The Met Office earlier issued two yellow alert warnings of thunderstorms

Well that thunderstorm died as soon as it had formed, and now there's a large clear slot to the southeast. I guess today was always going to be a bonus - perhaps tomorrow and Thursday have better chances for this neck of the woods.

Earlier today i went into Shropshire to follow the storm around Tenbury & Ludlow areas but it fizzled out so everything calmed after that... 4 hours chasing storms but coukd only see lots surrounding us. Maybe later or tomorrow I'll have better luck eh?

A frankly pathetic effort from those cells to my SE, fire up, one or two strikes, then die off.

Classic example of pulse or 'popcorn' storms though!

Not hear much Thunder or seen any lightning yet, doesn't appear to be much showing on the radar atm apart from a few strikes here and there

Some nice photos I got of a cell that passed over me just under an hour ago. No thunder, however I believe there was rotation. 

Edit: this is the cell that is passed over Reading around 20 mins ago.

That storm is over me. I thought it stopped,  then started up again and changed direction.  It's certainly more West than NW now. It's lost a bit of its intensity tho

Finally caught up Christ!!! it is busy in here

I love how that Leicester storm is hugging the M1

am i going to be third time lucky today?

@Weather-history,great captures mate,i bet you are a happy bunny

@Supacell,are you staying put,storm coming to you.

 

I headed out and met the Leicester cell just north of Loughborough. As it approached was constantly rumbling but with no visible lightning. It appeared it was not moving far so rather than risking missing it as it died in situ I chose to drive into it.

Being under it I couldn't get out and video it as the rain was torrential. At one point I could barely see where I was driving. Roads quite baldly flooded too. Under the storm the lightning was visible but mostly flashing in the clouds. That apart from one close CG that hit to the side of my car and was like a bomb going off. I did not capture the bolt but I would be very surprised if the sound wasn't captured.

Not a bad start. Now near to the A50/A38 junction debating heading up the M1 for the Newark cell or hanging around to see what new cells near to Coventry choose to do.

Can hear very distant rumbles from the Burnham on Sea cell but it’s moving away.

Despite the unconvincing radar (though looking SE the radar is more encouraging for here) the skies lok pretty thundery with some towering cumulus. 22C and 70% humidity.

Still a few hours yet and more cells are appearing around Lincolnshire, just lightning isn't as frequent as it is in the West at the moment, still seeing the shelf cloud earlier was impressive

This is an insane spell of weather and takes me back to around 2009 where we had humid, thundery spells.
