[JRMcLeod]

Have had a few rumbles of thunder today with some very heavy rain...has been strange weather wise today...freekishly warm and muggy...

[lizziek]

Small storm here - lightning sporadic but its been going for a good 20 mins now

[rob-lancs]

[Tim B]

I can confirm that Rob being only 10 mins away down the M65, I have seen a couple of flashes in the last few minutes and heard a couple of rumbles.

Nothing much really though the lightning was pretty bright.

[Nick F]

Thunderstorm just cleared SE from the town, about 10-15 mins of heavy rain and fairly frequent IC/CC lightning with one Cg observed, hail also fell towards the rear of the storm.

[SnowBear]

Observed same storm as Nick, slipped by to the north of my position in Colchester with a smaller cell moving to the south of my position, moderate rain, no hail, fair number of lightning seen, once reasonably close. Looks like the core of main cell went ummm, N/NW side of town, out on the East, towards Mersea/Clacton.

[Nick F]

Just had the second storm of the afternoon pass over Colchester, this time brief and weakly electrified - with just two rumbles heard with a downpour for 5 mins with hail, now brightening up with the sun shining while still raining with a cracking rainbow to the East.

[BFS/BHD]

Very heavy sharp shower.. gusty winds

but no thunder... looked more threatin'

Had a distant storm pass by earlier this afternoon with a few rumbles of thunder, and then another pass much closer a bit later. Neither were close enough to bring any rain, but we had a sharp downpour between the two storms passig through
