Using @DTNWeather #WeatherHub, the cell attributes/cell tracking system shows up the risk of hail and gusty winds with the cell near Henley, as well as the expected cell motion over the near hour.

Both these cells have the chance of producing hail 2-3cms diameter, as well as a tornado. A funnel cloud has been reported from Gloucestershire recently, which may have been a tornado. Please let us know if you hear of anything. Thanks, Paul.

Some of the cells in the south have the chance of producing a tornado. The one near Henley is meaty. Had some modest low-level rotation as it passed over Reading a bit earlier. – at Shinfield, England

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." We're working just a little harder at our 9 to 5 today. This forecast is for you, Dolly.

#Paumas, vidéo prise très proche voire au cœur de la #tornade. Cet habitant tente de maintenir sa baie vitrée pour éviter qu’elle ne se brise face à la puissance du vent. #Aude

🌪️😲 Bizar voor woorden! Of deze beelden ergens uit Tornado Alley zijn gemaakt, maar niks is minder waar. Dit is de schade die de tornado kort geleden heeft achtergelaten in Pomas, Frankrijk. Beelden via InfosFrancaises #tornado #onweer
