April storms don’t like the M4 much

[Robert Lewis]

It's really kicking off again further west this time.

Also something building in the channel that will move towards Kent as a guess.

Yeah, the stuff over London has died off. Was firing out lightning due WSW but it's just became windy and a bit of rain.   Much cooler that's for sure.

Thunder heard just now out of nowhere, cell electrified over welwyn 

[TJS1998Tom]

Starting to rain in Middlesbrough... no thunder or lightning though

[Wilxy]

Still seeing frequent lightning to my SSE

[Jordan S]

A few distant flashes here but breezy with torrential rain.

[LB1994]

Frequent lightning and thunder now to my south

[Andy Bown]

Constant thunder and frequent lightning moving in from the SSW for the second time in 5 hours!

yep, I;m watching that from my back garden....its getting closer!

[Thunderstruck]

Now looking like only rain here tonight now. Shame, but not the end of the world.

There were certainly some corkers out there tonight, and I’m happy for those of you who got the chance to enjoy them.

Just driven back on the M1, not much thunder but plenty of lightning.

Looks like some more activity is heading your way as we speak?

Plenty of lightning to my NE and SE. But alas, I managed to find the gap for the second time. lol

Still 15°

Thinking there might be a round 3... ?

[matt111]

Yet again I can hear rumbles. This time from the west. 

[LB1994]

As quickly as that developed its gone completely quiet again

Edit: huge fork just came down in front of me from nowhere lol

Who happened to be in the blue bit moi? Bah a flash and bang a good 10 seconds after must have been some distance away some drizzle it’s fantastic, first of year at least waited over 6 months for that. 

[Mesoscale]

Had some nice lightning around Watford, one was pretty close. Best April storm I have ever witnessed here, reminiscent of Summer storms. Not quite as violent as the summer storms but better then I could have ever imagined. 

[Norfolk Sheep]

I think the last time I heard thunder in April was about 20yrs ago haha. Doubt if I'll hear it this year either! South coast looked good fun this evening though  Roll on July...August...whenever....

[TJS1998Tom]

THUNDER finally

[Gruber]

In Oxford. Got to see the storm over Gloucester from quite a distance. Saw quite a few flashes as it moved from my west to north of here. Quite disappointing as, I was surrounded at one point, but everything just fizzled out.

Anyone else watching the amazing show from those cells over Wilts?

the skies have cleared and I can see the anvils lighting up. It’s beautiful

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Wow I’m surprised nobody else can see this!

[convector]

Is it just me or does this cell to the SW look like a supercell?
