Some intense thundery showers moving NE through West Sussex, Surrey and London just now. Some rain gauges near Cobham recording 100mm/hr rainfall that delivered 25mm in 30 minutes. Kingston upon Thames, also affected. Streatham appears to be in the sights of a band moving NE in the next half hour.

Virga this morning looking like Mare's Tails, but it was below some altocumulus, and not cirrus. Anyway, they looked rather beautiful at sunrise. #clouds @cloudappsoc.bsky.social

Small thunderstorm over South London, with some very heavy rain for a short time. Moving to the SSE. Squally.

Stumbled across this mesmerising small tree at NymansNT today. I believe it is the Japanese alpine cherry (Prunus nipponica). I'm now obsessed with this tidy shrub. Will have to come back in Spring to see the blossom. #prunusnipponica #gardens #autumn

Quick search. This is what Reform would have you pay for healthcare under and insurance-based NHS. Who’s in? #healthinsurance #NHS

Funnel cloud spotted this at 10:35 just south of Sitges. Showers expected today but more problematic Northeast of Barcelona. #sitges #funnelcloud

The cup plants (silphium perfoliatum) have been covered in bees and hoverflies this Summer and they’ve coped with drought and the heat. A prairie in our small garden! #smallgarden #londongardens

A good demonstration of the urban heat island effect across inner London this morning. Near tropical night in Central London close to 20°C with a minimum of 15.2°C on Streatham Hill, only six miles South of the River Thames. H/T Wundermap & Weatherobs

Time lapse from 15:10 to 15:40 as first cell arrived with rain core evident to the right and West of Streatham Hill. It’s good cloud porn if nothing else.

This looks interesting. Some thunderstorms have crossed the Channel and are in the Solent heading NNE ish. My arrows are awful but it does look like London and the Southeast could see some intense downpours later this afternoon. ETA 15:30 ish? H/T netweather.tv
