Sat 24 deffo shows that all that in channel is growing and will make it across. CLOUD TOPS are higher and there seems to be some vreaks in the cloud ahead of it, giving some surface heating. Could be a good day today for us folks

Is this Accurate

Ill leave that for the other guys to decide(there always right) but its my viewpoint on whats going to happen today. Anywhere ahead of the feature in the channel in the red circle has the chance of seeing something SB and once that elevated mess moves thru same risk area again. Id say its fairly accurate but its my own viewpoint so Dont count me on it it.

Seems accurate to me, theres some blue sky in the first time in what feels like forever. And some convective skys around its. 15-30% chance today id say up from 1%-5% chance yday

Not aloud to use that word no but it does seems Cells are forming V quickly. And strikes are frequent.

I think we’re loosing it

Seems that whatever is pushing into S england is pushing all the low cloud away with its, just like i said this morning. SB convection going up all around, only downside its a walking sauna again in the sun with humidity. Hope this puts a smile on peoples faces and confidence they dont have to being out the b word just yet !!

This cloud is not showing any sign of shifting here, showers more likely at the moment, very slim chance of any activity above. Temp only 17.8C. Cricket is also a total washout.

Who ever said earlier that they don't make it to the mainland needs to stop trying to be an expert. Just spotted two make landfall.

Thunder heard in Worthing, just the second rumble I’ve heard here all year, the other being in April.

Grey and overcast here currently. Hopefully all of this murk breaks up and allows some surface-based convection to develop.
