A few showers maybe the odd thunderstorm is expected to develop in the coming hours across Wales stretching into the Midlands.
Lightning will remain low if not nothing due to the low amount of CAPE. However a few strikes can't be ruled out ⚡️

Thundery showers across Scotland today as SB CAPE rises to 600J/KG in places that could allow sporadic lightning to take place. ⚡️
There was no time to publish an outlook today, however a low risk certainly an AOI would've been issued for Scotland.

Last night's hazy sun setting over Dublin courtesy of Canadian wildfire smoke. Could see the large sunspots on the solar disc very clearly with my eyes.
I like these kinds of sunsets but the sky was awfully dull yesterday from all the smoke. Can't wait for blue skies to return.
