Thunderstorm warnings - Thursday-Saturday morning.

[GloriaSmud]

As often happens when we have hot weather, there's going to be a thundery breakdown so the metoffice have issued warnings for the next few days.

Not everywhere will get a storm but torrential rain, hail and lightning could cause problems where they do occur.

Little 'bump' for any storms that kick off today.
Netweather's thoughts and their storm forecast.

I hope we catch some here! We really need some to clear our air.

Oh I hope we get some. I feel so enervated in this heat. I'm in Kent.

Thanks. Just jumping on the thread. Really hope we get some thunder today

I'm in an area where ventusky is showing a decent whack of CAPE with thunderstorms 5pm to 9pm showing up on hourly forecasts... but met office and weather.co.uk have now removed thunderstorms from the hourly predictions. Woe :( I will look at netweather and hope they somehow know better

It's 32 degrees here. I can't see a thunderstorm coming today!

hmm.. netweather saying 41% chance

My weather station's saying it's 33.2C here (Leicester) at the moment.
Metoffice are giving us a chance of storms from 10am tomorrow morning for an hour or so before it heats up again and then a chance of more storms towards the evening.

We've just pitched our tent in the garden for Glast-home-bury, so we're bound to have a downpour

Lightning maps in case of storms today/tomorrow.

Yes, that should do it, MrsPhyllisTyne

Looks interesting just across the Channel, gradually moving north. It may fizzle out before it gets to me, unfortunately, as is usually the case with interesting weather.

it was still 27degrees in the house when I woke up.

Its 24 outside, so all doors and windows open. It's very grey and overcast.

It's only 18C here at the moment, but we still have a yellow weather warning lingering. No rumbles or flashes overnight that we were aware of (apart from Liverpoil fans' fireworks!)

After a warm night (with a 'low' of 17.6C at 4.29am), it was overcast first thing here (Leicester) but the sun's breaking through and beginning to get warm - 20C

Just had a shower, not very heavy - the ground has started to dry already!

It wasn't heavy enough to cool anything down, and has just increased the humidity

Thoughts from Netweather on today's storms.

Another shower to tease me!

Lasted a bit longer but again now stopped and the heat building again.

No showers at the moment - just hot!

Netweather's weather radar and more thoughts from Netweather.

Blue sunny skies and hot here now - hopefully the calm before the storm!

I've risked putting washing on the line!

I’m in Kent, we had a pretty loud thunderstorm from about 5am to about 6:30am today. It’s hot and sunny now.

My washing dried quickly, we had, another shower and nothing since, though looking on the lightning tracker there are storms to the east and west of us. The clouds are certainly building!

My friend who lives in Leeds has had thundery downpours and hail.

Absolutely nothing here yesterday.
There were some thunder-type clouds that built up in the afternoon and we had some 'chubby' raindrops about 5pm but that was it. We've had rain and it's cooled down a bit overnight though.

Metoffice have updated their warnings - thunderstorms/rain for the north/Scotland.

Well no storms yesterday, we have had a couple of light showers this morning, the house is loads cooler downstairs but last night was still uncomfortable.

All windows and doors ope this morning !

There was a thunderstorm not that far away yesterday, my friend was near to it. All we had here was a few rumbles, and two (!) flashes of lightning.
