[it's melting...]

Evening Short low rumble of thunder 23:57 Tamworth Staffs, rain picking up, fingers crossed for more

It's the least you deserve considering that comically depressing accent those in Doodlay and Walsall possess.

Oi! Cheeky! It's pronounced Dudlaaay! Sir Lenny Henry will be informed of your impertinence! LMAO

[Serendipity]

Really, really heavy rain here now.

[Wilxy]

Its raining CATS and DOGS! according to my weather station haha

[Kain]

Im from Bridgnorth, yet always get called a brumie by my pompey mates!

[Staffordshire]

The rain around leic-notts-sheffield is becoming a lot more organised, maybe something could come of that for the North?

LOL! Top banter. 

[STORMGUY]

Looks like theres going to be a lightning show soon in Birmingham my guess prob about 30min time or so.

I live in hope

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I GOT A PHOTO OF A LIGHTNINNG!!!!

And I found biltong on the floor too :-D

[UKSupercell]

So frustrating looking at the radars, all this rain especially in the north and midlands, yet barely any lightning. There's been activity near Cheltenham and just east of Winchester though. I'd drive over that way if it was frequent lightning.

Just some light rain, a few distant flashes and rumbles in the end. Pretty much what I was expecting.

[Dagmar]

Big flash of lightning in and around Cheltenham at 00.03, another at 00.07. Fairly quick thunder, not far away. Has been raining steady/heavy for over an hour now.

[Snowshine]

Distant rumbles! But, lightning is pretty minimal.

[Dagmar]

Ah, sure I saw them out west in the direction of Gloucester but the lightning tracker wasn't showing them.. but now they are there so no longer questioning my sanity.

[ancientsolar]

Just as the storm over Winchester looks to be dying.. one sprouts off it near Reading!

So BBC what happened to all those intense blobs across the south with lightning symbols? THAT'S RIGHT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN 

 

Go back to forecasting cloudy days, you're good at that

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Reading storm? I don't see it on radar - or in the sky

[Paul R]

I think the cell towards Winchester has died off. Haven't heard any thunder for nearly 30 mins. Rain has become a lot lighter too.

Small cell between Wokingham and Twyford. Doesn't look to be much.

On what radar can you see the lightning for that storm? 

EDIT: Flash Bang Flash Bang etc beat me to it.
