yea same story up here, seems this summer so far only certain areas are frequently getting them and some areas get nothing at all. Mainly London, Lincolnshire, Sussex and Scotland have had all the storm activity this summer so far.

Is it moving closer to you yet? 

it actually ended up back building so it got to me that way but it didnt move west. windows washed and praying plants are going to be okay.

[Chris.R]

Anyone want some drizzle? Got plenty of it here. A little bit of moderate rain going cheap as well? Please somebody take it off me for the love of God!

Yep you got it ,frustrating to say the least ,like ..Kate bush with her dad in her video cloud busting, sure the  machine is down  the road ,but we have had and I've seen a bit,but never over the top you ,and if it is, it's about 3000 ft up in the air

Last time, it developed NW of here and died out as it moved this way.
This time, it developed to my south by last than half a mile, and continued moving south. 

Dry as well. Could've done with a bit more rain..

[kold weather]

Strong cell blown up just to the north of here, decent thunder and lightning with it.

Radar has certainly gotten alot more active compared with a few hours ago!

[Robbie Garrett]

This crap is sitting on the approach path into Heathrow. Had probably 2 or 3 cells pass through here.

Watching it roll in at present in bordon. No rain but strong rotation above.

[amybonnie98]

Not electrical but stormy skies looking south east from here 

[StormLoser]

After an hour plus of general thundering it's finally gone quiet here in Reigate. Looking at the rain radar and animating it, this place is strangely almost the centre of stuff rotating around! Looking at the grey wet sky here, you'd never believe it.

Could be more to come here?

[Sparkiee storm]

Hmmmm? Around about South London, East of Guildford.

Yeah was watching this curious thing. Isn’t it supposed to spin the other way? I can’t remember

 

looks to be dissipating, but I reckon it spawned a funnel or two

Yep. I was just looking at the accumulation map

I'm still chuckling over the fact that all that rain fell before the warning was active

 

 

[Robbie Garrett]

Pretty bad in London in some places.

 

Flash floods cause travel chaos in parts of London

The rain here is insane! No thunder but wow.

[Mesoscale]

It has to of been the heaviest I have ever seen in the UK, no hail but it was intense. 

[poseidon]

Just had quite a severe storm here. Plenty of thunder/lightning and crazy rainfall + slow moving with it.  I've rarely seen rain that heavy in the UK. Looks to have intensified even more as it moved South.
