The 2018 summer and thunder thread

[JakeT]

I didn't see a cloud in the sky on the south coast yesterday. Was wonderful.

How's it looking thundery showers wise for Saturday pm Cotswolds area? BBC predicting lots of heavy rain showers passing through all afternoon/evening, netweather looks OK until night time?

Another big bike ride on the go, 300km circuit from Cirencester to Birmingham, Leicester, Banbury and back on Saturday.

Same for the new Forest.. I'm going with the Met Office that say none of that

Saturday, there's a low (but existing) chance of thunder, particularly in the South.

Sunday, much higher chance of more widespread, and heavier thunderstorms.

Arome weather model (which correctly predicted yesterday's temps) is going for supercell activity tomorrow evening...

Is that everywhere? Or would say a Warwickshire fence be okay?

I’d like to paint my fence by dartford bridge. I’ve bought a sprayer and everything.

Thank you, similar to the BBC then, I'll put car washing off for a bit.

Supercells are large and organised storms with stronger winds, more lightning, higher chance of big hail and even tornadoes.

What do you make of this puggit

[Puggit]

File that under male cow excrement...

There is a low chance of a brief northerly. Sometimes in April it can snow in the mountains.

Tomorrow's biggest storm threat remains Kent and Essex, along with from Birmingham towards York.

[Pericoloso]

The map of the south east on the BBC red button weather shows lots of lightning for 9pm tomorrow.

If the storm isn't worthy of a name. I will call it Nigel.

[Puggit]

Line of storms about to hit from Plymouth to Poole.

Edit. Warning for later today.

For the flashy stuff, I know net weather does it but so does this.
