    Thunder and lightning here for the last 20 minutes or so with some hail.
  2. simon1
    Somewhere near Porthmadog 987mb.

    Looks like it will pass just to the South/East of Lichfield.
  4. simon1
    The cell approaching Walsall now should clip Lichfield.

    Looking VERY black to the West of here now. And a nice deep rumble of thunder!!

    A few distant rumbles here in Walsall late afternoon but nothing more as storms skirted past to the North. Around 7pm, the thunder was heard again, but this time getting nearer. This was the beginning of the best full blown TS have seen here for quite some time. Peak lightning rates were in the region of 4-6 flashes per minute with torrential rain for a while and some nice booming thunder! Nice while it lasted (around an hour!).

    Looks like a few showers have popped up in the last 30 minutes or so the the South West of Birmngham. They also seem to be intensifying. EDIT: Make that SW, W and NW!

    I was on the main part nearest Birmingham/Scott Arms. A mad dash from home as the clouds were already passing by at home. It is a great viewpoint, certainly the best one locally! Plans are afoot for a visitor centre/cafe in the near future. Hope it doesn't change the place too much

    More to come from the West judging by the radar. The leading edge of that last shower looked really amazing and nasty but unfortunately I didn't manage to get a pic of that. Camera is ready now though

    Here's a couple from Barr Beacon
  11. simon1
    Gotta agree with you there! That structure was amazing. Went to Barr Beacon and took a few shots before the heavens opened.The rain looked torrential over the likes of Dudley (as can bee seen on NW radar) as they had disappeared from view.

    Makes a change for that not to happen here for once . Just a couple of rumbles heard and it's all moving off NNE now
  13. simon1
    Rumble of thunder heard here just now.
  14. simon1
    Rain eased off now after cell moved away to north-east. A few flashes, a few rumbles and torrential rain interspersed with a shower of pea sized hail. Not a bad start
  15. simon1
    Torrential downpour here now with one rumble of thunder so far.
  16. simon1
    Yep. I think we will be the spawning ground today, but who knows?
  17. simon1
    No point posting if there is nothing happening here!
  18. simon1
    Have to be up at 5am tomorrow for work at six so could be interesting. Actually looking forward to getting up early for a change! Darwen- Great pic

    Well that was fun! Haven't had an afternoon like that for ages. The thunder started here around 5pm and ended around 10 minutes ago. Not a great deal of lightning seen for the last couple of hours or so but very happy. Hopefully the start of what could be an interesting week :lol:

    AJ, i'm in Brum. It's real!! Cell to the West and East at the moment.
  21. simon1
    Starting to rumble here in Central Birmingham now
  22. simon1
    Nice one!
  23. simon1
    Just moderate rain here now. Keeping my eye on the radar and hoping that cell to the SW keeps on coming!
  24. simon1
    Thunder heard from around 1520hrs becoming more frequent until peak of 2-3 rumbles per minutes around 1550hrs. Several lightning flashes seen but no CG. Torrential rain from around 1600 - 1620hrs. Slowly moved off to the North.
  25. simon1
    Still occasional rumbles here but getting more distant. Cell has moved off North and seems to be re-invigorating. Still raining!
