Extreme & Convective Events 1 from South London this evening.

Tuesday 22nd July: Heavy showers will develop across Ireland & parts of England, sporadic lightning may be seen in a few of these showers. Risk of lightning is fairly low today, therefore a LOW Risk has been issued.

Wednesday 23rd July 2025: Convergence lines will allow intense showers and thunderstorms to develop across S England up to EA. CAPE values is expected to exceed 500J/KG allowing sporadic potentially frequent lightning for a time. Tornado's & flooding are the reason for the SVR.

UK Thunderstorm Updates There has been flash flooding in Hastings. I live here and local social media showing flash flooding and cars under water. The rain that fell was immense.

Wednesday 3rd September - UPDATE: Two MDT has been issued in replacement for removing the area of interest where we can expect the strongest storms due to higher amounts of instability in these areas. Frequent lightning may be seen in these areas, elsewhere mainly sporadic.

Monday 8th September: Thunderstorms & intense showers are expected to break out quite widely today bringing the risk of 1 or two lightning strikes. Across SW England into Wales, instability is higher leading to an enhanced lightning activity over this area.
