Heavy rain, thunder and lightning up here in Inverness.

Dropped the ball here, by not knowing about this coming.

I see elsewhere the borders had some earlier on and I can see on the radar the north east of England getting a few rumbles and more torrential rain. They are having some year down there.

Lots of strikes showing up around the Cairngorms and the northern hills like Ben Wyvis, not a good day for the walkers.

No doubt there's some English fud up the top of one of the hills/mountains wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops

On the train back from London at the minute. Just left York, still sunny.

Btw get your act together CityDave. Sloppy, very sloppy.

I'll get the birch out later, this is interesting.

There was a small group of storm cells that went past the outskirts of York around about 2 and are now out in the North Sea. The shape of this system looks like a spiral with arms going out from the center and its moving quickly anti clockwise. Its very weird. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/. There is a strengthening arm of this spiral swinging up towards Aberdeen and the North East Scotland right now.

Rain has decreased to a drizzle but the thunder and lightning is still going. Just seen a clear CG bolt over towards the Moray Firth, could be entertaining for those crossing the Kessock Bridge. :huh:

Lots of lightning strikes in the English Channel just now. This system has been predicted to move north during today and should reach Scotland later on, met office have issued yellow warnings for today and tomorrow for heavy rain possible flooding in England, Wales and Southern and Central Scotland

Changing the subject, did anyone catch a glimpse of the meteor shower last night, unfortunately I didn't?

Was meant to say tornado warning.

This fucking site is doing my tits in, keeps freezing (regardless of where or what computer I use) and keeps missing letters if I type at any sort of decent speed

Hard to believe we are coming towards the end of the summer (!) and it could go out with a rumble and a bang this weekend. A spell of thundery weather has been forecasted for the UK this weekend as temperatures of 25C clash with a cold front moving in on Friday night, could be explosive.

So far little has been said about Scotland this is all about England and especially London where some forecasters have talked of the possibility of tornadoes. No warnings yet from the Met Office, but I will keep a watch tomorrow on developments and add them here. The jet stream at the moment piling cooler winds in from the west is likely to shift to a south to north direction over the UK over the next couple of days and where the two air masses will clash it should get interesting. Its expected Thunderstorms will form along the cold front boundary as the warm air is lifted and condenses.

Weather warnings now being issued for heavy rain. East England, East Midlands and South East and London.

Squally shower, light rain but a strong breeze passed over Inverness at about 1pm and cleared away quickly. Lots of wispy ice clouds (Cirrus) moving in from the south, quite possibly a lot of wind sheer going on up there. Jet stream cirrus like this would confirm not only the jet stream is now running from south to east but also the presence of the frontal edge of the depression out to the west. Sunshine and showers the rest of the day, tomorrow it will be heat followed by the storms, but it looks like we up here in Scotland will avoid the worst of it.

Over 4000 lightning strikes in the last hour on the netweather lightning detector. Midlands and the North East getting the worst of it right now.

Thunderstorms right up to the Scottish Border, maybe heading for some night time storms?.
