Lashing down now and thunder even louder!

The Olympic torch is now in Mansfield which is in the firing line in the 10-20 minutes... could be interesting!

Where if anywhere has the best possibility to see a tornado today?

[Helly]

Hit jackpot here. Intense rain, strong winds and hail felt like a hurricane. Plenty of surface flooding now.

Thundering now, with the rain very slowly getting heavier.

Warwick, South Warwickshire! Where you live

[LadyEv06]

I'm just outside of Mansfield and its quite severe here at the moment!! Glad I didnt take my son to see the torch

[Lynxus]

So close yet so far

Had a heavy shower and just got to the edge of the storm. Shame.

Come on baby. Lets see some proper convection happen in the SW

[Hodgheg]

I see a few strikes showing well north of sheffield. Is this likely to be anvil lightning?

[Glocken73_2013]

For real?!?! Will that be something that develops later as the cold front pushes through? Because a lot of the storms developing seem to be going just north of here.

[Hodr]

Thunder heard in the distance coming from rochdale! YESSSS!

Not sure i'd want to be running around holding a metallic torch in the middle of a +44/min strike thunderstorm.

Possibly, outside chance of an F3/F4!
