The current Severe Weather Warning predicts that the thunderstorms will
develop over North Wales late this afternoon and will become widespread
over Norther England this evening. The present activity is much further
south than that with sferics showing an increasing amount of thundery
activity over Devon. There's nothing happening over North Wales yet.



Here in Northampton, over the last 24 hours we have had:
NO thunder
NO lightning
2.1mm of rain (between midnight and 4am).

So much for last evenings' local "doom and gloom" forecast of torrential
rain and thunderstorms (stressing the strong possibility of a sleepless
night for most of us) expected in the early hours of the morning.

Had a look at the lightning radar at 1am, and Dorset and Hampshire were
getting a right old hammering.
