Breeze has picked up slightly here now, knocking the edge off the temperature.

Very hot and humid in Leicester, no discernible clouds forming at the moment....... But the sunshine, although very strong, it seems to be hindered by a very high haze...

Pretty impressive looking storm over Caen near the north French coast.

Was having a bit of fresh air at work last night, if you could call it that, it was really muggy, probably around 00.30 I saw several flases of lightning and heard a rumble of thunder so at least witness a bit of rare night time activity.

I've got to be in line for some storms in my location surely....??

Cells starting to fire in the Channel heading in toward Weymouth/Bournemouth area.

something brewing to our south

Alan might even turn his heating off tonight

More channel cells firing, with lightning registering.

Hopefully they'll run into Hampshire.

met office update

Isolated thunderstorms with very heavy rain, hail and gusty winds are possible later this afternoon and early evening.

The public should be aware of the risk of very localised surface water flooding, particularly if the thunderstorms affect urban areas.

covers a wide area thou

It would be better to keep this thread on topic

The breeze here has backed a bit recently from ESE to E. Upper steering is SSW.
Very sultry feel with thin altocirrus and a few poppy Cu underneath.

 . . . and here we go.

That storm developed over Caen and has continued to grow in situ. No wonder they've got flooding issues.

that cell 2 our south has exploded into life in last few minutes amazing beast

Heading for Jiries

Patchy Ac cas here and the breeze is all over the place from W to E and back.

Very humid almost like the tropicals out there.

I think that cell over Caen is going to miss us, but likely I'll get to see the anvil overspill soon anyway.

---

Cells going up in Dorset.

Towers are starting to go up around me and more to the west I would not be surprised if a storm kicks off in the region soon
