You never know, Torravieja might get slammed by some unusual storms while I am out there!

Dont say that...I'm going to Spain on Monday for a week and going to be absolutely gutted if we get our first plume style event and I'm not here to see it

Just after reading Estofex, has the UK ever been in a category 2 or 3?
After a cloudy (and humid) night, the clouds have cleared to clear blue skies, will be keeping my eyes open today, I have the Pennines around 15 miles to my east.

Not in my experience, certainly not for thundery weather. We might have had the odd 2 for violent depressions but that's about it.
Way back in the mid noughties, Estofex used a different categorisation system of "Thunderstorms", "Slight", "Moderate" and "High" (if I remember correctly). Back on that system we had a few moderates and even the odd High Risk but I'm pretty sure we've not had 2's and 3's since the new system took effect.

And to think I have always regarded you as the expert, please don't lower yourself to my level. 
Nevertheless, something is definitely up as the precipitation band around East Wales is expanding and perhaps the stuff down south is doing just the same. Whether, the atmosphere is sufficiently primed and fired up, I will leave that to others to decide.

Hehehe...I can assure you I'm no expert. I can say categorically however that (sadly) the atmosphere is in no way primed for thunderstorms for our part of the world, despite some of the deceptive conditions around.
It's perhaps one of the best cloudy days we've had, lol!!

A purely unscientific observation but the skies around my area appear to have a look of potential thunder about them. I wonder if we could get a surprise development come up from France way before Sunday’s possible action.
Currently temperatures are on the slide here after some sunnier interludes this morning. Right now in Newbury, it is 14.4c (Max 15.6c), Dp 10.3c with a steady barometer reading of 1002.5hpa.
The radar is showing some bits and pieces of rain down south and in the English Channel right now, sat24 looks interesting too.

Glad it's not just me LOL!!
Much warmer day today than of late, despite the cloud not the hint of a chill/coolness in the air. Plus, the sky was covered in altocumulus undulatus this morning, something you frequently see the morning after plume thunderstorm events.
I've also got my eye on the weekend....action will come very close, all it takes is a slight shift in the patterns!
