If you look carefully at the direction of the current showers, they actually seem to be rotating about a centre somewhere over Lincoln way.

Indeed

Another cell gone up with some good rumbles in Telford

Four really 'deep' rumbles here. That's my cue to venture out. Stay safe folks.

Maybe Dorking, then walk up Boxhill from there, 2 or 3 miles?

Thanks for that l, I looked, checked trains, found a hotel, was about to book and thought I’d better Double check the trains and half have been cancelled so ain’t going to get up there now.

still in Rugeley? Certainly hit here last night, but missed all on Mon night

Yep, storm weakened right over me and then exploded/kept itself together towards Stafford, Stone, Stoke etc. We had distant flashes all round, but barely a decent growl of thunder and nothing more than drizzle. 
 

So frustrating and there’s zero heading our way today. 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I have a piece of a tree that was just struck about 10 mins ago. There’s a small fire and the Fb are just turning up

Looks to be another cell off to the east. Can clearly see the anvil and updraft towers, and it looks like it's moving this way.

[Captain Thunderpants]

Starting to build to our East. Probably Shaftesbury area. Doubt it'll head our way though.

Can anyone who’s smarter than me tell me if the storms near Caen and Le Havre are elevated or not?

[slinky1989]

Approaching swindon - can hear almost constant rumbles

[Superstormuk]

Any footage, updates on that giant Chiltern cell? Looks like it might have rotation.

Nice storm rolling in to Le Havre:  https://www.lehavretourisme.com/en/live-webcam 

[joggs]

Didly squat in west yorks.

Nearly cloudless.

[ilsewin]

An impressive anvil to my northeast, looks to be over Swindon maybe. Not sure, but I think I hear a few faint rumbles from that direction.

[T4Toby]

Not looking good for Swansea. Can anyone give their professional predictions?

Actually nm, just seen the webcam link - they don’t look elevated to me and so won’t survive the crossing.

At least I can attempt an early night

Aye, the bloody sun come back out, NNW facing room makes it stifling from 6pm, this area looks too far north, storm over Wolves area looks like it may die out up here
