Heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible today and over the next few days for some Central and Eastern areas of the UK.
Heavy shower max. rr/hr 72.0mm, 4.0mm thus far.
Not September convection technically, but yesterday there were reports of a 'tornado' around Southport. Looks like a funnel cloud to me, but either way, yesterday and late last night especially ended up being pretty lively around here, which was unexpected:

Some fairly sharp showers here this afternoon and some good cloud depths to.
unexpected cluster of heavy showers in this area today gave a further 7mm
I was in Coventry this afternoon about half past 2 and heard a couple of rumbles of thunder. Heavy rain for about half hour.
local coastal convergence must have given rise to those showers here today from around eastbourne to hastings as a few miles inland there appeared to be virtually nothing
10.6mm between 17:30 and about 17:50 this evening here at Kew was quite unexpected and gave a bit of local flooding
Whereas at this end, scattered showers merely gave me 4.2 mm today. Along with the occasional bouts of sunshine, my lawn is now looking lush once again.
That's a really stunning time-lapse Kev
Well, that was an unexpected proper power shower with torrential rain, gusty winds and even hail. 5.1 mm fell in that 10 minutes here at Folkestone.
Dry up until now as a heavy, prolonged shower goes though.
A very dark, wet scene in the last hour here, with several bouts of very heavy rain coming through. Some enormous raindrop sizes at first. Rumble of thunder heard too, the first thunder I've heard since July 5th!
Another heavy, prolonged shower under way.
Torrential rain, eased now, max. rr/hr 102.8mm
Looks like being a convective afternoon and evening for many places.
Thunder possible in some of the heavier downpours.

No thunder here so far again!
Strongest wind will be around midnight. For me. May... get up to 67kmh...
I am in Kitzbuhel this week. Had a decent thunderstorm this afternoon.
