Should be for text reports, only of storms, forming storms, hail reports, lightning, Thunder etc.

Any pictures should be posted in the UK Weather Photography Forum.

This is to help those on mobile devices quickly keep up to date with information on live storms.

Chatty type comments should go in a Convective Chat Thread. (If chatty comments are posted in this thread they are likely to be edited or removed without notification)

Please read before posting Convective Weather Posting Guidelines 2012



Shower of rain with small hail (~3mm) at 0125z for 10 mins, moderate intensity at first.
