Temperatures have reached 32-33C in and around London, a cumulus field is starting to bubble just south of London over Surrey and northern parts of E / W Sussex. Convergence evident in surface observations too. Let the attempts to try and punch through the cap commence...

So far the met office forecast for here has been bang on. No storms and still saying the same for the rest of the week.

The UKV is much more interesting for parts of the south on Thursday. It also still shows the overnight storms crossing the channel tomorrow night but the latest run shows them dying out just before they reach the south coast, that could all change of course.

Do not rely on TV based weather apps or forecasts when it comes to showers or storms full stop !!! Damn why do people even use them on here still  

Back to topic, I still have the suspicion elevated storms will be firing up from a line between West East Anglia & NW England later today. Although atmospherically it doesn't seem as primed today albeit the cape is good, not all the ingredients are in line. Hoping with pressure lowering slightly over the coming days this will be helping things along somewhat. Had some light showers earlier from this mornings activity near Cambridge but it quickly fizzled out into nothing.

The storms nearly making it but dying out sounds like the most accurate likelihood for tomorrow. We have about 4 similar ‘events’ from earlier in the year to support this. The only question is which anomaly is responsible for the bust.

As much as there’s about 4 days of southern storms on the cards I think this will be isolated and “some areas will miss out completely”. Very unlikely we will get the prolific storms that many are expecting.

Yes I was watching the one in late June from the clifftop. Got down there only to see a few distant flashes and that was it.

Would love to see a repeat of the 2019 24th July plume, the whole of the country got action overnight!

Kind of looks like Anaprop (false returns), but Satellite does have a white blob in that area, so there's a good chance it's legit. Next radar frame will confirm!

Rather sharp shower east of Chelmsford 

How far east? I am about 2 miles northeast of Chelmo and have seen nought. Been sunny most of the morning.

Surly that's too big for an Anaprop, they are normally only a couple of pixel's in size, it's also moved slightly northwards between the 2 frames it is on. 

EDIT: Definitely moving, may just clip Weymouth, so here's a cam of the beach there, should see it pass by at the very least.

Yep, it's legitimate precip. It was just the way it appeared out of nowhere without showing light rain at least first that screamed anaprop for one frame.

All the forecasts are showing a much less stormy week than the what had been built up on this website and social media outlets. 
 

Strike out for the vast majority of the country yesterday, poor elevated scattered storms around today. It’s ripe out there. I was honestly expecting a memorable week, with most of us taking a hammering, repeated bands of heavy storms.

Reality is, there 3/4 main potential days this week, arguably a main 3. We are half way through the second day and so far it’s been hideously disappointing.

Storms are the only thing that makes this vile sticky heat acceptable. For right now, bring on the Atlantic.
