    We're just too far west of the plume.

    Watch this for the latest storm developments. Cyan and red are what we're looking for. Plenty of that going on in SE England, where theta-e values are well above 60 °C, compared to <50 here.

    Getting that level of storm was never on here tonight. But more isolated, less intense cells could still develop at times which is all we have to go on.

    Edit, some activity south Irish sea now.

    Lightning every 5-10 seconds here in west London for a good 90 minutes now, no doubt an amazing light show if I had the freedom to sit and watch. Frustratingly though I've been stuck with visitors all night, only managed to wriggle free in the pat 10 minutes and the best has all but passed. Although it looks impressive on radar there hasn't been a single rumble anywhere near my location though, all distant thunder with the loudest rumble all night barely registering as a 'wheelie bin' type rumble

    Worth keeping an eye on Sunday's potential. Slow moving thundery showers quite possible. 559702a28044f.gif

    CAPE values improve (slightly) over the Irish Sea over the next couple of hours. It's probably just enough to help set off a few extra thundershowers but probably not enough for anything too exciting.

    Still, could be a chance for those on the east coast to see something though probably from a bit of a distance.

    Bit knife edge in terms of wind direction alright which has shifted more southerly in the last hour.

    I was mistaken in saying the best had passed, still bright flashes every few seconds with almost strobe lightning at times, brilliant now I have the freedom to appreciate it

    Just had a massive crash of thunder overhead as I'm typing as well, epic :D:D

    There is some activity registering in the Irish sea off the Co Wexford coast but it's not that active right now. As we know though this can change quickly!

    Things just exploded here in north Bedfordshire. Most impressive lightning + monsoon combination I've seen in years.

    Storm now active in Irish sea just east of Wicklow. Couple of strikes (presumably intracloud) just off Wicklow coast in last few minutes.

    Must not laugh at the people coming out of the pubs with nothing on and getting soaked in the rain.


    Ive never seen rain like it.

    Coming up to 2 and a half hours of constant thunder and lightning now in London, just as things seemed to be quietening down a massive downpour has just started out of the blue with lightning still flashing from all directions :D

    Loving it :D

    There are some pretty strong gusts of wind here in Cork City at the moment just got woken up by a loud bang as doors blew shut in the house!

    Related to the thunder type systems ?

    Wind picking up a fair bit on the coast in Dublin. Low cloud has suddenly started to develop just over land and travelling north west.

    Some good news. Conditions (at the moment) looking good for a fairly broad risk of some thunderstorms popping up tomorrow. LI down to -7 and CAPE up to around 1500.
