Currently basking in hazy sunshine here with the temperature having soared
to 23ºC.
Today will now have the highest maximum of the month. Dew point around
16.5ºC, so it's rather humid.
A mixture of Cirrus and cirrostratus in the eastern half of the sky. But in
the west, these layers become progressively more dense. And recently an
altostratus shelf has formed underneath with some ragged Cumulus developing
into the bargain.
The western horizon looks rather fiery.
I imagine the higher than forecast temps and dew point will help trigger
fireworks soon as the developing cloud trundles slowly east.
Alex.

Sitting at the northern end of the line of cloud which can be traced down to
the Irish sea, through Wales and Cornwall atm.
No thundery activity at this end though. Looks to be plenty of rainfall
hanging above us, but not reaching the ground.
The line may become thundery up here as it moves further east.
My attention now switches to the temporarily clearing skies in the west.
Radar and sferics now showing much activity heading our way from Northern
Ireland.

Currently 19.8°C with RH 94% here, Alex, and very hazy with visibility
about 6km and cloud base about 600 metres.

Cloud too thick for sunshine or it might be quite uncomfortable.

Hi Alex

Yes, there is quite intense convective activity here right now over
counties Tyrone and L'Derry, with lightning and thunder, as well as heavy
rain. It seems to be moving to the NNE.

19 C thick and cloudy at Aberfeldy 1300. My screen is covered in tiny
thunder flies (?) never a good sign. The radar is showing some rather odd
lines of showers at the moment that seem to stretch for hundreds of miles
but are about 30 miles thick. The N Ireland storms seem to moving up on a
very rigid NNE line that runs with the Great Glen fault.

Yes, the general movement from the storms over NI seems to be NNE,
unlikely therefor to trouble this area.
Skies becoming very hazy now, a dense layer of Ci is evident though, and a
new encroaching shelf of As to the south west. Temperature still warm at
22ºC 69%RH in very light winds.
Best bet for T'storms in this area now is some home grown ones bourne out of
instability over the Southern uplands later this afternoon.
Chances are still high I reckon.
Alex.

Just returned from a trip to Glasgow.

On the way in, the temperature near the airport was 25°C (by the car
thermometer) and on the return, two hours later it had dropped to 18°C
in heavy rain.

Currently, raining heavily here in deep gloom, poor visibility and
with a very threatening sky to the north.

Rainfall is 10.4 mm since about 16:00z and temperature is now 16.7°C.
