BBC forecast just warned of 'big thunderstorms' on Sunday...Or was that Saturday?

[Thunderstruck]

constant thunder from the Herts cell. Still fairly distant though and very slow moving.

Looks fairly static to me suggestive of a CZ. Could present flooding issues.

I prefer to call them 'tablets' Moki - much more hi-tech IMO?

Where's Lassie gone BTW?

[Harry]

Secondary cell over C/N London in full swing now. Definite surface based and kicking out (I think) distant rumbles. 

More towers going up behind in a line. Let's hope that line can keep back building and head this way.

[Sparkiee storm]

Wonder if anything will come from those developing in Wales as some seem to have popped up from nothing.

Lol, he's ok back soon .

[TJS1998Tom]

It's annoying as I can see it looks like things are building up here but it's a couple of miles North and it looks to be moving away from me, just whether something will come out from it or not

[IMP757]

Rapid development just north east of Uttoxeter!

[Harry]

Will stop posting for a while now - wanted to share the lovely vertical updraught the London cell has. It's changing so rapidly so no longer looks like this 

[The PIT]

Stuff to south of me has done it's normal fizzling out as it approaches.

[Milocation]

Underexposed so towers can be seen, first is of my North, second my south and third is a tower approaching me

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I'm in Bovinger near chipping ongar. London cell headed this way!

[Stephanie Starr]

Im in spalding lincolnshire nothing at all here very hot. Come on storms give us a show 

[Thunderstruck]

Oh hello!

Just looked outside and there's a massive grey anvil looming over me!

Although my nearest precipitation is all the way over NE London, certainly looking promising
