I’m gonna have to move to Manchester or something. I must surely live in one of the most stormless parts of the country post 2007.

Looks like it could be the top of the Reading cell.

[Calayte]

Can see the tops of the Wales cell here in Birmingham. It looks incredible.

[Jeffers146]

Here’s hoping for a storm in Lincoln..... however I think I’m wishful thinking. What’s the chance for us?

Wales cell looks like a splitter with the left side stronger now.

Is this the mid Wales cell that I can see here from Wrexham, north Wales?? If so, it’s huge!!

I can see it from here in Stoke on Trent, and it's definitely getting closer....  Looks like a good ol' American Supercell, looks Bootiful

Cells over Coventry and the Anvil from Wales both visible from here, will post pics soon.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

So I was just leaving Amersham when that High Wycombe cell grew out of nowhere. Literally darkened as I went from one roundabout to another and the rain was absolutely mad!

Sadly at that moment I passed a potentially very serious accident on the southbound M40. Vehicle looks like it’s flipped

M40 completely locked up for about a mile up to the Marlow 404 junction. Northwards it’s fine. Just careful if you’re chasing (or just driving) in that area.

Stopped in Gt Missenden to see if I can hear any thunder but the cell hasn’t electrified yet

[Garfmort]

The cell over Coventry heading straight for me in Leicester

Watlington hill's a great place to watch. It also looks like it might head that way

wow!

THUNDER

[Hirudine]

I'm assuming this is from the Coventry storm, as it roughly east.

[Eskimo]

Can see the cap holding pretty firm here in the west midlands. Towers going up and dissipating all the while. 

Welsh storm blocking out the evening sunshine here now.

That Wales cell is massive!

[slinky1989]

I can see the west London cell from Swindon - looks very active and can see it growing.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

A couple of loud booms from aft Missenden  cell
