Low pressure within a warm, very juicy air flow has been driving flooding thunderstorms over Northern France, Belgium, Netherlands and the Southeast UK overnight into this morning.

More of the same through late today and tonight as further pulses of energy stream in from SW.

Impressive shelf cloud over Rotterdam this AM.

Suspected tornado damage from Breukelen, Netherlands last night.

GFS surface

Air temp even through the early hours of this morning in the low 20s over N France and Low Countries.

Rising into the high 20s through Thu PM/evening.

Combined with high humidity.

CAPE values go through the roof.

Fresher air along with low pressure over NI and Scotland will present more typical sun and shower activity and eventually this fresher air will win out as we depart the weekend and enter next week with a series of fronts lining up across the Atlantic and set to cross the UK.

See this morning’s video.
