In some cases, updrafts cause hail and ice in the cloud to basically smash against each other causing a constant roar that could be perceived as thunder! 

Heres an example 

 

How cool is that? It could well be partly what I can hear, but another observation just now and it looks like funnels are trying to form but nothing worthy of the name just yet!

[Windblade]

Thunder getting distant now. Think it's coming from the essex cell.

[William Grimsley]

Convection starting to structure here, heavy showers just crossing to the north.

[Summer Sun]

T&L over Darlo wind has picked up and the rain has arrived

[STORMGUY]

More Thunder

[Mr_ Nexus]

Hearing thunder but seeing no strikes registering on the live maps ?

[Summer Sun]

Tipping it down now

Sky looks very dark here with intermittent sun. Just had some shotgun thunder and CG lightning Lot of loud rumbles now.

[Windblade]

Fresh strikes in southend. Looks to be separate from the other essex cell to the west.

[matt111]

Quite few mumbles in the last few minutes.

[Mr_ Nexus]

Heavy rain now , hail and T&L

First time I've seen hail in a storm this month

[Methuselah]

First visible flash of the day; the sky to the SE, S, SW and W is looking mighty promising!

[ztam]

lots of lightning through out the day, having same issue here not all strikes showing up on radars..  we had one direct over head east side of island but nothing come up on the radar.. 

[Buckster76]

Great storm going on here in Chelmsford 

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

storm just literally developed out of nowhere and now giving marble sized hail and an incredible rate of thunder!! 

[Windblade]

Yeah lots of strikes I've heard here not showing on any radar.

 

Thunder's stopped now. Cells popping up all the time so still hopeful I'll see some actual lightning today.

[poseidon]

More inbound. Pea sized hail at the moment.

[Buckster]

[Wet'n'Dry]

Where's Gordon? These storms are quite benign and for a storm hater could well be a tonic!!

[Buckster]
