I was just typing how quiet it has suddenly gone (the rain has dropped off) and then boom ! I could live with constant storms..

[Me & angel fiance]

Not 100% sure but sitting outside in garden and it all went very quiet esp the birds for a minute then pretty sure i heard a rumble.  If I did then it must be pretty loud in places as we are further north than the current storms in London area. The sun has pretty much disappeared and the skies are looking quite grey.  Slight breeze keeps dropping and very humid..  Now the birds are getting very noisy again 

[tomp456]

After a brief storm earlier that produced steady rain, the sun has returned. Hope this is a precursor to storms later. 

[Harry]

A number of VERY close CGs dropping around the office....this is awesome!

[STORMGUY]

The storms over near wales border are more Severe and now getting stronger

[Windblade]

Now very heavy rain and more frequent loud thunder. A few IC strikes as well (been trying to capture pictures of them on the phone but they arent very frequent and hard to catch) although the bulk of the storm has still not got here yet according to lightningmaps. Hopefully the best is yet to come!

[Homerr]

Typical what is headed for Uxbridge has really weakened as it got there!

[Nick F]

Seems to be continually back building the storm here in Croydon, seem to be stuck under the bears cage with some powerful CGS dropping every minute or so, though not the constant thunder as half an hour ago when the storm arrived. Loving it.

trough is overhead here and rapidly fizzling out....what an abysmal convective season here so far this year 

[Daniel*]

That was a loud one!!

Honestly I find London to be a very decent location for storms especially the 'interior' of London.

Looks like mayhem in most of Scotland but here in the central lowlands still dry

[Allseasons-Si]

Lightning maps down?

[Windblade]

Fresh strikes to the north and south of london. Strikes in dover as well. Looks like they are getting in on the action!

But London hardly ever gets storms!?

okay you get one or two 'proper' storms a year but generally I've found london to have a little shield of its own

[Homerr]

Random strike in St Albans

[Hector the Convector]

Can see the occasional flash on this London Eye webcam http://www.guoman.com/corporate/web_cam_page.html although i'm sure there must be better cams/views on the net

[Windblade]

Strike rate from the london storm has vastly decreased these past ten minutes. Looks like its fading.

[Hurricane Debby]

Gone quiet now, I don't want it to end !

do you have an estimate of how fast or not the trough is going east

[Summer Sun]

That storm over Barnard Castle is very slow moving nearly 90 minutes since it developed
