Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards

[Norfolk Sheep]

Only 23C here, positively chilly 

On a more serious note, NW has zero chance of storms and/or rain for my area for the whole week. Dreadful.

if the Midlands get into the low 30s then storms should ignite 

We're at about 22C'ish' at the moment, about 2C below what we had on Friday (our hottest day) where the temps got up to about 32C'ish'. The high level muck is beginning to burn off rapidly now (looks alot thinner that the stuff from yesterday) Temps are also beginning to rise fast, so fingers crossed.

Unfortunately looks like the storms in Devon and Cornwall are jus going to miss Swansea if they continue to travel the same way, a shame for us.

 

[DIS1970]

Not even touched 19C here yet, and still fairly cloudy - going to be a watch and wait theme.

[T4Toby]

I completely take back what I said it look like it may just clip the west side of Swansea

Looking east towards the Start Bay storm. Beautiful sky this morning.

[Frosty hollows]

Hearing thunder again in Torquay from some strikes south of Dartmouth.

[Jamie M]

[Mapantz]

Training going on just south of Paignton, going to be some large rain totals.

Any chance of anything reaching south Lincolnshire today. Temperature all ready at 24 and rising bright sun shine here as well

Very little. You can basically draw a line from Dorset to NE England today and say that nowhere east of it stands much of a chance. Technically there is a chance but it's so small in any one location.

[weirpig]

Really down to radar watching   however  Icon  concentrates any thundry showers   For the west midlands  wales and the north west   similar to its previous run.

[AnvilCrawlers]

Although I got temps forecast to hit 29-31 I fear I'm to far S/E for anything storms to break out,I think it more N/W of here tbh 

[T4Toby]

There are rumbles in the jungle

[Dreckly]

[T4Toby]

But it looks like the storms are breaking down in the Bristol Channel
