Well that was absolutely torrential, no thunder mixed in but probably the heaviest rain I have seen for some time. Still going strong but more normal now. Worst lasted about an hour

@Flash bang flash bang etc There looks like there was a storm near you, could you see any lightning or hear any thunder?

No looks a lot closer on the map that it actually is. Also there’s a main road outside our flat and we’re kind of in a valley. All died off for now

Looks like some towers to me, (pic taken in Witney roughly Oxford direction) 

 

Not sure whether it has sufficient time but the sun is out as well so could have have some surface heating at play. 

 

Edit: pics were taken at 2x zoom, looked much bigger in person also have definitely grown since the pictures.

*Sigh*

Going crazy as soon as it hits EA. Meanwhile we’re getting what is probably the last decent shower of the day.

TBH I would rather the sun just came out and stayed out.

I assume nobody lives in Norfolk, or east London - judging by the reaction to those storms in here

Since it's sunset soon, I will be hoping for some distant light shows.

Taken viewing over Braydon Water in Great Yarmouth. This wasn't me Credit: Simon Luckman.

A bit of a strange one from my perspective, nice cloudscapes. First rain came through and no thunder, an hour later some fairly frequent thunder from a cell north of me. Then the cell that went over us didn't thunder at all during the heavy rain. It passed and then I heard a couple of rumbles. Later when it got dark thinking that it was all over, heard another rumble and then hit by heavy rain. No lightning seen today.

I purposely didn't say anything about it cause I wanted to get at least one natural opinion without prompt. I also agree. I have recorded the radar imagery for that period between 6.45 and 7pm which was when the pics had been taken. Simon has sent all his footage to Torro.

Any chance of seeing or hearing anything thundery tonight? I see there’s a front approaching from the West.

Keep your eyes out for tomorrow mate. It looks like a decent day tomorrow with many models showing a sign of some thunderstorms in the Midlands and southern England.
