lol,i dont know what ways are where here ,summed up sea to my south ,anywhere else must be north ,then village ,little towns ,i might as well be in north somerset ,but with that,the sea is to north ,not south ,its a 'Battle' to work out lol,and its the only view i had really tbh :-}

Nicely punned! At least galley hill has a 360 sky view, but it’s a 10min run back to get indoors when it belts it down. Do you think we’re going to get a ticking off for being off topic?

even on a day where 90% of the country are seeing storms somehow, SOMEHOW, we STILL avoid them. we must literally be the unluckiest town in the country. We have had 14 storm warnings this summer for my area, not one of them produced a storm.... however there have been loads that miss us 20 miles to the north, 20 miles to the east, 20 miles to the south, 20 miles to the west....but never where we are. 

you literally cannot make it up.

Not much better around Norwich and mid Norfolk. Nothing but some outbreaks of drizzly rain. A diabolically bad summer.

I am keeping an eye on that mate as it's riding a CZ and back building.

Me too! Should be getting quite close by sunset so could be an interesting start to the night if it holds together. IIRC today's cells weren't expected to quickly die off after dark so fingers crossed

Sorry it’s not on YouTube but here’s a photo of it. It was seen at 5:30am this morning

Thanks. One hell of a catch, to get it that early! Spotter's instinct!

Anyone think the Amber warning for Scotland was unwarranted?

Think it's far too premature to be stating that. Their storms have been more electrically active and have trained over the same locations/backbuilt. Still some very intense cells west of Dundee.

Also the lack of rain this summer, it has been a dry summer up there. Scotland hasn't even recorded, in terms of rainfall, what they typically get in a June and it is nearly the end of July.   I imagine the ground  could be pretty hard, so flash flooding could  be a danger.

You need a warm, humid South East flow up there. Last year could not have been any better for it! Any influence off the Irish Sea kills most activity up that way. Similar to the North Sea out this way!

Hope you’re enjoying your holiday, plenty of ice cream I hope?! (I recommend the lifeboat in hastings for the best fish and chips)  hope the weather holds for you but I also hope it chucks a decent storm our way soon, it’s been a tad depressing watching the % chance constantly dropping

[Thunderstruck]

Nice view of an anvil to my NW here, radar would suggest it’s up towards Cambridge/St Neots sort of area, despite looking closer

Is that it for today then, any overnight storms likely?

Not just Lincolnshire but the vast majority of central England, the white dashed lines are the 10% risk of tornadoes and the black line is for hail up to 3cm in diameter,...another interesting day coming up and Friday is shaping up with interest,...watch this space.
