Woah! Looked way lighter than that on radar!

Can now just see some cumulonimbus clouds to my SE in the distance.

In the midst of another downpour, they're just continually developing and feeding in here.

Looks like you were lucky today. Still absolutely nothing here, this evening looks better though.

The last hour has seen the sun finally manage to clear the drizzle and some fantastic structures are building now West of Northampton

Continuing to improving convective wise in Brum

[Mapantz]

The showers are bypassing me to the Northeast now, as the low slowly fills and moves off. Nice and sunny now though, everything is steaming.

Yeah, they're not far away from me now. Should see some action in the next hour hopefully.

[William Grimsley]

The shower moving SW from Yeovil has my name on it. Lets hope it sustains its strength.

[William Grimsley]

Maybe just maybe now I get a chance for the first time in ages.

The murk is finally clearing here with blue skies approaching from the E. Heavy downpours forecast here for later but we might be running out of time.
