Good call on the SW activity. Plenty of beefy showers on the radar now

Yellow box covering the entire UK. Apart from the eastern coastal areas, probably as far inland as Norwich to Thetford. Typical.d

Feels hotter than it did earlier, clouds are breaking and the sun is coming out... not expecting anything but fingers crossed lol

Well in.  Probably too far west for me though.

Good afternoon @Chris.R 

Its coming up from the south mate.

But the thunder is now getting more frequent and louder.

Well i'm in Wolves and i didn't hear anything, plus there is no raindrops falling out of that little shower, which right over the top of my location (or very close).

It wouldn't of come from that cell over Wolverhampton , would of been from the storm over Shrewsbury .

It was very distant , more of a crack than a rumble . 

Definitely thunder though , I've heard enough thunder in my lifetime (46 years) to know when a sound is thunder

Rochester cell isn't going anywhere fast, could be some flooding from that, preying it doesn't come this way  Half way digging out a iron pole in the garden don't need it flooded!

And it looks like it's on the move! I better get digging.

There's a Rochester cell? Where? Looks like it's going to rain but hot and sunny now.

[TJS1998Tom]

Could this be thundery or likely to be normal rain... thoughts? (Taken from WXCHARTS)

[Chris.R]

Sun has been out properly for awhile now; temp has risen to 25.7°C. Strikes only 20 miles away now.

Just to the north of rochester, not thundery but looking like torrential rain or hail, and moving northwards

I'm not accusing you of not knowing what thunder sounds like, it's just that i heard nothing, and i am 48 years old i too know that sound, sorry.

I can see it. It certainly looks ominous by my head remains dry here.

[DIS1970]

That small shower looks to be expanding at the moment, and it may start raining shortly.

[Chris.R]

 26.3°C now, about 5°C warmer than forecast so there should be more CAPE around. 

[Thunderstruck]

Looks like that cell in Kent is heading my way. That formed out of nowhere... 

[Cambridgeshire Weather]

Gone up to a very warm 25 Celsius in the sunshine showing on the app, thermometer showing 27.9 Celsius though  off to the beach

What way is it heading?

I think North

[Chris.R]

 Prestatyn area looks like it’s getting battered. Everything just a little too West still as I thought at the moment.

 Still blazing sunshine.  

[Scott Page]

blazing sunshine in Congleton again...still not a single rumble of thunder in 2018

[Dangerous55019]

The storm appears to have honed in on Caerwys. 

[Chris.R]

Just hit 80°F for the first time since Sunday. 26.8°C. 

[Jan]

Sat out in the garden enjoying the hot sunshine, waiting for something, anything to happen. A black cloud right above me as I type

 

[Supacell]

A very much shortened video of the chase I went on back last Sunday (27th May). Very much shortened as the total edited footage amounts to just over 2 hours!

I now have 4+ hours of footage to edit from yesterday's storm around Cheltenham and then last nights storms over the Cotswolds.

Dangers over, no rumbles/flashes, just a handful of raindrops. Still quite warm 21.8C, peaked at 23.7C.
