for now.

[ChannelThunder]

Really hoping we can be jammy enough to get something in Hampshire tonight. 

[Sun & Tanned]

Yes.  FL = Flight Level on a standard pressure of 1013hPa.  So roughly 42,000ft or about 8miles.

[LionKingGamer]

The Channel Cluster looks like its stalling a bit ill be honest

Yeah I saw that but they have changed now and to be honest this is a now cast situation, think we will be very unlucky not to see anything

Wow that is impressive, thank you for your knowledge I learned something new today.

[Robert Lewis]

I can't wait it for it to rain, approx 5 mins away but even if that passes plenty more heading up this way.

[Azazel]

Has the northern storm split?

I changed my mind, convective imitation seems to have started in the North West!
