Well it’s either going to ignite or it’s going to to Fizzle out into nothingness lol will keep an eye on the radar. Most of the precip charts don’t think much will happen But we shall see

arome 12z looks okish for me, 00z wouldve been much much better or the 06z as they were both closer and in thunder range, im just assuming i should at least see something from here.

 

hope the storms play ball and ideally go a lil bit more south.

A shower is half an hour away. Let’s see if it actually reaches the ground this time if it survives.

What’s with the seemingly constant competition as to who can call any convective event a ‘bust’ the soonest? Gets quite tiring to be honest.

 

With the majority of instability being non-surface-based, there is no reason to start calling today a ‘bust’ anytime soon. Storms can still initiate all through this evening and overnight so there is really no need for the constant comments about this being a non-event etc...

Some nice towers when heading home around 1pm, all cloud now & the temp has dropped alot. Looks like rain will hit soon but that is it for down here.

Absolute beast of a storm cloud over us chucking out some rumbles but nothing significant yet.

It’s going to come very close here - much bigger cloud than I was expecting to see - can’t get it in the whole shot

An interesting cell approaching Devizes now. Not electrified yet but has a white core on the radar.

Not sure what's causing the general cloud / light rain in this area but it's inhibiting what could otherwise be a great convective opportunity, especially after such a warm and sunny afternoon.

Thunder is really quite frequent!! Stunning cloud formations too!

edit - it’s continually thundering here now.
