I saw a chart on one of the independent (so called) British channels
that gave the air stream as from both Atlantic and from Europe with
this rain today. So I must guess that the other thunderstorm reports
on here are for the east even south east of Britain. (In keeping with
yours.)

Look out for the time of the lunar declination when it is some 60
degrees from Britain and see which side of the country the thunder
takes place in the next spell.

OK I know it won't be -6 or so declination until the 26th but that
does bring it into quite a nice situation for thunderstorm lovers in
the west.

If I was that interested in storm chasing and not already here, I'd be
looking for cheap hotel accommodation in North East Wales. Somewhere
from Colwyn Bay to Prestatyn will be awesome that week. (23rd May to
1st June.)

Of course a Med. cruise might be good too.
