Constant thunder here. Rain getting heavier. But not all that dark strangely.

[Chris K]

That clump on the S coast could give the W country and W Midlands a hammering later.

[Panayiotis]

And we are off! Time to sit back and relax and watch this unfold!

West country likely not sure about west midlands they are forecast to move NW

West country likely not sure about west midlands they are forecast to move NW

 

True, perhaps parts of Wales more likely.

 

In fact may miss most of W country and head straight to Wales

Thunder heard to my South, The view looks interesting to..

[Guest]

Thunder to my east from a small cell. Watching a cell to the south, too.

[Ben Sainsbury]

We just need something forming 20-50 miles east of the current storms on the south coast and all southern england and midlands would have great show!

[dec10snow]

Heard the first rumble from this cell on its way to me... Loud one too, been quiet for a couple minutes though... Potentially first storm of the summer at home if it carries on my way!

[Lauren]

Great tip for days like this. Just been sunbathing outside with a cold drink. If you stick Greek radio on it really feels like you're on holiday! I can only imagine what the hell the neighbours thought I was doing.

Hoping that a second surge later this evening produces something Just got to keep eye on radars etc

Double pileus cap on the cell over Sheffield seen from here, going up like a rocket.

Wow.. that thunder is continuous. Never heard anything like it. Just constant droning. Shame it's literally skirting by here a few miles east - such is the way I suppose.

Heavy rain falling and distant thunder....bring it on!

Huge raindrops from nowhere in bournville and flying ants suddenly appeared!

That cell heading into South Somerset as just invigorated on its eastern flank meaning I may just get in on the action now.

Bristol channel coasts look in line for it's centre.

Are you in Reading or Cardiff ? ~ I can see developing radar stretching rapidly to Cardiff Bay.

That's cool, I've not seen Pileus for years!!

[Summer of 95]

Wind is coming from the NW here, how on earth? All the clouds are moving S-N, the isobars suggest SEly, no wonder we can't get the heat or convection.
