Think we are on the edge of that CZ here - some very vertical towers going up, but they just don’t seem to be sustaining enough.

I feel like it has come six hours too late.  Looks good on sat 24 too

Thunder and lightning in Hagley, just south of Stourbridge where I am right now. Quite a bit too. The rain is absolutely torrential.

OMG YES! I remember this. There was certainly a day I remember when it got dark enough for the street lights to go on and it made the news. I don't remember the storm we must of had.Quite the experience none the less!

Me too, Dami. I was gardening (my garden was on the north side of my house) when I suddenly noticed it was getting dark . . . For a wee while, I was worried I'd developed a brain tumour!

Looking at the swirling mass, think it's in the center of a low, hence why it's going around in a swirl, and not really moving, perhaps a small upper low has formed there, or it's the center of the low that caused today's rain

Thunder just to the SW from the Stourbridge cell.

Though that little red blob looked interesting, just the way it's moving if you play the animation.

Is that a hook?

Now got a mammatus fest in Northants, and the temps have dropped to about 12c.

[Jamie M]

Dagenham cell soaking up all that energy.

[Chris Lea-Alex]

Completely obscured by trees but I'm facing that essex cell from Bromley.

I hope someone from the A12 corridor has hail footage

Summers down south used to be great. Saw my first funnel cloud over the downs, remember my dad shouting at me to 'come out and look' and it was high in the clouds spinning away. Amazing clouds over the sea. Lucky to get one storm here now.

That Storm over Brum is making this plane late for landing... been circling over malvern & surrounds for ages.

[WeatherWatchmanG]

Seems to not be moving and it isn't back building so west of london wont see the action from that cell over east london.

[WeatherWatchmanG]

some pictures and video on twitter show flooding but thats one user who is to say those are real for today so I won't post those.
