I love a good sandwich all of the rumble none of the mess.

Beautiful looking structure here. Over shooting top and large anvil. (Sorry for the dirty window, I’m on a train out of Brighton rn)

 

 

[Turquoise]

meanwhile an absolute glorious day in Cheshire, barely a cloud in the sky......haven't had any rain now in nearly 6 weeks which is becoming a bit of a concern up here

[UnderTheAnvil]

Can see so many anvils to my south, hope the action continues after the sun goes down so that i can watch the light shows from afar

With the change in the wind, I am directly in line of the Market Harborough beast.

These storms over NW London look like they might be intensifying again as they move this way. Sky going dark to my NW as they drift this way - not wanting to be greedy (much) but hoping they sustain as they come this way

Still looking stormy to my North, plenty of cloud around. Idk if anything will happen this evening/tonight though

[TJS1998Tom]

This suddenly came out of nowhere

Can actually see the top of the storm near Leicester from here. Impressive stuff.

[Eagle Eye]

Here goes the final chance for today here, good chance for pictures though.

Looking all a bit uninspiring over London @Robbie Garrett - thought I just heard thunder but not sure where from - possible was something else.

I posted in the summer discussion thread that I'd missed the storms in Lincoln today - here's hoping that I did a Murray Walker/commentator's curse!

Is that a tiny little anvil cloud on the left of the 2nd picture?

I actually thought we had missed on all the action, all day it looked like we were just brewing storms for the South, hoping cooling kicks in for some action, I bet the storm near Leicester was unexpected so who knows what could happen. 

 

This area looks to be the one to keep an eye on

Love it!!! Thunder heard skies look dark. As Tom said earlier lincoln has been the producer today so maybe our chance now?

[Robbie Garrett]

Yes indeed, not seen or heard much ongoing. Just rain here now. Nothing biblical yet...

Looks like the remains of a storm or what was a strong updraft @Liam Burge

Looks as though the new cells S of London have electrified. C/N London storms have lost their electricity sadly.
