Looking really good over in the east Midlands now. A lot of instability in the air. Just waiting for it to go bang.

 This cloud is growing up high and I think it s going to turn in to a full on thunderStroms

I don't think so but I do remember an earthquake a few years ago though. Only a small one. I remember a guy died because something fell on him. 

Was it an extremely hot thermometer?  

 

Edit: and because someone died

Atmosphere fully capped here in Kent. Will do the Home Counties/Midlands a lot of favours I’m sure.

Hoping we might get a detonation later or failing that a flirtatious import 

[Petorious]

Looking at a few charts etc, and just my own opinion I have drawn a little guesstimate of where things may fire up and direction. if course could be 50 or so miles north or south.

What we all recon?

Peter.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Check out these clouds!

[TJS1998Tom]

Looks like some instability to my North

[toggerob]

CB beginning to develop around the Stoke-on-Trent area, towering up above the AcCas field looking at it from here.

It was a night, I remember it waking me up. I think it was in the summer.

Sferic 43 miles to my SE. Get in.

I managed this shot from last night's storms here in Bexhill

The film ‘Casino’ always reminds me of an earthquake in the U.K.

I was watching the film and I was sat in the armchair and it gently wobbled. Also the house did a little groan. It was really eerie

Still blue skies but clouds are building a little, winds beginning to pick up

Little further North for us in Lincoln would be nice  hope it waits out till dark but doubt it

[Swansonson69]

I have a developing storm to my north east. It's beginning to really darken over there. There's some good towers over there.  

[Storm_Front_81]

I knew it looked promising over Cheshire about 30 mins ago.

I'd say a little further north looking at the radar. 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Cell near Wantage about to kick off I think

[Dangerous55019]

Towers are starting to go up around here now! 

[TJS1998Tom]

Would love to see a storm like what Newark On Trent had the other year where it started off small but then suddenly exploded out from no where hoping for scenes like that today 

[matt111]

Not the best picture with the trees in the way but can just about see this to the north. Blue skies in all other directions. 

[Tom dewey likes thunder]

The air in warminster in wilthire is unstable and it is now 26.c and very humid out side

[Weather-history]

Can see the cumuliform heads from the shower cluster to my south-south west over Cheshire.

[Chris K]

Some showers seem to be forming across some parts of SW & C/S England on radar. Most likely these will remain isolated in this area, but could chuck out a couple of surprise thundery showers as the afternoon progresses.
