All stopped now, but distant thunder. I suspect here in NW London we will be too far east for any remaining action this afternoon (which tallies with the warning update). Still, if proven right several more days of potential storm activity to come !

[BarnetBlizzard]

 pretty much as close as you can get

I don't think I've heard this much of a constant rumbling of thunder in my life.. Seems somewhere a little south west from here is really getting some (-: so we'll prob miss this one.  But for anyone missing out so far rest assured these come out of nowhere just look at sat24 clouds

Goodluck

The cell appears to be expanding around us as thought it had passed through but now gone very dark and rain is hammering down

[UxbridgeSnow]

Must be in one of the few spots Between the multiple cells, can hear the odd rumble, but not a drop.of.rain  or thunderstorm . Currently 28.2°c @67% humidity inside the house, and 34^c at Northolt/35°c at Heathrow. Phew it's hot

Dry air trapped has been capping the atmosphere in the SE for the last few days. You can have all the ingredients there, but if you can't take the lid off, it can't go bang!

Indeed. Some of the most severe storms I've ever seen have come from much lower temperatures, like in the low-mid twenties, but with a lower trigger point.

[Mesoscale]

Constant thunder here but is very elevated with no visible lightning.

[SMU]

What a total toss year its been for kent storms

[Uxbridge90]

Can hear thunder all around but other than that it's nothing special.

Exactly the same. 

[Snow Shoes]

a 2nd cell seems to have formed behind the first and now just moving over us. You wait months for a storm to arrive and then 2 come along in a row. Hopefully everyone else who are currently missing out will get their fair share today as well.

Constant rumbling here in Stevenage too, very bizarre! 

[Mesoscale]

Just had a really close strike.

[Mark wheeler]

Constant rumbling the last 15 mins or so .

[Dami]

looking at a dark sky but nothing heard.

[Bogman]

One huge thunderclap as the storm skirted around Potters Bar. Nearly.

[Electricmumma]

If there is anywhere one could reach on a train, from East Sussex, with something like a Travelodge, that looks like a good possibility of a storm either direct or near enough to watch/listen.. where would it be? I have two excited young storm enthusiasts who are dying to see something, but without a car I’m a bit stuffed.

Looks like the weather gods are mugging me off as usual. Winter or summer, doesn’t matter!

Just got back from Lidl... I never thought that a two-hundred-yard round trip, could take so long! Then again, with the average velocity of a speeding snail, journeys can be very long indeed...

I can't take much more of this filthy weather: lethargy is driving me mad!

[Captain Shortwave]

To think I went for a little drive this afternoon and got as far south as Baldock. If it wasn’t for the Mrs and little one I should driven to South Mimms and waited for it all to kick off.

[10 Days Away]

Beer o' clock I reckon as no storms around here to chase again.

[Mesoscale]

The storm matured North of here and is spitting cgs like mad, some positve.
