Here’s some pictures of the storm near Peterborough that was visible from here. The pileus cloud on top looked insane.

We just  hard a third storm of the day but started to really kick off north of town and just hearing distant rumbles... 

Still three small shows, some mega Hail and cracking across the sky lightening today which was none to bad! 

[SarahWxm]

Just been for a little storm chase up to Bangor on Dee and back. Seen about 10 good bolts of lightning and some LOUD thunder. Not managed to catch any of camera, but liked these clouds! Thought a tornado was going to drop down at one point lol 

 

Can anyone tell me - are these the updrafts?

Seems like nocturnal cooling has come into play to help storms intensify this evening.
