Thunderstorm warning Saturday 10th June.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Some areas could see the late spring drought break dramatically on Saturday. Thunderstorms could bring torrential rain, with associated surface flash flooding. Other hazards include hail, lightning and high winds.

A big caveat for those in the warning area though. Many areas may well stay dry. We cannot forecast the exact location of thunderstorms and heavy rain. The risk that they will occur in a region can be flagged, but not exactly where they will crop up.

So, if you are planning an event, stay weather aware and be prepared to change plans as needed.

On Sunday, the risk of storms continues, but perhaps not quite as high as Sunday and I think the risk area will shift more eastwards and perhaps northwards.

North Birmingham here. Had a few showers this evening. No storms at all.

Following.

Day 2 of thunderstorm watch and we have updated metoffice weather warnings for today and now tomorrow as well.

Thunderstorm Watch from netweather.

Here (Leicester) we started off with cloud but it's all burned off now and it's 25C

Not a drop here last night.

It's sunny and hot and still right now. Most of the forecasts I have seen are saying rain late afternoon. I got up early to get the washing out.

It's tentatively hinting there might be some drizzle here. Maybe tomorrow.

🙄

Metoffice are giving us a 60% chance of storms from 3pm today. Yesterday I didn't think we'd get one but today, think we've got a better chance.

Looks like there are some potantial storms moving up from France at the moment.

Had about 30 mins of heavy rain in Bath, from 11 this morning.

We had a decent storm giving us plenty of rain last night...only to be complicated by it going v dark v quickly me trying not to trip/tread on a cat who changed direction and ran hard into my ankle.
Don't worry - she's fine. Me, not so much 😺🤷‍♀️

Sat in garden having lunch with family, roll after roll of thunder coming down Conwy valley it went dark we couldn't see the hills in the distance, then it all faded away, not a drop of rain.

It's thundering and raining here now despite none being on the forecast.

Yaay we have thunder rumblings at last. According to lightening site it is 3 mile away. Just back from a 12 mile hike on the tops so very much needed right now !

Finally! Very grey here, muggy as hell. Just started rumbling a bit.

We’re just northeast of Bath, had about 20 minutes of fine drizzle, barely dampened anything 🙄

Hellishly muggy again 🤬

It's just started raining!!!!

I was just reading this thought ooh is that thunder then just realised it was a plane flying over 😳🤣

Thunder West of Heathrow now

Nothing here yet (Leicester) but there have been clouds building over the last hour or two. I'm watching a blob on the Netweather radar coming from Peterborough way that might give us something though.

It's still really hot here in Essex, a few wispy clouds and a slight breeze but no sign of rain.

First rumble of thunder here in Surrey.

Move north, move north! It's only 5 miles!

Long loud rumbles of thunder in Manchester. Torrential rain and tbe drain at the garage blocked so it flooded. Quite a bit of lightning but it's the thunder that's been impressive

Sky clearing now so I don't think we're going to get rain...
