Hope the hills round here perk it up lol. Looks grey towards your way atm. 

Yep, there is now a second cell as part of the line east of Shrewsbury now still producing regular thunder so its evolving all the time.

Yeah it seems to have perked up round Oswestry. Skies black in the distance and just heard first boom of thunder

Looks like I'm too far East for this one, if it was dark I'd probs see lightning from a distance. Unless more are due tonigh t 

guess we will miss todays fun

[DIS1970]

Gonna take a miss on this one now i think, shall keep an eye on it though.

Can see some really large towers going up to my south through the hazy muck.  We also seem to be under some really high level, icy anvil crud that looks like it's being blown towards us from the mass of storms to the SW.  Temps also seem to have stalled around 27/28C.

That Snowdonia storm is getting very little attention on here. It looks incredibly active. You watch it go to the Isle of Man and give them their third big thunderstorm of the season!

Nothing came bar thicker cloud unfortunately however we are at least in the more unstable region now where one hopes for more meaningful development. 

[SarahWxm]

Heard about 3 loud booms so far. Make that 4

Are these the severe storms modelled in the midlands? Or will that be a bit later tonight?  

[Zak M]

My lightning detector did pretty well 

[matt111]

Most convective it’s looked here today. A few spots of rain from this. 

[Harry]

Strike over Brest...still broadly in line with the Western activity so probably not of much relevance to us shrivelling prunes further east. An interesting development none the less.

[summer blizzard]

Met Office seems to have issued an additional warning valid from 16:00 for north west England.

Haha nice one!! 

Heard lots of thunder so far but seen no lightning as yet.  Nice little surprise though given how things have been looking on the forecasts. 

Just 1 bolt of lightning please gods, I'm not asking for much am I...

A cell has popped up east of Stoke! People around Manchester need to watch this.

[MikeUpjohn]

Watching out for that storm that just popped North of Uttoxeter, should be coming my way soon!

Looking East Zak? I'm guessing I'm under that.

Its caused flooding in Aberystwyth on its way up the coast. 

Power cuts and flash flooding after thunder

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

Streets have been flooded in Aberystwyth and New Quay sees over 100 lightning strikes in an hour.

To my east in Southampton looks nice but will probably be nothing 

[James1979]

Very tropical feeling and many little towers going up all around right next to the CB I'm almost under. Lovely stuff.

[Pat Butcher]

I know everything's a supercell to us overexcitable storm nerds, so let me be the first.

I see a cheeky hook echo, and it seems to have broken off from the NNW flow to NNE.

A storm spotter report from the ground (my Mum) say it's the biggest storm she's seen in years. What do we think?

Yep

Wow some some booming thunder now but not seen any lightning. Had about 20 rumbles now.

I think so , convective weather and met office had storms firing from afternoon moving N/NW and clearing on in the evening but speed of these things could mean that's it or vice versa or more could keep going a few miles from you all evening pretty hard to judge but the cap did seem to go where it was expected

Well underwhelmed is an understatement at the moment, nothing of any real interest showing yet on radar. Maybe something forming in Northern France at the moment but no activity yet.
