Heavy rain here in Aylesbury rain bouncing of the roads but no lightning like there was in London and Kent 

[Frosty hollows]

Heavy rain and loud rumbles of thunder here.  Quite unexpected as I thought lightning activity had died out as the storm moved west

[jtay]

N'owt doing on that Salisbury cell that popped near Win.

No flashes, no bangs, just moderate rain.

[jy]

Yes jtay worked all day and got soaked,but looking at the SE thread,quite a bit of thunder about,not that far away but quite different.

 

[lettice]

Although its been grey here and a couple of moderate rain spells at 8-9am and midday, the afternoon has been dry and has been 18-19c, with a high in the last hour of 19.5c.

Must say it was good weather this afternoon for a bit of gardening and planted out 50 leeks.

[A.J]

the stuff over the home counties and SE England looks to be weakening considerably on radar....still some embedded convection especially on the southern/SE flank......I'm not entirely sure what to expect here.....we've a total low cloud cover all day so no visibilty of what's incoming....feeling quite cool

Hello jy. Hope all is well with you, soaking aside.

Yes, it looks quite tasty to the East.

Still, we did OK over the weekend. I got my own soaking taking those snaps above. Great fun.

 

 

[Wiltshire_snow_lover]

Well today has been dull with a bit of drizzle.

[Frosty hollows]

Cool and soggy here. 8mm rain in the last 3 hours. A couple of rumbles of thunder but that was it for us

[matt111]

No rain at all here this afternoon let alone and storms. Still warm when the suns out although it’s been mostly cloudy. 18.9°C. 

[fromey]

What a rubbish day, more like early autumn than late spring/ early summer 

[A.J]

yup....cloudy cool & drizzly yet again....the worst 'summery' spell I've ever experienced....all the nice juicy stuff near london just fell apart to nothingness as it arrived........I actually long now for some atlantic weather, some interesting weather for a change

[Evening thunder]

We did get a coupe of thunderstorms on Saturday evening with brief downpours, though not as intense as some parts of the country saw.

It reached 26.1C yesterday with some cumulus bubbling around, but no storms formed.

Generally cloudy today, with a maximum of 20.3C.  Still 17.7C at 23:35 though.

I don't really think there will be any thunderstorms this way tonight but maybe some rain with heavy outbreaks embedded. You never know though.

[Mapantz]

I've just found these on a video from my new PTZ camera;

 

That must have been a huge flash, but I don't remember seeing it.

And another..

I don't remember seeing any of that! There was not thunder though, that's for sure.

[ThundersnowDays]

Sharp showers are forming out of nowhere here but they are only very short. 

[CheesepuffScott]

Raining here for the past half hour with frequent moderate-heavy bursts
