It looks like a cluster, development is very rapid

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I can’t work out if this is part of the forecast or not

Very messy situation

Rapidly making a bee line away from the SE though

The Principality of Sealand is the place to be right now!

And if you can't get there. Felixstowe or Harwich beach will do!

Still plenty of this beautiful thick low cloud here, sun just can't shift it.

[Dan the Man]

Must be plenty happening around the STN area - lots of aircraft have just broken off their approaches and sitting in holding patterns.

[Snipper]

My scientific rain gauge says it rained a bit over the last 24 hours.

Looks like it’s moving NW’wards to me? Towards E Anglia. Or am I too optimistic lol

Frequent heavy downpours here in Leicester. Nothing thundery however I’m surprised of its intensity as there’s been no sun at all here today. Full dull but something is fuelling them?

Gives us hope here in Derbyshire then it has been vile here.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Still some occasional distant rumblings but everything staying to the south atm.

[TheToastPeople]

Getting some long low deep rumbles here

[Buzzard]

Ugh. We get the lighter stuff here in LB. All the interesting stuff off to the east of Beds. The in laws in Bedford getting a pasting by the looks. 
 

Some bits currently in Central London might hit us later. Much more humid than yesterday.

[Wet'n'Dry]

It looks like Ipswich and points north might get hit if that Belgium storm survives the channel crossing
