Haven't heard a thing yet!

More near Bath...and it's hardly the most active storm right now I suppose.

I see one's got going between Sutton Coldfield and Tamworth...that's a little further south than some of the others. So it may be worth keeping an eye and ear out after all here.

Edit: Cannock now as well.

Also worth noting that the CZ is expected to slide a touch south as over the next few hours, so where storm development is tied to this zone can expect storms further south late afternoon/evening.

[Gordon Webb]

met office have issued warnings for where activity is , looks like this time they're bit behind events

Just started raining here for the first time this week. Some bright echoes on the radar coming this way.

[ancientsolar]

looks like something may go bang North of Plymouth.. thought it was just going to be a bunch of drizzle

[ChezWeather]

Nice little storm there, and the first of the year for me, with possibility of more on its way

[PeteG]

After a brief lull more heavy rain and thunder is approaching from the WSW. Just had the loudest clap of thunder of the afternoon.

Except here until later.

[Darren Bown]

Typical, the day I'm indoors all day, it kicks off! I didn't hear any thunder (been near Lymm). Heading back home and skies don't look great, still humid and warm though.

[Gord]

Really dark to my immediate north...

...come on, just slip that little bit further south!
