Yep looking like a drowned rat Down here in hykeham while walking the dog. The gust front as it approached was quite spectacular. Intense rainfall. Lots of thunder and a few flashes of lightning seen. No hail down this end of the city. All in all apart from getting soaked, very happy

I was only joking Earlier when I said we might be in with a chance however we could get something if they continue. My view atm. The tops of the storms you’ve photographed.

Evening all. Well after a disappointing day yesterday todays outlook was nothing for Lincoln. However after checking the radar I’ve seen the line of storms and it does seem to be moving northeasterly. Not sure we will see anything however some of the better storms are the surprising storms so let’s see.

Was just about to call it quits and head to bed…. Maybe I’ll wait. Looks better on the latest radar return

Our last chance.

Call me optimistic, but the storm south of Leicester seems to be building to the east. Okay okay I’m really sat here trying to be optimistic. However… an hour ago I’d say no chance for us now there’s a glimmer!!

What sort of time looks prime. I’ve been under a rock this week. Had a few flashes 15-20 mins ago. 1 decent rumble.

Our best shot!

Not feeling too optimistic for here today. But hey who knows

I feel like we are on edge here in Lincoln today. Not completely getting my hopes up however it seems anything that does develop nearby today could pack an attitude. Hot muggy and just sweltering. Let’s see how the afternoon goes. All the best everybody!

I am in Scunthorpe for the day today and there seems to be something developing near by. A slight radar return in the last few mins too. Let’s see. Wind’s definitely picked up too!

Will be keeping a close eye today. Not getting hopes up but it feels like one of those days where there could be a few mighty surprises.

Well there is some potential today in Lincoln for something big this afternoon. Need this band of rain to move through and that strong June sunshine to work some magic. Question? How come Storms like the ones we are seeing this morning associated with a large area of rain always seem to contain more powerful lightning strikes and louder thunder? Apologies if that’s a silly question but genuinely curious.

Quiet few days in Lincoln. Very warm and muggy. Today looks like possibly our best chance of something… not holding my breath but you never know.

Some lovely cloudscapes though this morning. Hopefully something happens for us later . Hykeham seems to be a sweet spot for hearing thunder in recent times
