A fairly big cell just tracked South to North across the extended centerline for Heathrow. Didn't seem to phase the Flight crew flying right through and under it.  Quite a fair bit of muck floating around the London Airspace at the moment.

Not looking very inspiring for the west midlands again, cant even get any convective, heavy rain here which i would be happy with at this point! If you other guys are wondering why we have been moaning so much, then check out the maps posted by xSnow of 2017's blitzortungs maps combined on page 87 of our regional thread, unbelievable!

Yep, that would've been the one I was directly under on that remarkable night. Constant non stop thunder and strobe lighting with plenty of hail and extreme rain thrown in too, with minor flash flooding in parts. Went on for a total of 7 hours! 

That was also the first real night storm for about 7 years, which made it seem even better! 

Edit: actually, I do remember the evening one you are on about that developed around Leicester and pushed due north over EMA, Nottingham and up into South Yorkshire. That had some of the biggest cloud tops I've ever witnessed personally, so no surprise that there was copious amounts of lightning in that thing! Despite being over Leics/Notts, it looked like it was only over somewhere like Melton Mowbray or Corby, so that just shows how high those tops were! 

That's correct. A storm developed around Oxfordshire during the evening and pushed north across the East Midlands. I met it not far from the M1 Junction 26 and it was flashing once every couple of seconds with hail and torrential rain. The storm was elevated and so the thunder was not particularly loud. I chased it as far as Mansfield before leaving it to trundle off into Yorkshire. This was the precursor to an evening of widespread and strong thunderstorms. 

@LightningLover I assume Dan is going add in some text to the forecast. Maybe he selected to post before he had finished it :D

Sheffield Storm shield dusting itself off however it reckons it can leave things to the Sheffield shower shredder to deal with any thundery showers instead.

We had a 10-minute heavy shower about an hour ago, no thunder though. But yet again it's kicking off in the east....

Looks like some moderate rain moving into the region soon, thankfully there are still 2 months left where conditions do still have potential to develop some nasty storms.
