Earlier storm cleared the air nicely, it's lovely here at Twickenham.

Wasps 10-14 Exeter at half time for those wondering

Do you have a link to the page for that?

Something odd going on with NW's strike count, only showing 18000 or so!

[TJS1998Tom]

Shame here in Pickering, North Yorkshire the main storm missed us but it was interesting to see it build up in the distance

[NUT]

Round 2 is on pretty much as expected not so dark skies but rain is pretty intense

[mikeyd]

Plenty of distant rumbles but still bright and dry at Bassenthwaite (despite what the rain radar suggests)  I like the look of the recent activity South West of me though, might make it over the hills.

 

[Guest]

Had a blast at Scotch Corner - they've got round 2 coming up but I'm further south now admiring the Ripon cell from a distance - it looks particularly severe on the radar!

[Mokidugway]

Rain of tropical intensity odd rumbles

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Glad to see some areas get a round of storms that usually suffer, I.e Cornwall and Scotland/Cumbria etc. I've not heard a rumble yet lol. All eyes on tomorrow night for the south. 

[MrNooo]

Nothing here either, be interesting to see what crops up tomorrow

 

[Wilxy]

Last night was great, thing I love about storms is that you forget all your worries and just watch how great nature can be and what made last night even better was that it was very widespread across the SW which is very rare and have not seen for a long time and that storm over Plymouth last night was insane and could see the lightning from Weston Super Mare the flashes was every 2 sec at one point and fingers crossed we have another opportunity tomorrow night as well!

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Still all just to the east of me, so frustrating when it looked like we were on for a good hit!

The skies have unleashed themselves here in the last hour it's pretty soggy outside

Aye the two big cells have merged over Glasgow, typical luck for me.

Don't worry there's plenty of rain coming up for you to enjoy : ))
