Cheers Harry.  I'm currently at London Bridge, working in an office without windows, so am relying on yours and others living/working near by reports.

 

Fingers crossed

 

Theres awesome lightning to the south - moving in imminently

[MrSunshine]

Put five line sports extra on if you can, England vs SL at the Oval, which looks under the gun for a storm at some point looking at the radar. Commentators already talking about seeing lightening.

Even better I've put Sky Sports 2 on, They've just Gone off!

[Lynxus]

[WillinGlossop]

Looks like a lot of fun is going to hit central London... Fingers crossed it holds its strength heading this way!

[TropicThunder]

Makes a nice change to see storms actually intensifying as they leave France.

 

Meanwhile after the earlier madness, we have sunny clear blue skies here now.

[Biggin]

Over head and mental

[elfinpunk]

Blue sky appearing now. Lots of piled clouds in every direction except the one leading to me. Ho hum. Maybe we will get a bit of the action appearing over the French coast.

[Mapantz]

Rather busy on here..

[Dami]

Just noticed some very Big and some very white cumulus clouds heading my way. If any good will see if I can take a pic but my phone doesn't seem to pic up detail very well

[will-o'the-wisp]

Lovely dark sky over Northwood. Several rumbles of thunder and some good lightning. Heading due N from here.

[Hellboy]

Nothing here yet despite some reports of thunder on this thread from Chatham.

[Wet'n'Dry]

I picked the wrong day to work down in the shed!!

[NUT]

Rain sweeping over the oval now. Biggie!

[saint]

A nice storm has suddenly moved in here ahead of the main band.

[THE MISSFITS]

Best thunder I have witnessed since 1998 in Bracknell. Made my summer this has!

[Grazy2266]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZIP IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL

 

Pmsl I'm sure as all this moves north your get a nice surprise.

[SnowJoke]

Three storms close to MK now, the one to the north, can hear thunder from the east and from the south now aswell, the one coming from the south sounds like a beast, the rumbles and booms are so deep  

 

Edit: Heavy rain now and there is rolling deep thunder coming from every direction of the sky in the distance. I'm more excited than a kid in a candy shop at the minute, don't know where to point my eyes or ears
