Afew video stills from a thunderstorm filmed near Great Livermere Suffolk, small hail and a funnel were observed.

Thanks for sharing, great photos there. Hopefully more pics to capture this year.

That looked like a monster. Hopefully we'll get more of the same this year.

What had the conditions been like that day?

[Thundery wintry showers]

A cyclonic south to south-westerly regime with sunshine and showers from a returning polar maritime airstream. Winds veered south-westerly or westerly across the country as the afternoon and evening progressed.

I was in Cleadon in Tyne and Wear on that day and there weren't any thunderstorms there but certainly some heavy showers. Thunder activity occurred mostly in the south-eastern half of England.

Thanks for the kind remarks everyone, it was a nicely organised storm, with signs of rotation, the hail was around 8mm irregular and opaque , i think the same area of convection produced a tornadoe in Eye later that evening.

Nice pics! This is very near to where I live

There was a tornado in Great livermere last september, some good panaramic views round that area!
