Sunshine much more evident around here today than this time yesterday and temperatures at 20c are already above the predicted temperature for today of 19c.

The line of convection just to the East of Blackpool...

North and South as far as the eye can see.

Yeah pretty much the same here.  Hoping whatever is fuelling the downpours will fuel some storms later when it’s hopefully a bit warmer. 

Some of the heaviest rain I've ever driven in. Absolutely blinding.

Showers look pretty heavy on radar, but not many strikes yet?

Yeah some of the showers are getting very beefy, I expect to see more lightning as the move north/northeast.

Things starting to get going now

Loud thunder in Chatteris Cambridgeshire

[Em H]

Haven't posted for ages! Very menacing skies to the east of me, had a few distant rumbles. Feels mugging, but there is a bit of a breeze.

After a lovely storm here in Lincoln yesterday, today is feeling like we could get more. Feels ripe for storms after a coolish start. Cloud bubbling up quickly in the last 30 mins.

[Summer18]

Woah really loud thunder near Leeds again for the second day in a row!

Yes, there's a few sferics appearing to the south and west of here.  I have a suspicion that we could be in quite a prime location for thundery activity over the coming week.

Meanwhile, here's my lightning captures from yesterday:

That bolt over the cathedral is a beauty! I was up in the Waddington area yesterday so unfortunately all the lightning was hard to see due to the intense rainfall.

as sat in garden theres some good shots of the sky approaching from south

[Polar Maritime]

Big clap of thunder here just now and big drops of rain turning to hail...

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

What another stunning day convection wise. Very clean convection too. Bright blue skies here with ominous clouds approaching from the S/SW. lightning confirmed near Ely too.

My message wasn’t clear enough. ?

Pickering looking more promising today, been hot and humid all morning, forecast is suggesting frequent Thunderstorms even during the evening and over night

[toggerob]

A few sferics beginning to show between Bakewell and Buxton, missing my location but close enough to hear a few rumbles.

[cbish8]

Heard thunder about two minutes ago, here we go again.

Apparently lightning struck a house in Awsworth yesterday, no damage reported

[Sparkiee storm]

More torrential downpours here and more thunder just to the west and East but none overhead.

Also im pretty sure this had a little rotation in it, as there were further clouds moving right and closer clouds moving left from what i could see 

You can sort of see the rotation in the pic, the way it bends round.

Distant thunder heard to the west. Peak District getting a bashing with orographic lift helping.

My view again at the moment towards the south/south west (lightning tracker says between Oswestry and Wem)
