Just had a very blustery squall line come through Sandbach in Cheshire, with 6 or 7 flashes of lightning and loud thunder, some hail too. It was a nice surprise, although at 6am waking me up wasn't ideal lol

Just had a squall line that's basically dead but I just had some of the strongest winds I've ever seen in my entire life, wind gusts we're definitely up to about 90, could've been a mini tornado because the rain started to swirl around the house when it happened, I think a few trees fell down too, if I can ill take some photos later.

About 20-30 mins ago there was some ridiculous strong wind and couldn’t see much out side with how the bad the rain with it was that was crazy

Can confirm I just had my first thunderstorm of the year, it was like something out of the tempest, rain, hail even a bit of sleet. Today is going to be interesting

And the Birmingham, Stratford line has produced lightning over Northamptonshire - you're welcome! 

Interesting day coming up. Hopefully some decent cloudscapes.
