Just sw of Maidstone ...just heard rumble of thunder too 

[Atmogenic]

The storm cell has moved away now but still from time to time im hearing rumbling. But there are bubbly cumulus congestus clouds not far behind and a cumulusnibus 

[MP-R]

Fairly robust looking cell to the N now.

Quite constantly rumbling ,reminds me of a lazy summer storm ,you know all action not much movement ..:-)

[<<Ryan>>]

Rumbles of thunder for the past hour or so as the storm brushed past to my east. Also some weak rotation briefly on the back end.

[Atmogenic]

Its getting closer to me

[LightningLover]

Very distant rumbles even here in Bexhill, Convection looks very robust to my NE!

Was in class at the time but here's my picture now, not sure if this is the same thing. 

My bad try at a panorama.

Yep slowly and it's if  it can only  just be bothered started to move south south east from me (mereworth ) but like the other fella said it sucked the surroundings dry  I ..said earlier about south of Chatham over downs it's as if they all amalgamated into this beauty 

[StormLoser]

Well, we have a sort of reverse Kent Clipper in progress!  It looked potentially good here in Reigate up to around 1:00pm when it cleared from the north west. There's towering cumulus here and there.

There's a kind of line forming NW to SE, and I wonder if the north end might drift south. It will be interesting to watch.

But someone somewhere must be having a good storm under those echoes.

Yep it’s exactly what i was saying to my dad, the weather is a floridian summer’s day, high temperature + high humidity and morning cumulus clouds that will eventually turn into monstrous storms in the afternoon. Which for me is exactly what i like

Temp is ...not right but near on ..

[Eagle Eye]

A nice crack or thunder just now

[Atmogenic]

That thunderhead has got close enough to me for its anvil to block out the sun, but its very quiet compared to the first cell that came over here

[Eagle Eye]

Anvil is coming this way. 

[Eagle Eye]

Another Picture. 

[TomLO04]

Developed overhead and moved SE unfortunately for me. But still some consistent, distant rumbles.

 

 

[Zak M]

Seeing some decent CBs to my south.

[<<Ryan>>]

Oooooh yes! A stunning bright lilac cg followed by shotgun thunder 

[Eagle Eye]

Continues to grow bigger but move away from me.
