[Knoxgar]

things getting started over NE france! http://www.t-online.de/wetter/niederschlagsradar/64094056

[Karl83]

Bristol to miss out on the action? I'm beginning to wonder....

[MP-R]

Surrey, I take it you're at work in Ascot again? Skies are looking menacing in that direction but much brighter towards Thorpe. Sun even trying to shine here in Englefield Green haha.

[Panayiotis]

This is what the thread should sound like!! Sounds like its going to be a good day and its only 1pm!

[Grazy2266]

Oh Just had a nice rumble of thunder here in Aylesbury Bucks just now.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Very potent cell fired by Ascot Between reading and M25..

[TropicThunder]

Just driven home from work through biblical rain, thunder and lightning, lovely! 

 

And having just checked the radar, it looks more like what we usually see over France!

[SteveB]

Bristol to miss out on the action? I'm beginning to wonder....

 

Have you noticed the storm on it's left side is losing it's intensity and that's the part that will pass over us as just rain.

[Grazy2266]

Things are starting to develop over London now which is a good sign for me as it all seems to moving NNW

[Supercell 89]

Still distant rumbles from that Bracknell cell

[MP-R]

Bristol to miss out on the action? I'm beginning to wonder....

 

My mum texted me earlier to say she heard loud thunder near Long Ashton around 11.30 this morning from a passing torrential downpour. A lot of the activity around the Bristol really does seem to like bypassing the city itself though!

[dave48]

Close thunderstorm here, loud thunder and lightning

[Dami]

make that two claps of thunder!

[Nick L]

Video or it didn't happen lol.

 

How can Reading? East and West and South have thunder - stuck in the middle with piddle lol.

 

Don't worry, we have naff all in Reading as well! Just a brief spell of rain and the most distant thunder.

[Supercell 89]

Going dark to my south east now. Lightning now showing up in the nearest cell, come on please survive!!!
