Thunderstorms 2026

[CaptainRAVE]

I hope we see some, but we’ve missed most everything in the southern parts Hertfordshire. Hopefully we get at least some rain this time to save me watering the garden.

Italy getting monstered

Vesuvius not erupting?

Or could it be aerosols/particles from wildfires creating the cloud mass?

Jeez that's nuts. Surely they don't normally get tornados like that?

Track UK thunderstorms, heavy rain & hail with detailed maps and expert analysis. Stay ahead of the storms.

Heavy showers and elevated thunderstorms are likely to develop intially towards SE England and East Anglia in the early hours of Wednesday, as a result, within the destabilising warm plume axis advecting out of the near continent. A band of heavy showers and elevated thunderstorms then spreading north and northwest across the Midlands and northern England through the morning, but tending to weaken. Sunny spells following from the south across Wales, central and southern England - but with temperatures reaching 24-26C and higher humidity inland - may allow further heavy showers and thunderstorms develop here - particularly north of the M4 across Wales, The Midlands and perhaps up into NW England. Heavy showers and perhaps an isolated storm may develop across SW Scotland too into the evening. There is a risk of localised flash-flooding, hail, gusty winds and frequent lightning with stronger thunderstorms.


Further risk of thunderstorms moving up from the south from early Thursday, but this will be covered by a new Thunderstorm Watch issued later on Wednesday.

Already a pretty active front moving in across the channel. Hope we get a good storm.

Looks like it is building off France into the channel - not sure if it'll make it here, forecast overnight though.
