Some good potential today for showers in N. England and S. Scotland being heavy and thundery as the occlusion slips SSE through the day.

Lots of sferics around North Wales and especially in and around Snowdonia National Park! Most seems to be in the last hour... anyone in that area able to confirm and also, its direction? That weather band seems to square its direction off, the more east it gets...?

Intensity really picking up as the band pushes ESE, expect more widespread sferics along that band as it moves on.

Pretty awful last half hour, thunder (lots) lightning (equal amount) hail, really strong gusts, a real mess..

Sferics on blitz app for android shows clearly the band moving quickly from the north west to south east, well defined lines of sferics, red (oldest) to orange to yellow to white!! Quite easy to identify the white ones locally just after the (in real life) strike to appearing on the plot!!!!!

Never experienced this in January, late April yes, what on earth is providing the energy and trigger? Can't be heat? Can it?

Several of the road weather stations here in the West Midlands have shown a 6 to 7 degree fall in temperature in as little as 20 minutes as the squall came through.

Its the steep temperature gradient I think that makes this cold front so active.
