@offerman certainly did, I was up from 4:30am just watching, looking like some convection taking place now, not sure it will amount to much, bit late in the day, we will see.

clouds bubbling up fast now the sun has come out

I was thinking that too about it being late in the day .

@offerman I can confirm distant rumbles, that was quick!! From small cloud to thunderstorm in just over an hour!! 

[Andy Bown]

A few rumbles being heard but not sure from where. It seems to be building all around! 
 

Offerman/Fromey how can you possibly say it was too late in the day at about 17.00!!??

Because earlier it didn’t feel like any energy was around there was no humidity and then all of a sudden it just changed drastically

 

just goes to show how wrong I was that’s for sure

Getting interesting skies. 
 

[jtay]

Looks like it's all falling away to the West now, as we're cooling down.

Can't say I'm bothered. Could do with going back to 8hrs kip tonight.

[offerman]

Just love the way A cloud scene can change within a few minutes

 

 

[offerman]

And again

 

 

[offerman]

Apologies that I’m getting carried away with my photos if it gets annoying for anybody please just say and I will refrain

 

just love nature ,cloud structures ,find it all absolutely incredible

not hundred percent but I’m sure I saw some rotation at the base of that towering cumulonimbus cloud 

[offerman]

[offerman]

Tried to get a timelapse

The clouds were moving so quickly towards me, and above me, it was difficult to keep in one position for long

Kicking off in the Warminster, Westbury, Frome triangle. Several close flashes and rumbles.
