Rain heavy here now with more thunder and lightning. Best storm here for years but to be honest it does not have a lot to compete with.

I would have to say that if a thunderstorm of that intensity can develop in the NE then myself and the online charts may have been wrong and the BBC correct. Would be great if this was the case. The evidence is there, as those in the NE can testify too.

Just had a brief downpour here. Looking at the skies it looks like something has developed to my east (again). Should be on next radar grab.

Very thundery looking here and more so than last night. Feeling very tropical too I must say. 

Extremely surprised that we didn't even get the thin yellow line from Estofex today, no warnings from skywarn either. I think its going to get better before it gets worse tbh.

Good luck everyone. Posted Image

Didn't get chance to post my video last night as I have no idea how to get Youtube uploader to work.

 

Caught a few flashes on video while out on a run, there was loads of sheet and fork lighting coming in from all direction. Unfortunately my phone kept loosing focus so this is the best of a blurry bunch! :)

Just had a good storm pass through roughly 30 mins ago ....plenty of C-C lightning.

Best storm Ive seen in a fair while and possibly the best for the last two years.

Very funny but Im sorry, there is nothing that shows me there will be Thunder. You will 90% be likely disappointed.  Very isolated rumbles I wont exclude but it seems some like yourself are expecting proper storms. Its not happening.

Looks like another '2nd August style' let-down in the south again. Still haven't heard any thunder this August. Not very impressed with summer 2013 for thunder - looks like the usual locations get all the fun again.

Can't even say summer 2013 is driest on record now as the non-thundery rain yesterday morning (10.5 mm) upped the summer total to 61.9 mm exceeding the driest year, 1976 (52.8 mm).

This part of S.E. misses everything - bet something exciting will happen during the 5 days I am away in September though.

Im up in the Midlands, we do seem to have had a few more storms that most this year, however they all seem to pass either 5 miles west or 5 miles east of me! Posted Image

I agree, the hot spot for storms now seems to be north east england, more especially towards the coast. Used to be the likes of Kent, Cornwall  with those big imports from france/biscay..

Clouds starting to bubble overhead now, this looks promising!

Massively oppressive here and humid.  Sky looks threatening but not much on the radar other than rain though atm.  Think all tonights fun will be east of here.

Looks like us in west yorkshire waiting for a storm might not have too long to wait. Keep an eye on that blob just south of manchester Posted Image

I'm just finishing work and the skies look threatening to the west - let's wait and see. There is an area of PPN developing around Bradford.

Can't see the point in spleen venting in convective/storm discussion lol..it's the UK not Florida?

People of Yorkshire will be shaking their heads with disbelief :) and yes, too early to write off Summer yet, considering Autumn can provide the goods. Sometimes more so...

We've got the usual case of rain on the radar but nothing actually falling scenario again here.
