@NickJF75 Have you managed to find any radar images of this storm?

Another more distant view of the deadly #tornado which hit Ermont on the outskirts of Paris today 🌪️

Very pronounced sun halo up here in London this morning ☀️😇 This is due to the light being reflected / refracted by ice crystals in the very high clouds. Often a sign of deteriorating weather within the following 24 hours

@KentPoliceAsh Thank you Ashford police, great to see enforcement on these illegal scooters 👍

Another e-scooter was removed off the road today whilst #AshfordCSU were on foot patrol in the town centre. The rider accepted he shouldn't have been using it, so little complaint from him when it was seized. #GetWalking #RoadSafety 05-1015 AS

@MetJam_ Might pop down to SE Kent coast as this moves eastward. The spout index I saw on Lightning Wizard is off the chart down there for this morning

Very heavy squally rain going through Brighton headed NE - a small risk of a waterspout or associated tornado with it as it goes through but very heavy rain and strong wind gusts are certainly more of a risk!

@KentPoliceAsh Why have you obscured the VRM if we are meant to be looking out for his car?

@KentPoliceAsh Very much appreciated, great work 🚔👍

ANOTHER two e-scooters seized by #AshfordCSU for riding around the town centre. One of the riders is now a repeat offender and has now lost his second e-scooter ...money not well spent! #NoRefunds They posed a hazard & risk to the public. They won't now. #SaferRoads 05-0402 AS

@antdecluva @StormchaserUKEU Nice structure there!

Tonbridge this evening #storm @StormchaserUKEU @KentStormChaser

20 years ago today Birmingham was struck by this T5/6 tornado. torro.org.uk/pdf/Birmingham…

@EWE_UK Haven’t got any stamps so will guess on here. Friday!

Another glorious, sunny and fair day. How long do people think it will be until the convective weather returns? Answers on a postcard

@KentPoliceAsh Thank you!

Neighbourhood police officers in #Ashford have been responding to local concerns about e-scooters by educating riders and seizing vehicles. See bodyworn video of their work here... #NeighbourhoodPolicingWeek

@headcornweather Might reach a bit closer to you this time?

First signs of precipitation developing along the convergence zone over West Kent / East Sussex. Data courtesy netweather.tv

@MetJam_ I was really impressed with the structures given the lack of shear, well worth the trip. Will be doing this more often from now on, especially if Kent continues to miss out so much

@KentStormChaser Really quite a nice updraft on that

@NickJF75 We made the pilgrimage from Kent to see these, the updrafts when they first went up around Heathrow were epic! We settled in SE Bucks and let them roll past while I got the drone up. Great day

#thunderstorm over #London looking from my office at Heathrow, can hear the thunder rumbling too.

Good morning. Tens of thousands of lightning strikes were recorded yesterday as active thunderstorms swept through parts of England and Wales, with some of these producing large hail. More storms will be possible today across the far south of England, Wales and even south-west Ireland.

@EWE_UK 21 days

How every morning should start!

@UKStormUpdates Interesting how the UK seems to get quite a few of these isolated positive CGs

There were reports of “ridiculously loud” thunder in Swansea this morning after 2 AM. Lightning appeared to have struck just west of the city, near Upper Killay. Did you hear/see it?

@EWE_UK Nah today’s warmer down here in #westhythe !

Who else is enjoying the sunshine today? Anyone headed down to the coast?

@EWE_UK Any coconuts up there?
