Very envious. How do you work out where the convergence area is?

Another shower is being born as I type but it's not half as intense as what I had an hour ago. Some of the hail from that event is still lying on the grass despite it feeling much warmer out there. The sun's out too.
After waiting seven years for a decent thunderstorm, today has been very satisfying. The thunder and crashing hail was music to my ears I'm getting to work on a video which I'll put on youtube. I should warn you that my voice will feature at times
