Hebrides Weather currently tracking three thunderstorms, two off the Scottish East Coast and one near St Kilda, west of the Outer Hebrides.
There are also storm cells in the central Highlands but the mountains are blocking these strikes from our sensors.
The storm near St Kilda has only been active for the last few minutes but there have been a high number of cloud to ground strikes from this storm. The track of this storm in yet unknown so for the latest updates go to our Lightning page.
Update:
Radar indicates that the St Kilda storm cell should move southwest away from the islands and out into the Atlantic.
The Storm cells in the North Sea could head NNW and come inshore during the early afternoon.

Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteGlad the emails are working.
I've just got back from holiday and missed the tornado in the town. Did you see anything?
nope, I was working till 10pm, Im totally and uttery gutted.
ReplyDeleteI got out work about 5 past 10, I was no more then 10 or 15 mins before the tornado happend. I had no idea it was going to happen. but the sky got really dark and the one thunder clap made the whole co-op shake it was really loud around 9:55. some really intense rain as well. I drove along matherson road around 10:10.
it was really you'd have to be at the right place at the right time moments.
