Rain with mostly blue sky. Really big blobs of rain as well.

Looking at the base of it from here all the way to the top, some mammatus was trying to pop out but there's convective rain shadowing those. Dark with shafts of rain down to ground-level but haven't seen any lightning from it yet.

[MartinD]

We have blue sky here in Worcester and nothing stormy looking to our South East but it's really warm and very humid.... Just needs that little spark but sadly i think we are a little to far south today ;-(

[PolarWarsaw]

I can see the storm heading for Cannock, out of my window. It looks mean. The rumbling is constant, it's going to be a miss for us but a great storm for anyone in its path. The rumbling isn't stopping, there is no gap.

Cell east of Lincoln could make a push this way.

[The PIT]

Dying shower slowly approaching and reaching the shredder should be gone by the next update of the radar.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Very impressive radar returns from the storms over Birmingham and the Black Country.

Fingers crossed, I'm a few miles out from Lincoln in one of the villages, so hopefully it doesnt skim pass us

[Swansonson69]

I think the cap is breaking down. I see new cells popping up, gradually popping further and further north east. Looking good. 

[TJS1998Tom]

Just hoping for a big storm to explode near the area out from no where

[TJS1998Tom]

All so far is quiet...

[ChezWeather]

To far North East, looks like ConvectiveWeather got it spot on today

[Swansonson69]

I got the feeling that line is going to explode into action any time soon.
