The rainfall ahead of that squall (if that's what it'd be classed as) is heading more NE. If the squall follows that pattern then I could get an unexpected little thundery treat later

Looks that way!

Mad. You've shot up from 5.4 mm to 21.8 mm within a minute.

 

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

hmmm... the squal is making a cshape and a hook at the same time ooooo 

[Mapantz]

In all the years I have lived here, that was genuinely the heaviest rain I have ever seen. 411 mm/hr rain rate.

Very surprised to see the amount of lightning activity on blitzortung - all heading east which is great but (typical for this year so far) will head to my south. Will look forward to looking out for it though 

[Allseasons-Si]

@Paul Sherman might be in the game later,there's a thought

steady rain here but to the north there are some heavy showers developing that might provide an sferic or two.

[Jamie M]

Corfe Castle completely obstructed in this passing squall from the station nearby.

[jake44]

hmm seems to be kinda heading east i think

The French must be looking to the UK in envy for once!

Hearing the odd rumble from the west. Surprised I can’t here more actually considering it’s not that far away.

Maybe the torrential rain is drowning the audible thunder out!

[Ben Sainsbury]

@Alderc Bournemouth storm shield must've fallen now aye

[Frosty hollows]

I can hear thunder too, but according to the radar it's 30+ miles away

[slinky1989]

That was weird, normal rain rates here, nothing stormy to speak of, and then suddenly a cloud-cloud lightning strike above my head!

 

Wasn't expecting that, thought we were way too far north of the action.

[Zak M]

How about that for a radar image!
