I think it'll be another miss for the south-west, we've had no thunder this year.

Where about are you ? The south west definately has had storms this year

[Robbie Garrett]

Mid-Level Convection North of LGW (Gatwick) (South Downs being the initiation).

Look at the growth in 10 minutes.

Yes about 3 cells forming.  Very explosive formation. 

 

[Bishop Brennan]

I can already see towers building in the distance to both the SE and SSW of my location.

Currently 32.9°C, nearly 4°C hotter than the same time yesterday when we eventually chalked up a high of 33.0°C

Already hotter than yesterday and a smidge above what was forecast , it’s roasting and large load building directly too my south

I thought it was the COS - Cone of Silence?

You're right enough, Vestan: the Cone of Silence is @Paul Sherman's creation: a land that thunderstorms forgot!

The Triangle of Doom is one of mine, however, going way back to 2013, when incoming heavy snow would vanish, just east of Bury St Edmunds (sp?) and then reappear somewhere out in the North Sea. Now though, thunderstorms do that too!

Storms ahoy.

Hearing rumbles from that cluster in Cardigan Bay.

[Justin1705]

Absolutely amZin explosion, looks literally like a nuke!!! Proper tower im in luton RN seems to be the sweet spot 

[Osca31]

Towers starting to build here.

[thunderhead 2005]

Seems to be in-line with Arome 06z, storms initiating in london moving N-NW

[oliverek7]

I’m glad I can at least get to see the storms forming as they move away from me  

[UKSupercell]

EXPLOSIVE CONVECTION all around me in S Bucks now. Towers to E and N especially.

The predicted Arome Chart isn't 100% accurate at 2pm it shows storms in NW Wales but there is nothing

I can hear rumbles to the south now! (NW Wales)

[Fiona Robertson]

Looks like things happening northeast of Kendal, west of Tebay near M6.

[SqueakheartLW]

We have liftoff just to the south of London
