No doubt TORRID will be wetting themselves into a flurry of tornado warnings 

We only had one weak flash and a few distant rumbles (a period of moderate rain) so even parts further north missed out.

Absolutely nothing for here in Edinburgh though as per usual.😡

It's proper convective rain too, the sort that has massive raindrops which make large wet circles when they land...

Love that sort of rain. Impressive rain rate there to, Retron, though anything above 100mm/hour is something that raises the hairs on the back of my neck. Late summer and throughout Autumn best time to see rates on that scale, for here at least. 

I expected the warnings to follow the same path here but this late evening storm formed within half an hour over Poole/Bournemouth and moved over Wareham, Lulworth Army Ranges before petering out over the sea near Weymouth. High level stuff but potent and not something to be ignored whilst waving a carbon wand on the shore. So I stayed a bit in the car to enjoy the noise and then went home.

Nothing surprises me about this forum these days given as it's generally nothing like as busy on here on average as it was back in its heyday a number of years ago.

This thread might get some activity during tomorrow though as the north and east of Scotland is due to be under a yellow warning for thunderstorms during tomorrow with Edinburgh being included within that.

Given that nowhere in England is under that warning though, I'm not too sure about that and in any case, I've lost track of the number of times that Edinburgh has been under a yellow warning for thunderstorms only for nothing to actually end up happening.

We tend to be more likely to get thunderstorms though we were already in a generally wet spell of weather, and we're now coming towards the end of what has been an exceptionally wet spring here, so we could well get those thunderstorms tomorrow.

Here in Edinburgh, we're on the edge of yet another yellow warning for thunderstorms which is covering most of Scotland but what's the betting that nothing happens with this one either just like the last time when barring an early morning downpour, the rest of the day was completely dry with a total of just 1.2 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank during that 24 hour period.

On that day, there were some showers around but they kept on avoiding here with not even a single lightning strike to seen on the radar/lightning maps for miles on end.

Yet, it's a different story these days when it comes to yellow warnings for wind, and that is also increasingly becoming the case with yellow warnings for rain as well as we have been seeing just lately.

An impressive Cumulonimbus thundercloud over Fife slowly moving south towards us

Lightning sferics with it too
