Convective Storm/Discussion thread - 11/06/16 onwards

[Darren Bown]

Just had a big bolt pretty close. Thunder sounded like a CG.

[Mapantz]

Very dark all around here, with thunder. I'm not sure which direction as I'm watching the football and don't want to move. Heavy rain now.. Watch sky go down! lol

[Polar Maritime]

Some nice clouds bubbling up here to my N/E

[Marcus_surfer]

Few thunderstorms in the area, Torrential downpours and gusty winds and some big cracks of thunder

[Mapantz]

Torrential rain and a nasty goal. 

[andymusic]

lovely blackness to my south and a rumble of thunder

[Chrystal]

Groundhog Day lol 

[matt111]

Haven't heard any more thunder but it's come over dark to the west. 

[Alicol]

Finally after watching streams of storms gliding past my little part of the world the sky's gone so dark - spookily around the same time as Bale hammered that goal in

Not sure what the air is over england and wales this week to cause these afternoon eruptions but could easily have been in the same storm situation if we we're in the mix as to speak but hasn't happened. Our time will come i'm sure

[William Grimsley]

Just had a spectacular overhead thunderstorm here! Heavy rain, several bright flashes of lightning and loud claps of thunder! I am so happy!

Afternoon all

Just had a stroll around the garden to get rid of the frustration of england going down 1- 0 to wales, and heard some rumbles to my South. After checking the radar there appears to be quite a nice cell building. Just South of Boston.

[Darren Bown]

Having a pretty bad storm now. Rain nothing special but lightning every minute and loud rumbles of thunder.

[stainesbloke]

Very disappointing day here, grey skies all day so far but little rain or anything thundery. Cool yet again too.

[Chris K]

Everything just dies off as it approaches Bristol region from the North haha...

[dragon falls]

My god that was heavy rain in Cardiff city centre suns coming out again .

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Why does nothing except light stuff develop around my area, absolutely crap.

[Lincs Observation]

looks like the cell to my south is tracking Nw beyond me and heading toward Sleaford.

Turning into a dry ish afternoon here. Nothing seems to be forming in a large zone to our north east. Why? 

[A.J]

storms, what storms?......dry all day with unthreatening skies....hard to believe that there have been a rash of storms in central/southern england today 

[Chris.R]

Thunder, at last, to the Northeast

Wait? Don't forget here? Still lots of thunder rumbling around to the NE and SE here!

Nothing directly IMBY, but certainly some vicious looking rain cores in the storms to my South West and South at the moment. Could hear distant booms of thunder but they quickly faded as they moved steadily south east.One thing I have noticed over the last few convective days, there were (and still are) some very high rainfall totals within the core of the cells.

[Alison Jeffrey]

Just got home and absolutely dark navy skies away to the E and I just heard a very faint rumble of Thunder.

Lots of huge cauliflower clouds around too.

[TropicThunder]

Finally we have thunder here!
