Got caught out by a Thunderstorm whilst crossing Westminster Bridge, IC lightning and a boom of thunder after a torrential downpour.
Was so soaked couldn't get any pictures. But those damn drains are struggling now. Excuse "Because of COVID"

Looks as though the new cells S of London have electrified. C/N London storms have lost their electricity sadly.
I wonder if they'll reignite over London.
SIGMET has TOPS at FL350.

Yes indeed, not seen or heard much ongoing. Just rain here now. Nothing biblical yet...

This crap is sitting on the approach path into Heathrow. Had probably 2 or 3 cells pass through here.
-
This weather is frustrating. Ended up on the edge of one of those cells, was pretty turbulent. Glad we entered a smaller cell rather than the big one on our left...

So after many hours sitting on my backside waiting for this weather to clear up, it finally went above the minima for our departure and eventually return. We have no official instrument approaches at Stapleford.
So we departed above the layer and no real issues, was in and out of Cu/St. Completed the Instrument Approach into Lydd, and this thing was shooting up right at the hold for the missed approach. So did a weather avoiding turn and tracked around it. Awe inspiring the power of them as I was getting lift behind its path. Definitely wouldn't have enjoyed flying through it...
Well the day after I flew the same routing, and whilst not massively convective on radar. I am sure there was some stuff embedded that was packing a punch, but the scariest thing of all. It was so smooth inside the heaviest of the rainfall. First time I've had zero visibility outside the canopy, normally it's the wings. But the rainfall was so intense in places, we couldn't see.
