Yep! its Going southwards. Its a shame.

Is that a low top super cell storm over Milton Keynes, that looks to be going north very very slowly. Or just a powerful storm?

The storm cell to the south of here decayed in the last 20mins but there is still the storm cell moving north from Milton Keynes, might hit us, might not. What will tomorrow bring higher temperatures and higher humidity forecast 30c across SE England or unless its changed. What an interesting day the UK has had.

Distant Thunder and Lightning to the South.

Northwest storms slowly decaying. But the Bedfordshire and the tail end storm over Northamptonshire look to be converging this could be a spectacular light show tonight peeps. High anvil tops looking South and SE just a matter of time. No wind at all, gone very quiet!

More storm development SE England maybe another bite at the cherry tonight, across the East Midlands. I do feel sorry for the people of Northwest England. For lack of storm activity.

Less lightning activity now, perhaps more storms tonight.

Yes they are moving North.

Saw alot of thunder activity last night over Market Harborough just constant sheet lightning hardly no precipitation very loud thunder and only 9c which was weird. Then a small convective storm around 6am just a few rumbles of thunder before moving away. Now a distant storm to the West, but weakening as its moving Northeasterly. 3 storms in one day, just like the good old 1990s. But I can never forget the thunderstorms over Great Yarmouth of the summer of 1997 them storms produce so much lightning it was every second for several hours, the best thunderstorm I have ever seen. For reference Great Yarmouth lighthouse was struck by lightning during that storm.

Are the Thunderstorms moving Northeast? Just constant rumbling Market Harborough.

Watching the skies to the SW its getting closer sky is looking dark. #sigh Going to miss us. How do you upload pictures? Just as I wrote the above I hear a crack of Thunder. Yes maybe.

Lots of cloud developing over Market Harborough, sky looking hazy possible shower/storm development South East, North and North West direction's from my location. My thermometer reads 28.4c very little wind, very humid. Looking Northwest looks good for you guys across Northwest England. Maybe!?

I knew it looked promising over Cheshire about 30 mins ago.

West of Market Drayton looks very promising!

Cheshire and North Wales could get one or two brief Thundery showers soon, If there is enough convection. Some heavy thundery rain across southern wales, might intensify but weakening. I might be wrong it's just my instinct.

Are there more storms forecast for East Midlands? Early evening and tonight will be cool just like last night.

First storm to hit Market Harborough in May since 2004, and we get two on Sunday 27th May 2018. First storm was the best in the early hours lasted nearly an hour, lots of lightning, lets hope this set up continues NE Wind feeding in from the North Sea, Storms moving out of Southeast England on a NW direction heading towards Cheshire. Thanks to the NE winds its producing convective storms across the Midlands. More Storms forecast for later today and Monday, fingers crossed.

This is my first time posting on here but want to add that storms in my area seem to be increasing and becoming more intense of late in the East Midland, particularly along the Northamptonshire Leicestershire border I live in Leicestershire. Here are some memorable storms, which I have seen in recent years, I don't have exact dates apart from one or two. June 2002, strong locally severe thunderstorms head North from the SW W/large hail, frequent lightning. May 2004 strong overnight thunderstorms moved in from the SE frequent lightning there were some spectacular CG lightning. July 2004 strong convective singular thunderstorm develops late afternoon again frequent lightning, flash flooding in Market Harborough town centre, (Same year Boscastle recorded 200mm of rain major flooding) July 18th 2006 On the same day Gravesend reached 38c? That night in East Midlands temp fell no lower then 22c In Leicestershire. Severe electrical storms/thunderstorms break out quite widely across SE England moving North and last alnight. frequent CG lightning and spectacular CC lightning not much rainfall total. (Just to add to this I don't have prove off this but there were unconfirmed reports that temperature peaked at 40c+ across several locations across Central England? *Note* Only reason I remember this is because it was the first week I started my current job. June 11th or 12th? 2011 Unfortunately where I live I missed the so called supercell storms in which supposedly spawned several funnel clouds/, across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Newcastle was also effected including Sheffield by flash flooding. July 2014 strong convective thunderstorms, developed 10PM onwards frequent lightning. after several hot days peaking at 31c. July 3rd 2015 widespread severe electrical storms/thunderstorms developed over much of SE England moving North after a 3 day heatwave I remember how static the air was on this particular night, frequent CG lightning. Many areas of Northern England was hit on 1st July, I watched as these storms developed over the East Midlands. August 27th 2016 severe thunderstorms moved in from the SW heading NE not much rain but frequent spectacular CG lightning yet again very loud frequent thunder aswell lasted about 1hr. In 2017 only a couple of weak storms during July and September nothing severe as I can recall. There was however a cracking convective storm over East Anglia one night in July with frequent high level lightning. 2018 the only storms I can recall accured during the beginning of January so far, not evan the warm periods of April and more recently in May produce any thunderstorms this year so far has been dull.
