No wonder it's so severe in Wales and the SW Midlands. This is a snapshot of surface winds over the UK

Look at all those various wind directions. Northerlies over Wales, Southerlies over SW England and easterlies over the rest of England. Also there appears to be an independent rotational feature showing up too, maybe due to supercell action.

Got to say, everyone who goes out to capture pictures of the lightning i admire because I would not be brave enough to do it. So good on all of you☺☺

Even the tiniest hint of mammatus here on the back edge.

Been watching your storm as it developed a few miles away from me and heard a good few rumbles as it moved off. Looked like a decent one.

Looks like the Solihull storm has largely passed. No shotgun thunder from that but some impressive lightning and continued rumbles.

Problem with the storm in the channel is that most of the lightening is staying to the french coastline

Great photos, is that right now ?

 

It’s moving in rapidly, just got hit by the wind, so of course the seagull are going mad. Poor guy behind me struggled to tie his sail

that centre of rotation is about 10 miles to my East

Wow just had a really massive crack of thunder just now. Maybe the loudest of any storm here or near so far in this thundery spell of weather.

Doesn't lightning get attracted to high objects most of the time and since the channel is basically all the same height and as far away as you can get from the base of the storm. It may be a good thing for you if the energy builds then unleashes again on our side of the channel.

Don't see too many doubles this way, guessing it was the Winchester area mentioned earlier.

Now very dark and breezy, and the birds look confused.
