Blimey, that road in front is well flooded!

That's a cycle path.

Looks like a boat path to me.

Lightening again here on the fields. I’ve been up for 48hrs now in the tractor.

[Puggit]

Hopeful...

[Digger]

Hoping for some cracking storms in and around London tonight, without the flooding of course!

Moral of the story!? We’ve all done it, but time to stop lending your 50” plasmas to the neighbours methinks.

Well the comulonimbus above became the most majestic anvil head storm.

20 miles away

Amazing to witness but no storm for us.

Hasn’t rained here in Aberdeenshire for several weeks now. Getting fed up watering the garden every evening!

Thunderstorms? - absolutely no chance.

Last year it rained at some point virtually every single day all spring/summer, so shouldn’t complain really.

Another big storm day in the south tomorrow
Triangle from Bham to Dorset and Kent. Again.

So far in Southampton we’ve not actually had much in the way of thunderstorms this last week, the one that hit in March or early April I think it was was the best I’ve ever seen.

I love a good thunderstorm but it makes work very challenging. Northern France and the Channel seem to have had CB’s pretty much permanently overhead for a week and that’s bad news for me, that’s my patch of sky. We saw some pretty extreme weather avoidance on Saturday night and the tops are forecast to be even higher tomorrow morning, FL380 they reckon.

Yes, looks like it could be the worse (best) yet tomorrow.

Stormageddon !

Shame is that way down here on the south coast it is forecast (Aunty Beeb) for during the day. Would be much more spectacular in the dark.

[colin_p]

Nothing like they said it would be..... yet. Not even raining here in East Berks.... yet.

There is still time and the atmosphere is full of moisture.

[LivingTheDream]

updates please folks - due to be at Lords tonight for the hurricane relief T20 match

What's the chance of us sitting there under a storm? (Oh the irony)

I'm 17 miles west of Lord's, in Gerrards Cross. Heat and humidity noticeably increasing

Slough here. Just about to wander off to lunch. Not a sausage.

[Puggit]

Met office amber warning for the thunder has moved West from what I warned yesterday. South Wales, Somerset, wilts, etc

Try the fish then......

Waiting for kick off here too.

[JakeT]

In West Berks the heat and humidity are here. Feels much warmer than the 24°C the car was suggesting.

[LivingTheDream]

Suns coming out in central London now - maybe there is hope?

Chose uncovered seats as well
