Distant thunder heard at about 1455hrs today. Gradually moved closer until storm was overhead with several close strikes with immediate close "bang" thunder.Occasional rumbles since then and still going on!

I don't think it is possible for ANY forecaster to say it will definitely rain in Kidderminster or not! And it is certainly impossible for anyone to say there will or won't be storms, only what the likelihood is. The "Will it thunder?" feature on the homepage, if you have checked it, only showed a 35% chance of storms for Kidderminster for today. Therefore, there was a 65% that there wouldn't be any. Not really a high forecast for storms. :unsure: Currently it shows as a 51% chance for Friday so the odds are, as it stands, slightly more in your favour.As far as here goes, it has been moderate to heavy showers on and off since early this afternoon so the forecast wasn't wrong.

Another shower here now but much heavier. If the last one we had is anything to go by, this will intensify as it moves NE.

Just had a shower here for about 10 minutes, first rain for a couple of weeks or so. Lovely smell No thunder yet though but looking black with some TCu to the SW.

A cell has appeared on radar just to the East of me in the last 30 minutes that I think is is heading your way Supacell EDIT : Look like that cell is dying away

I just "Googled" this and found a description of Sporadic E. It seems the jury is out on how it occurs, but one theory is a connection with thunderstorms . Full description here http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/prop.../sporadic_e.php. Hope this helps :unsure:

Very nice pics. Well done! If you haven't already, you might like to report this to TORRO at www.torro.org.uk. I am sure they would be extremely grateful!

Good luck team, and take care. Looking forward to your updates!

Just had a couple of rumbles of thunder and a bit of hail here in Brum City Centre.

Keep it coming this way, Tom. 4.5 inches here currently but still snowing although not as heavily as it has done.

Snow had eased a little since my last post a couple of hours ago, but has now got heavier again with big flakes :lol:

Woke up to a nice covering of an inch or so this morning. Has been snowing lightly on and off here since around 8am but we have heavy snowfall now

My 5 choices are:- Rustynailer 3 OON 1 Kar999 3 Essan 1 Kar999 1 Good luck everyone

Well done Wibs. A truly stunning photograph.

That's why I posted mine

Last day of September, so here's my 3rd photo. Hope I don't get any good pics later on today now <_< Another one from Welney,Norfolk

OK, 2nd pic which was taken from Welney, which is not too far from Thetford Incidentally, my lightning pic was taken in Oxborough which is pretty close too

Fantastic shots there OON

A couple of belated storm reports from a short break in Norfolk. First storm from approximately 3am until 4.30am on Wednesday 13th September. Power off from approx. 2am until 8am! Flashes of lightning every 10-15 seconds or so at its peak and one very close strike with an immediate crack following it! Second storm from around 9pm on 13th for around 2 hours or so. Managed some lightning shots from this one. Not quite as intense as the earlier one though.

Here's my first for this month, taken on holiday in Norfolk on 13th September.First attempt at nocturnal lightning :unsure:

Tough choices once again but I have gone for MPR 3 Essan 2 OON 2 MCT 1 Nick F 1 Well done everyone on such a high standard and good luck

Might as well enter the only passable weather pic I took in August, sadly only on my phone Taken 29th August from Barr Beacon, West Midlands

Torrential rain with a little hail and a few flashes/rumbles in Birmingham around 2pm.

Very difficult to choose again this month. Well done to everyone who entered. Simon T 1 Rustynailer 1 OON 1 KellyF 2 Anvilcrawler 1 Good luck!
