Unbelievable same areas downpour come to a standstill an unprecedented wet last 24 hours for them!

Well what the radar is picking up over Dover, not a drop is reaching the ground still. 

At last, we have rain, still no thunder though.

Somme reasonably close rumbles from this 'storm' 5 counted,the rest very distant.

Torrential rain.

[minus10]

Dark skies and rumbles to north east of london now. Atmosphere still. Calm before the storm feeling. Arge area forming on radar  Rain just started.

[Norfolk Sheep]

I'm never one to exagerrate storm activity but constant rolling thunder here, some distance away, I can only guess it's the ex-Thetford storm? Definitely not aircraft!

[Captain Shortwave]

The anvil from that storm is just about visible here to the east/north east. Unsure if any part of it is actually going to hit here but there is a nasty line of very intense rainfall on the western edge.

The sun is out here a little, temperature 23c, dew point 20c....

Oh look at it all, to the f**ing west of the region. 

[stainesbloke]

Areas of heavy rainfall are developing rapidly and moving up from the SE...will they turn thundery?

[nanu]

 if that white/red tsuff keeps developing in that line on current course... i could be in trouble!   wanted rain,, but not that much

[stainesbloke]

Quite explosive development to the E of Kent, all moving NW towards E Anglia....will they develop further? Storms firing over N France too, as the clag has cleared there

[Dami]

Got thunder.

[Matty88]

It feels like I'm in the perfect position today at last  just finished with a brief but terrential downpour. Looks like plenty on the horizon! Sun now out and feels steaming hot. Today has made up for the past 4 days without a doubt! Could be a great days storms for EA

[Captain Shortwave]

Lots of thunder now, some low cloud based on this.

Nice little storm here in Codicote.

Not too much rain, just steady, but plenty of rumbles

Still very murky here, some thunder in the distance and still no rain.

[Captain Shortwave]

Hurling it down, garden not coping with this amount of rain, constant inter-cloud lightning. This would have looked good at night.

Nothing in South Norwich, sun breaking through but humid. Blue sky above me. 

[Paul1968]

Spotty rain,calm winds and 23c.No thunder

[Captain Shortwave]

First storm through, not sure whether another will make it here as low cloud has piled in behind that cell.

[Soaring Hawk]

Big thunderstorm here. Still ongoing with definitely no garden watering required today  

I notice the torrential rain has created a sense of humour in my normally sensible weather station.
