Leicester cell looks like it's losing energy...

Interesting, it seemed slightly muffled though to be that close, but I guess it could be from the opposite side of the bagnall ridge

Such a lightshow from that Leicester storm!

i could see it from South brum garden!

[Josh Rubio]

Despite the threatening sky, the main action passed to the south and west of me. Just light to moderate rain now.

What is the threat looking like tomorrow? 

[Joshy]

All I got today, I really shouldn't complain though, I am happy for the people who got to witness the supercell West of Manchester, Hoping for more in the days to come, also does anyone know if that tornado in Todmorden Moor hit anything, would love to know, Thanks

Seeing those too, towards the NE

[Ruck Bodgers]

Seems like the storms have a desire for more Cheshire Gap action, looking at their direction!

Probably high up in the cloud, so add a few miles on!

[Ruck Bodgers]

Ah nuts, the cells have died of electrical activity, just when they were getting close!

Yep, coz they were approaching Congleton. The famous storm shield of the North West. Every storm without fail has missed us by a few miles in all directions.

Yes that's right. Still flashing and rumbling away too. Don't know if it'll come this way but still good to witness it from afar.

Dunno, I've just heard 3 more in the last 5 minutes.

[Ruck Bodgers]

Ugh never mind, disregard what I just said, I went outside and have heard multiple distant rumblings and a flash coming from the South.

We're almost encircled by storms at the moment (and the remnants of one). I'd hoped for some rain from the Southerly mass, just for some hay fever relief!

Hi, taken in Newton le Willows, Merseyside this evening looking towards Manchester.
