[Thunderstruck]

Looking on radar, there's some bright echoes out in the Channel. It might not be over yet for you over to the West. Not yet electrified but worth keeping an eye on

[Harsh Climate]

Oh my were up to 50/min

Just had a rumble that sounded like it was to the S&E of here. 

EDIT: another crack of thunder just then!

Thunder now heard. Strange sound though. Not rumbles, just short sharp bangs even at a distance!

Heard a rumble of thunder about 40 or so minutes ago but did not appear on the sferics. From the cell that went north of Manchester.

Quote dark again out in the channel. 

[Carl46Wrexham]

Frequent menacing rumbles to the E/NE. Very very dark in that direction as well.

 It had better not all go to my east.

I heard that sort of thunder as a kid, I was about 10 yrs old, I have never heard anything like it since, but I remember it was a very severe storm (I'm 52 now)!!!

But I remember that sound like it was yesterday.....!!!

Horrible feeling it's gonna lose its oomph before it reaches us Harsh?!?!

[carl1980]

Nice cc lightning some booming thunder in the distance 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Well I can definitely say the best storm I've had in a fair while. Frequent thunder and lightning....saw a nice CG

[Shane Wheeldon]

So close :-(

[matt_in_dudley]

Cracking little storm that was! Lots of lightning and thunder. Sun has come out now.

[Weather-history]

Sky to my south is really dark. Getting darker.

[Speedway Slider]

Is Leicester in danger of a side swipe...?

Not sure, but stranger things have happened .....

 

 

[TheToastPeople]

I really hope these will stick around after dark!!

[Speedway Slider]

Going gradually dark here, not a well defined mother ship, but a definate edge between sunny/stormy areas......

[Darren Bown]

Keep hearing rumbles, but I think the worst will go east of here...

[Paul]

Going to be a tricky drive home for some this evening!

[A.J]

Going quite dark looking out towards the Goyt, already a few rumbles heard here. The last chance of some good-storm action of the summer is hopefully arriving on the doorstep within the next half-hour.
