This big cell is flashing like a gooden

Let’s see if they can hold it together until it reaches me. About an hour and a half I think.

Amazing rain storm over us now (including a single peel of thunder) the rain drops were HUGE, leaving a good 4cm diameter 'splash' circles on the roads/pavements, the entire sky looked like it was full of glitter! My camera phone just does not do it justice!

 The screaming at the end is the next door neighbour who decided to have her friends around for a garden party..... getting soaked  LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Jasper Foxx]

Confirmed thunder on the storm passing by Swindon at the moment. Was working on a car in Purton and had a couple of loud rumbles as it passed by. 

[Paul Sherman]

Got some lovely pics of that Maidstone Storm from the NE earlier, the Tilt on the Updraught was stunning and shows the storm was really organised will upload later

[Joshy]

The view from the back of my house in Prestatyn, no thunder yet 

[AMeltedFlake]

Will these storms survive without surface heating?

I live in Congleton, not much came of this, a light shower for about 10 seconds..hoping that anvil in the distance comes up this way

Wasn't a light shower for me

 

Also can see an Anvil to the SE, think it's heading my way, can't get a good view of it though as the storms are coming over the house from the joined side of the semi that I live in.

Bonus pic: Rainbow!!!!

Just saw a flash in my viewfinder from the Rugby cell wich is now working it`s way up the East of Birmingham

Interestingly the WRF 12 z keeps a fair bit of ml-cape going all night and keeps sbcape throughout this evening. Then it is a massive upgrade with tomorrow showing 1150 J/kg of cape tomorrow evening for my location. Also breaks out convective precip unlike it did today.

Posted a vid up above of it when it was just starting, there was a single lightning/thunder as it passed over too. Was over in about 5 mins, very fast.  Ground was dry again about 10 mins after it passed too. 

[Hirudine]

Thunder in Brum. Time to walk home!

[Arnie Pie]

Tiny baby anvil just beginning to form on a cloud directly to my East, looks like it's the one producing precipitation over Cheddleton now.

[RobR]

Small cell over Solihull was potent but has only lasted about ten mins with heavy downpours and some loud thunder.
