Nothing, diddly squat, Jack, sod all, again!

I concur.

A few planes have been holding over me and taking a different approach to Manchester

[A Face like Thunder]

Nothing so exciting on the NE Coast. Cloud rolled in late afternoon and now decidedly chilly compared with late. Can't wait to get back to Cheshire tomorrow!

Feel cheated

I wasnt expecting it either as it came South, veered to the SE then bounced off the Pennines.

Nowt here but I hope I’m as “unlucky” with tomorrow’s deluge as well.

to me it’s the same type of southerly tracking system that, if it was December to March would have our friends in the south taking over the mad thread and which would find a northern limit around the far south of our region leaving ourselves bone dry and bright.

oh for a warm repeat of one of those.

Beautiful anvil to the left side of the pic. Looking NNE

[Had Worse]

There are 4 separate downpours around Manchester so take your pick which anvil belongs to which cell.

[severe snowstorm]

Manchester cell showing up as a decent anvil in the sky to my NE. Looks like the lightning activity has died now though?

[A Face like Thunder]

Ben R and Owain WE gave us thoughts of thundery activity on Saturday, particularly Manchester and Cheshire, and there is an early weather warning for rain on Saturday.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Good view of cell here too, very hazy though, looks like it's over SK4

[Had Worse]

Seems to have transferred electrically to Shropshire.  Also a rogue strike in  N Wales.

Still raining over SK13

[Frost HoIIow]

Even though we haven't had any thunderstorms directly overhead I've seen some amazing cloudscapes today.

lol heard something daft.

Neighbour's daughters playing in a paddling pool when big drops of rain starting falling. He shouted to his daughters quick come in its raining.....ROFL....

Saw a lightning flash and there was a crash of thunder.

[SnowThunder]

The thermometer we have on the wall that's always in the sun and is part of a little metal ornimental spade read 42c today, I wonder if there's a way to calculate the thermal conductivity of the metal and subtract that from the reading to get the actual temperature, highest I've ever seen it is 48c so not record breaking heat today at least. Saw some nice cloud plumes starting to form to the East when I was out on the bike earlier too

[alr1970]

A nice drenching from this. 

That will save me watering the garden tomorrow. Glad to have it, the weekend looks rather dry here now, though we are off to Bedfordshire Saturday so should get a dose of that.

Temp has dropped to a mere 21C!

I was lying on the beach (Newquay, Wales) in 1980, when I thought there was a shark attack: shout, scream, panic, mad rush to the sand . . . It was raining!

I noticed all those sirens too. Was that up the snake?

Oddly its warmer inside than this time yesterday despite outside being a bit cooler.. but not much in it. Currently 21.5 outside and 25 degrees inside. Hoping this might be the last uncomfortable night.. bit suspect tomorrow will be equally so.. and it will take a few days for the house to cool down despite maxes dropping back into low 20s, minima still in the 13-15 degree category. Though much fresher northerly airstream is forecast so that will help.
