Can see that cell from here producing lightning occasionally  . Just missed us here , but it only seems a matter of time now .

What's just hit the south south east of Brighton looks tasty!

thunder and lightning here and the cat is lying on the garden lawn

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Given the path of the mid/west Norfolk storm, we could do with something deeloping around the Dedham Vale/Stour estuary area.

Finally, after 2 months it's rained here! 

 

 

[stainesbloke]

More thunder here, going dark again

Here in Ashford, so far, it looks as if the storms will pass either side of us *sigh*

Noooo  The storms will expand eastward and slowly push over later. Best guess - 7pm.

Watch the area of storms north of Paris. This will merge with everything further west and push up NE.

I’m just watching the planes going into Heathrow from Wimbledon? Where did you see this?

Steady rain along the coast in Shoreham, but no thunder...

[Zesyph]

Still no rain here in East London but very dark out there. It's got to happen some time soon right

I see them coming out on my side I was standing with my mum and girlfriend at the park and now there are no planes.. Then a second one went over and as it went over there was more lightning.. Coincidence? I don't know 

[Djdazzle]

Meanwhile, reports of Tibenham at 36.2C?

An aircraft moving through the air can help trigger it.

Sounds plausible.  UEA weather station has shown 33-34 all afternoon - 33.1C now.

Dodgy curry?

T-storms just to the west of me at the moment!

 

[saint]

Distant thunder off to the south west and about ten spots of rain so far... I'll take it!
