Hi...

It was a good one..! I was out walking the dog and noticed a very moody looking bank of cloud to the south and lightning out to the east and west ( I'm on actually on the boundary of Eastwood and Rayleigh about 4 miles east of Southend town center) when there was an very vivid cloud to clould flash, my dog reached about 300 knots after that and we just got in when the hailstones and rain started, that passed over and another

'cell' slightly to the east of me approached producing even more lightning.....

cheers,

Steve

One of the more interesting storms that has developed in these parts this summer, this morning was really humid and the Thunderstorm spoken about over Kent moved north as already mentioned over East Essex, Southend moving northwards. Mainly sheet lightning here with some 13 mm of rain here over an hour or so in duration. Looks fairly settled here at the moment.

[Paul Sherman]

What a day!!!!!! Now have very heavy rain from the start of this line of showers moving east.

Paul Sherman

Torrential now!!!

[waverider uk]

Just had a storm here. Now moved east out over the north sea.

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

I'm some 15 miles to the East of you so we should be getting something soon! - starting to look overcast to the west now, is there any thunder and lightning?

[Paul Sherman]

Not great i'm afraid Timmy, just a heavy shower with nothing electrical this time :cry: Still earlier has made my day if not month.

Torrential rain falling here now as cold front comes through. No thunder/lightning, but intense rainfall.

Hi all...

Very early convection. see the radar this morning around 10:30 by Midday we had the start of the storms here in the South Norfolk area lasted a good 3 hours in all then I shot off to a Birthday party where I promised it was all over and gone off into the North Sea DOH! around 19:00 another pulse storm formed and went right through us!!! I was the only one happy everyone else looked pretty wet and Nitrogen plant fooded off------I left early

Just to add. Yesterday at 12.40 I was in Maldon and experienced the best TS for about 16years! Absolutely torrential rain lasting for 30-40 mins with frequent c-g lightning - one hit a tree at the eastern end of Promenade Park. Roads flooded. Angry looking cells followed heading N-NE. Only shame was I'd gone out for a pleasant afternoon's walk. Ho hum!
