I see the flash warnings for most of central England have now shrunk to the
blob on the radar around and just to the North of London. Certainly appears
to have been where the height of the activity was today. My daughter
reported violent storms with torrential rain and pea sized hail from around
the Finsbury Park area.

The warnings today were interesting - the absence of a warning for
Kent was soon rectified when the sea breeze convergence-induced storms
over Kent kicked in. Ditto the gap over London as the storms rumbled
around there this afternoon. Hopefully examples of this show a) how
horribly difficult convective warnings are to put out and b) the MO do
"look out of the window" during times of potential severe weather.

Great afternoon of weather though - from dozing on Blackheath watching
clouds bubble to trying to film some very odd cloud behaviour outside
my flat !

Looking at the Meteosat IR loop there did appear to be an almost
enclosed low around London looking at the circulation. Possible a heat
low?
