haha! ouch! How did you ever think that would be a good idea to re-heat in a caserole? Its bad enough when you buy it Hope you feel better soon though I know how it feels I had a whole week of gut infection once.

Anyway, the clouds are currently spitting at me, nothing more. Looking forward to tonight/tomorrow/Friday now.

[Victor Meldrew]

It's gone very black here!, more so than yesterdays bad forecasted storms lol

Do remember that the MetO warning does not mention thunder...hence my pessimism at the presence of a waving front.

Given that some CAPE is progged there could well be sporadic thunder, though not as much as I favour will occur across Ireland, parts of Wales and maybe SW England.

Friday looks a better day especially for the southern half of the UK

[Raidan]

Pouring down now,come on MN give us what we deserve pleeeease.

Edit: A couple of sferics detected in S Ireland.

LOL couldn't have put it better myself, sometimes I question the state of it when it's freshly cooked, let alone being reheated in a casserole lol....didn't think anyone could be that stupid

That line of rain doesn't look like producing much here, it has clouded over now so what we do get isn't far off. Looks like tonight we'll miss the heavy rain to the east leaving us as we have been all summer- in a boring no-mans land of a weather void.

Can people stop talking about the warning I was being sarcastic about the actual forecasts!

Anyway, Pouring it down here that shower developed rapidly on the radar

Wheres my canoe?A river has replaced my street.

What started as a bit of drizzle just instantly turned into a 10 minute downpour, like with a flick of a switch.

Does anyone else love the smell of summer rain? I cant get enough

Oh I didn't mean you VM - I could see excitement building over the warning and didnt want people to be disappointed.

VM living to up his name it seems

I must admit judging by the latest images from the wonderful NW radar I would say an area roughly covering Cardiff/Gloucester/Bristol is the place for the action from current time through to late afternoon. One squally shower after another appears to be steaming through that area from the SSW NNE'wards via devon.

That's my two penneth.

Today started off pleasantly warm and sunny but now we have very heavy downpours. 6mm in 20 mins making August the second wettest month of the year so far behind February for here.

[Liam J]

Very heavy downpours passing through Cumbria, clearing from the sw atm.

Nope no downpour here - some GRIM skies and occasionally moderate rain this morning! Given way to glorious blue skies and pleasantly warm sunshine.

[Jane Louise]

I know its more my part of the world, but I have a higher degree of confidence at this stage for then, than today or tomorrow

[Lancashire Lass]

Not expecting anything other than rain rain and more rain today.
