Still 30C currently and there is a bank of altocumulus castellanus passing overhead now. Signs that the atmosphere is becoming less stable around here.

Same here.

Same here Bolty. Hope you catch a flasher tonight so I can pop to the Peaks and view it from afar 

Hope so too SJV. Something like this would be nice (1 July 2015 storm over Manchester viewed from the Peak District):

Few spots of rain from the ac cas overhead. Lovely feeling to the evening outside.

Some nice jellyfishes this evening - should be great when the setting sun illuminates the virga.

Jellyfish and cirrostratus sunset to the west with the odd tower going up. Recent lightning on the Islands of Strathclyde. Looks like instability is starting over Ireland and western Scotland

Some quite deep AC moving over here atm.

---

A storm forming over Glasgow, more to the NW and lots of lightning to the NW of Ireland

Strong radar echoes appearing north of Isle of Man and Dumfries and Galloway. Also Liverpool Bay?

Estofex continues with the level 1 warning for N. Wales, N. England and into Scotland for Wednesday. The odd cell now electrifying in SW Wales.

Constant thunder and frequent flashes of lightning here as that narrow band of intense precipitation heads northwards. More lightning in the last 10 minutes than about the last ten years!

Just woken to the start of it here! 🙂

Just woken to the start of it here! :-)

Enjoy it - there was a lot of lightning here.

Already seen some impressive forks!

Sky is a strange orange colour.

Some impressive looking storms this morning for parts of Scotland, Some quite vigorous ones over Wales, IoM, fringing into Cumbria. That will all be heading NNE as well!

---

Just kicking off here. Fairly frequently thunder now.

Signs of cells forming on the eastern flank of existing storms in Wales, NW England could be seeing something soon. Also some cells trying to get going in the Midlands, but the environment clearly not as conducive here.

Round 2 please!

Worth noting that some models are breaking out some isolated storms further south this afternoon - south midlands, possibly as far south as London area.

Think I'm onto round three at the moment.
