Another one near St Albans.

Can also see the massive storm miles out west near Warwick, shame it’s not dark yet as this would be a lovely distant light show !!

[Nick1972]

Looking south from Leighton Buzzard and this has popped up in the last hour and got rumbles of thunder from it now

[Bristol Aviation]

Dont think i have ever seen such a rapid and quick ignition!

[Sparkiee storm]

This is the Midlands cell from the front.& back garden, looks pretty huge, pics don't really do justice.

[Bishop Brennan]

Almost constant rumbling in the mid-distance right now, plus a bit of rain has started to fall. It looks like the cell is sliding to the east of here.

The temperature is still hovering above 28°C

Brum, Coventry and Milton Keynes going to get a pasting....They'll be an enormous MCS inside the next hour. 

Isn't that what the Black&White gif of cloud development someone posted yesterday showed??? I think it's the same 'ignition' spot too.

[Jamie M]

Blimey.

[PurpleLED]

Can see two lovely big cells south of me,they look beautiful

Now that is a propper storm! well isolated and not part of a messy cluster, lots of lightning and affecting a location for a good amount of time.

[Paul R]

I have a decent view of the cells near St. Albans. They've grown from nothing in 30 mins and keeping growing. I think there's some good potential there.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

WOOOOW.

I can’t upload a video but it’s just a massive load of rumbles. Unbelievable

0-this in 30 minutes:

Flash Bang etc made the right call heading out.  I made the wrong call staying in.  But I'm holding out for the next few days for something a bit closer

[Bishop Brennan]

Last time I heard this sort of constant thunder in the distance was the "El Brummo" event from - I think - 2012.

[Eagle Eye]

Is that something that could have lightning down south later on

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Good thing about August, you get a bigger window of darkness for some anvil crawler spotting and decent night shows, and also sprites. 

[Hammer]

Something popping up SW of Luton.

No thunder heard yet from the cell over Hemel, however it has developed incredibly quickly. 

[Hirudine]

I can't photograph that incoming storm SE of Brum, as it's now too large for my viewfinder on my phone.

AROME is still showing explosive development around the Birmingham area tomorrow (or today as it's past midnight)

Found it! Almost the same spot and the right time!

Looks like it's going to slide just to my east, but I have an excellent view of that direction.
