Lots of thunder rumbling for the past 45 mins in the Wrexham area. Not seen any lightning yet. So humid it’s unbearable. 

[Dangerous55019]

This is really weird... This storm is more or less right over me, and yet we have no rain! 

[Pursuer of Storms]

Something's cooking over MK!

We had a massive deluge of rain just before the thunder started and it was stopping and starting like someone was turning a tap on and off lol

I think an on-shore breeze has developed; Temperature dropped from 26.8 to 22.2°C. Might be game over.

 Really fresh now.

Sadly I think it has @Chris.R 

[Chris.R]

 All lightning within 50 miles has stopped just like that. The Irish sea, the old enemy.

We’ve now got ‘normal rain’ here @SarahWxm... But sadly it looks like the electrical side has now died. 

But it was a pleasant little storm whilst it lasted. 

[Chris.R]

 Wait, what was that. 

[Cambridgeshire Weather]

Still lively in Ireland! Looks like they have died in the UK but still some potential for tonight when the storms potentially aloft

Dry here now but still clammy and clouds really ominous looking. Not thundered for a bit now. Was a decent bit of thunder - did you get any lightning?

There is a band of high cloud spreading from the east which could well be snuffing out these showers/storms.

[Chris.R]

 19.9°C now, it feels freezing.
