Summer trend broken, no nice Tuesday this week, hopefully delayed to tomorrow

[Shane Wheeldon]

What is it with this area and storms? The storm literally died over the top of us! Then to cap it off it rejuvenates once it has passed??!!!

We had plenty of distant rumbles then 2 really loud booms that shook the office! Then nothing. That was your lot. Without going all 'i remember when' storms in this area are not as frequent as they use to be!

Sun came out for a few minutes about half an hour ago, but now back in and some distant rumbles. Temp topped out at 24.8 °C during the sunny period, but then fell quite sharply to 21.2 °C in about ten minutes.

Thunderstorm passing by to our east,shrewsbury must be having a cracker.

Made 21.1c today warmest day since sept 5th which at 22.1c was the warmest sept day since 2006.

Can hear distant rumbles towards Bridgnorth. Rain has begun. So much for sitting in the garden after work yet just came back from Sandwell and it's been pretty nice most of the day, bit cloudy though.

Absolutely lashing it down here, thunder just started also. I do love a good storm. 

[Summer of 95]

What an afternoon, a taster storm about 1.30 and thunder and lightning for the last hour, with downpours. 2 storms in one day after none for 3 months.

So much for the forecast 30C, but I'll take the storms quite happily.....

[Snowyowl9]

A record afternoon for September thunderstorms as the one earlier turned violent deafening crash of thunder,saw 5 CGs at the saw time to the south early afternoon.

June 2009 was the last one like that when it struck a tree and killed 4 animals.

[Shane Wheeldon]

The weather gods do not want me to witness overhead thunder! Sun is trying to come out now!

[matt_in_dudley]

That was a cracker of a storm. Lots of thunder and near constant lightning. Moved away to the North now, sun has come out.

I normally find September the most boring month of the year, grey slate skies leading to ground hog day and all that......But not this year

[Puddy Galore]

Grief, that sure was intense.  There was a deafening crack with lightening at one point so I do wonder if something was hit hereabouts.  So glad that little lot didn't arrive after dark, it would have scared me to death!!  Even the cats sat up and took note!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Proper thunderstorm here with flashes, bangs and torrential rain. I heard a few distant rumbles earlier, but thought nothing much would come of it (as thunderstorms are pretty rare here these days), but how wrong I was. Didn't expect this at all, so is a nice surprise (from an extreme weather fans point of view of course).

yes, just hope it's nice tomorrow, bonus then, had my doubts when this rolled in from the NW

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Seems to be dying down now though as the rain is getting lighter, it's not as dark and any noise is getting more distant again. Good sharp storm while it lasted though.

[Costa Del Fal]

Enjoy your storms. Hopefully here in Cornwall we can take advantage of developments from France tonight.
