Had a few nice T&L when I went to the bank, but it seems to have died out (unless it fires up again north of London). Still piddling it down.

 

Edit- spoke too soon, another crack of thunder!

That's the way I see it, storm activity confined to SE/E regions. Some heavier bursts showing in recent forecasts for the W country later this evening 9-10pm but that looks to be part of the general band moving in, which will sweep the warmer, muggier air out of the way. Although it still feels chilly here haha!

Chilly???? Man up ya wuss and get that sweater off!

all the cloud, be it storms or just rain baring are spiraling cyclonically around the shallow LP over Biscay, so the upwind weather so to speak will travel in the direction of this cyclonic flow depending on your position in relation to the LP.....in the far SE, storms look to track northerly, whilst in Central Southern England, the storms/rain will track north westerly, in the far south west, the storms/rain will track almost westerly......The LP itself, whilst not stalled is making slow progress towards the UK, and this is causing a headache for the forecasters modelling....hence the reason, storms seem to be 'stuck' in the SE quarter whilst the bulk of central/southern England has remained relatively rain free.....This will change though as the LP continues to track towards the UK.

 

 

Certainly for many of us in central/southern England the weather could hardly feel less 'plume-like' with featureless overcast skies, a keen easterly based breeze surpressing surface temperatures with rain encroaching from the SE associated with mid-level and low level detritus from the small MCS over the SE

The usual result from a Frenchie MCS - dull as ditch water here.

Now in East Grinstead and it has stopped raining here with the sun trying to poke through. And when it does perhaps round 2 will start - I see Amiens has a new cell developed over it.

Unreal...the week I was there, we had a few spots of drizzle one morning which must have lasted 30 seconds (if that) and that was it. In all seriousness though, my understanding was that thunderstorms are very rare beasts indeed in that part of the world during the summer months.

Thing is anything that is east of Paris will just go into the North sea surely?

 

The low is moving ever so slowly North East.. Hence.. In theory pushing everything more east?

 

That will, yes. I'd expect activity to pep up further west over France, this moving NNE to clip parts of the SE.

Looks to me like its heading for E Kent and will maybe go into East Anglia. That thing looks lethal though I must say, rapid development on it.

Looks like only Kent got most of the action today so I'm not that dissapointed like I would have been if Devon was the only county to miss out. I still think I have chance for later on this afternoon and through this evening as more thunderstorms develop around the Cherbourg area.
