I'm with you Brian, I have to say that I have been impressed by the changes taking place over the last two days. Yesterday evening there was impressive convection over the Sperrins, today with temps reaching 26 degrees in places the convection has been really notable all day here. With increasing instability and intense heat we have been getting explosive convection in the form of cumulus and towering cumulus, and the classic mid level instability altocumulus castellanus, the extent of this cloud here this afternoon had thunderstorms wrote all over it. Although none are forecast, I do wonder if there is a chance of a thundery breakdown. There's a weak cold front moving down from the N introducing cooler Nly winds for the next few days. At the current time the radar is showing the first shower breaking out today in W. N. Ireland. I wonder if anything will happen...
Nice image, I took a few also which I will post later.
