That mass approaching Bristol and N Somerset seems to be weakening drastically while everything around it strengthens. Frustrating to say the least!

Give it a chance - only early afternoon yet - front seems to be springing into life as it comes into the centre of Somerset - could be an interesting afternoon for you yet

[Neilsouth]

BOOM!! Thunderstorm over Herne Bay

That does seem to be where the activity is going. Don't want it too far south though - Bristol/N Somerset would be ideal.

Some nice activity in mid wales today, heard a distant grumble from a storm looking towards Machynlleth.

the ones behind this initial front have more punch I think and bigger tops - take a look on sat24

 

although right now Swansea, Llanelli and Snowdonia seem to be having all the fun

had some interesting cloudscapes here today so far and a torrential downpour an hour or two ago.

 

Hoping something still kicking around in a few hours when i get home from work so i can take out the GoPro

[dec10snow]

A good few rumbles and some heavy rain, with large drops is what that storm produced here, nice taster for tomorrow hopefully....

View from Blackwood towards heads of valleys .. Vicious!!

[ChezWeather]

Some strong radar echos over Lincolnshire, something is developing right overhead here also

[Chris.R]

Ok  The second downpour has passed, and  it was even bigger than the first one. I have recorded 28 mm of rain. No lightning.

[Mapantz]

There's been some extraordinary localised rainfall totals across England and Wales so far this month, some have had more rainfall in two minutes than I have had in 15 days. 

[dec10snow]

Potentially round two sat to my northwest...? Currently not electrified though, unfortunately!

[andymusic]

Lots of potential - smells are right - even got my thunder head headache on - but nothing yet

edit:- strike close to me on the map - maesteg way possibly - so could be coming my way now

Still sat in a pronounced gap of anything here in north Bristol, though looks like the spits and spots that went over at lunchtime have intensified south of Bristol. Trying my best to stay patient.

[TheToastPeople]

Lots of showers west towards milton keynes, Im ready to chase but there needs to be more lightning for it to be worth while. Fingers crossed for everyone!

[andymusic]

pressure headache getting really bad now - so a strike in these parts is imminent - lol

[William Grimsley]

Finally, we've just had a thunderstorm!

[Costa Del Fal]

Centre of the low pretty much directly overhead here, evident on the radar too as everything circling this area. So fairly dry for now but this area perhaps coming into play later on today.

[Chris.R]

Sun is out again.  Hopefully that will help build some more stuff.
