Better late than ever - but took this while chasing near Braintree yesterday. Got a load of other pics but not had time to offload.

Fantastic shot of an angry powerfull storm cloud Chris. One for the frame on the wall....Essex certainly was treated to an amazing display of convective weather yesterday...

Got my eyes on Saturday night, hopefully it comes off. Would be good to get some photos of a storm at night

Storm has kicked off over the Yorkshire Dales.

now breaking out just south of London too.

Cell S of London. You can’t call it a bust until daylight hours imo the transition between max heating and dusk, is when the cap breaks but stil enough diurnal heating

Reigate cell from Surrey Hills

Watch from north London too. Evening is best potential with stable air masses. As convection only really amounts to anything with lesser cap, but equally enough CAPE. Imo

On the train coming back to Liverpool, currently at Dewsbury SW of Leeds. Looking out for the storm to my N.

[StormLoser]

After a hot, muggy dry day here in the baking hot plains of India, sorry Reigate, we actually just got a rumble of thunder from a tiny cell that popped up just south of the town.

That was unexpected!

Ah - Cableguy - you saw the cell!

Just taken this from Ainsdale beach on my old phone. They’re to my NE, long way away in an otherwise cloudless sky.

This is the view of the storm from here. Has still got an overshooting top though this appears to be waning a little (thankfully spotted the auto-spell check there).

Line of turkey towers feeding into to from the east. Just a shame it’s not dark enough to see any illuminations. 

Storm up North looking good!

[StormLoser]

Here's our local storm from the back garden looking south east. I cant see it has topped out yet. But we've had two lightning incidents recorded from it.

I'm tempted to go after it

Frustrating, just needs one to break through

Looks good from above Dorking as well!

Patch of AcCas suddenly appeared overhead coinciding with a sudden, slight breeze arriving. I don’t think it’ll amount to anything, just nice to look at really

[ancientsolar]

Looks like there's quite a sizeable Storm toward the North of England !  ~ if lucky a couple of treats for Manchester and Leeds ?

[Chris.R]

Just about to pass Stalybridge now in a new storm a few miles to my north.
