Weather warnings for saturday

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

from the met office

They are very broad based at the moment because as is ever with thunderstorms, you can have all the right conditions for them but actually predicting whether and where they will trigger is a big challenge.

Warning is for torrential rain as a result of thunderstorms which may also bring hail and strong wind.

In East Surrey. The sky to the south east is very very dark and it has gone eerily silent. Is the storm on it's way?

I think I can hear the distant rumble of thunder (although it might be my neighbour moving his furniture )

This is the front. It came up very very fast. Its night now.

Can I please book in torrential rain and huge storms for tomorrow all day in Herefordshire?
Preferably start early and fierce enough to have to cancel the il's coming round for a barbecue....

Any reports from the Sussex coast?

Ooo. I'm east surrey too ( I think). Where abouts are you nikki1978

Bloody hell Juniper!

Warlingham :) Are you close by?

Oh wow those pictures are cool! Now I know what to look for.

OYBBK do you mind if I ask what weather is likely to be this wkend (Sunday mainly) for Farnborough air show? We're hopefully driving down from East Midlands.

That I believe is a very impressive example of a shelf cloud.

Very windy, still very quiet though. Low rumblings and random sheet lightning.

Sweet pea, Sunday is def your best bet! It might not be dry, you might pick up some heavy showers in the afternoon but I would absolutely choose it over tomorrow.

LEM it's a hobby :) though at times like this it can take over rather!

No rain yet Juniper?

Fetcham. That's not too far away.

It's all eerie and glowing here. Love it. Ds slept through last night's storm.

In kent downs the weather has just been crazy! Very suddenly became extremely windy, completely out of the blue like a gale. Is it because we are at the edge of the huge storm?

Shitting it. Kent coast, hate storms. Sky has blackened in a matter of minutes. Hope it gets over and done with quickly.

I'm in Reading. I'm hoping we get a good storm. It's so muggy here.

Ds1 is very excited and has his camera ready,there was some great lightning last night but I love house rumbly thunder

If you are on fb check out UK weather discussion. There are pictures on there that I would never have imagined taking place in the UK!

South Wales - amber warming for thunder, it's been hot and sunny all day.

No. Nothing else. Is there a chance the rain will be west of us and we won't see any at all?

fairlyuseless - we had a sky like that this morning - had a bit of thunder and rain but very little.

It's absolutely baking here - we're at 28c and it's 9pm. I just have a thin layer of sweat everywhere, despite a fan and all windows open. DP is stark bollock naked. I rarely sweat profusely...so it must be humid!

Ok, so could everyone with fans please aim them my way so we get the storms? Although better tomorrow.

In London. Sky completely grey/yellow and weirdly lumpy looking. Hot and muggy but I get the feeling it's going to be a few hours before it breaks.
