I can see something interesting far to the south from my attic window but because of the haze I'm wasn't sure whether its cumulus or CnB?

Apart from some very high cloud, the sky is clear in the North East, not expecting anything here.

Unfortunately it looks like it's fizzled out on the radar.
Heard a few distant rumbles from it earlier, the last one at 9.30.
