Scattered thunderstorms broke out over parts of Wales and the south and west Midlands yesterday thanks to a shallow area of low pressure pushing up from the south but that low is now retreating back south as high pressure builds strongly to the north of the UK ready to dominant the weather for much of the rest of the week.

It is a largely fine and sunny start to Tuesday although low cloud is affecting northern and eastern parts of Scotland. This will burn back to the coast and then for much of the country it will be another fine, warm and sunny day. We still have the remnants of that front towards the south and there will be enough forcing today for further scattered heavy and thundery showers to break out in a zone extending from Kent across to south Wales and over to southern Ireland. Once again the showers will be hit-and-miss affairs with many places missing them, but where they do develop there could be some torrential downpours along with a risk of hail and thunder. In the best of the sunshine it will be another very warm day with temperatures climbing to highs of 21°C to 24°C, but it will be cooler in the northeast, around coasts and where any showers break out.

Any evening showers and storms will slowly die out to leave many places dry overnight with clear spells although some low cloud will become more widespread towards the northeast. This takes us into a largely fine day tomorrow as high pressure takes control bringing plenty of fine, warm and sunny weather although eastern and north-eastern coasts will be much cooler.

Whoah! How clever is this? The Metcheck Thunderstorm Tracker Satellite allows you to see the developing storms across Western Europe and tells you whether they are growing or decaying. Every 15 minutes we take a snapshot of the cloud cover then measure the temperature and height of the clouds and show you whether the area of clouds are developing into thunderstorms and what direction they are moving in.

You probably hear a lot about the Jet Stream in the news. It's either too far North or too far South. The jet stream is identified as winds at 300mb (during Winter) and 200mb (during Summer). It is these winds which are responsible for driving and developing weather systems across the Atlantic.
