I think I know what you're saying, but please don't elaborate! :whistling:


I was having a cigarette & saying hello to some hedgehogs in the garden. I have no idea what you're intimating... :p

I wouldn't say that, rain should be clearing your area within the next 30-60 mins. Should clear London by around 2ish and then be stubborn along the EA/Kent coast, probably not clearing until evening.

Cheers Harry, I'm off to London for a few days now, what's the betting any firework action in the South happens whilst I'm gone lol :unknw:

Doesn't look to be much in the way of convective activity today, still cloudy here from the front so I guess this is suppressing convection somewhat.

Its not looking promising I am afraid. But Radar is showing an area of convection behind the frontal system. And it has started to get brighter here.

mmmmmmmm nice fresh breeze outside and lovely sunshine.

Anyway...still thundery showers on the Met Office website for the southwest on Sunday/sunday evening and Eastern England on Monday. Does anyone have any early views on whether there is really that much potential?

True here too H. I thought the wind would blow things through but it's still sticky. No convection and certainly no sparks from what I can see anywhere but today was a longshot TBH. Still got the next week or so of things to keep an eye on. :good:

Was looking dark near here but looks like it has gone up your way. Any thunder heard? Very muggy out there.
