Do you know how NW London will fare?

[Windblade]

Well, I'm going to get some food and keep an eye on the skies to the south east. Harry, nice talking to you again. Good luck everyone.

There is so much storm food here that’s getting wasted.

Well I'm sat on Southend seafront at the moment and what a change in the last hour or so. The wind has got up and is now blowing strongly from the SE, the waves are up and dark clouds loom ominously over North Kent. The Isle of Sheppey is slowly disappearing from view and lightning strikes abound. Just waiting for the storm to hit. 

Out to the west it's as bright as anything!

This may sound a bit odd and maybe my imagination, but does that storm have a look of a Rampant Rabbit?

This says more about your mind than about the weather. Don’t worry of you aren’t under storms at the moment everyone ...the atmosphere is primed and it could go bang at anytime anywhere this evening

[Thunderstruck]

Wind suddenly increasing and possibly just heard a very distant rumble

[Sentinel]

Getting up to gale force on Southend seafront now!

Storm noob here, that's the bottom of a cell right?

They often call it the screaming eagle in the US. Sign of a supercell 

Well, That's a better name than Rampant Rabbit

[Harry]

Yay rumble of thunder here!!!! Lightning is progressively getting nearer so hopefully will come over soon 

[SkyDreamer]

Wow. So many towers going up to the SE of London.

Also it looks like a massive cluster of storms or even an MCS is moving in from Northern France.

[Josh Rubio]

I assume there's no chance of the spine of the country in seeing any action tonight? Everything is either to the east of west of us.

[sparky1972]

nothing forecast storm wise for here tonight or tomorrow, but i have a feeling whoever sees storms tonight are going to get one heck of a show, ok, change that, distant rumbles of thunder, think we will miss it but nice to hear things are begining to kick off

Do you think the cold front could worsen the conditions even more and make the Storm in the Channel even more severe

Storms could develop over Wales central UK from the cold from. The cold front is rather slow but I can see some effects happening as I type. As for worsening conditions even more in the South East..no. 

[CCJD1983]

@James175 They're mammatus clouds by the looks. And usually are seen after a storm, but can be also can be seen under an anvil/storm cloud!

Is the shape of the storms currently near Edinburgh reflective of the horseshoe-shaped trough over France earlier today?

A few rogue strikes appearing all over the uk west of the main action, we live in hope

[James175]

Is that what I think it is?
