Radar grab at the time of that biblical (albeit short) storm just east of Peterborough.

Next time yall do a storm warning - just put “Kings Lynn.” - save us all the trouble of radar watching.

Very heavy rain here again and Thunder & Lightening.
Just back from my stroll in time.  Felt so hot in the brief sunshine.

Heavy shower, possibly a distant rumble but couldn't really tell. Anyway, the grass has had a bit of a trim and looks much better!

[TJS1998Tom]

Hope we don't end up brewing for someone else which is what tends to happen lol, but latest to my North

[TJS1998Tom]

A lot darker now, I have the funny feeling it'll pass East of us

[Guest]

Heavy shower with a few rumbles of thunder heard just skirted by to the east. Looked good in the not-so-distant distance, definite little shelf/ gust front on its leading edge  A smattering of raindrops as it brushed by here.

Everything today has passed east which is annoying, it has too much of a south westerly move

[TJS1998Tom]

These skies look impressive

Edit: Winds suddenly picked up

Indeed, wish we'd be under them though

[alexhawkins]

WHY does chesterfield always never get storms its so rare here

[TJS1998Tom]

Feels a lot cooler already, if the cell makes it it doesnt seem to have much electrical activity , I'm betting on a few rumbles of thunder at best though

[Allseasons-Si]

Saw some rotation on this cell which just passed to my SE with one rumble of thunder

i was waiting for it to drop a funnel but it didn't.

a nice Cb developing to my NE now but i don't think anything will happen this far west,all the action seems to be in the NE/E/SE of here.

Yeah, rain and wind has eased off now, its more or less still again, still shows storms in the forecast later
