I can see them from my back garden funky but look awesome
While, not so extreme, they look very much like Undulatus Asperatus clouds.

Met office warning was a complete fail. Yellow thunderstorm warning yet not a single flash detected over land!
Give it time.
Thunderstorms are tricky beasts to predict, especially in situations like today where heating is required (rather than say a showery day after a low pressure system)
Its not often you get storms this early in the day.-

First crack of thunder this year. Little bit of hail, moderate rain. Nothing fancy.

If cold weather is on the way, it would be nice if it could, for once, be dry and sunny with it. This photo of a bridleway half a mile from my house sums up the general depressing crapness of winters in West Sussex.

Out of interest, has anyone seen any data / modelling in relation to the lack of aircraft in the air this year and cooler temps in the northern hem?
I have a feeling its gonna get very cold later in the season due to the huge decrease in fossil fuel burning this whole year.

TORRO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 2020/008
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has been issued at 1050BST on Thusday 13th August 2020

The Midlands, E Anglia and S England

THREATS
Hail to 20-30mm diamater; wind gusts to 50mph; frequent CG lightning; flash flooding; isolated tornadoes
SYNOPSIS
A very warm and humid airmass remains across the area, with several short-wave troughs moving WNW across the region throughout today and tonight. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible throughout the period - initially more elevated across parts of the Midlands this morning, but some surface-based storms will form this afternoon too, especially along convergence zones. Several clusters should form, with large hail and strong winds, as well as a risk of flash flooding. Isolated tornadoes are possible along convergence zones.
Overnight, further showers and storms, mainly elevated, will move W across the area, with hail and flash-flooding possible.

Storm becoming more pronounced over the last 10-15m here in Mid Beds. Still not more than a 4/10 at the moment.
A good sign considering its 10am
With some diurnal heating, im sure it will be insane later.

Big increase in flashes now, as others report. Easily 30+ per minute at times, so a lot more than detectors show. I'm going to head Hastings direction to get a little closer
yeah, there is a storm NE of gloucester.. Probably at least 1 flash per second. maybe more. Constant rolling thunder..
Yet, it barely even registers on the detectors currently -
Lightning all every direction around me currently. Probably 2 to 3 flashes every second. Very distant rumbles.

What is a Microburst? Seen plenty to know them.
Thats the name i was looking for!
Yeah could have quite possible of been one. Ive been in plenty of gust fronts and that certainly wasnt one (or a VERY strong one)
On another note..
THERE IS A LOT! of convection behind this big storm .. Can see anvils to my south and west

Shame you haven't got an automated rain gauge, I would love to have seen the rain rate.
yeah my station broke a long time ago
The patio at one point had a good 2 inches of rain on it. It was a pool briefly lol.
Here is someone elses nearby. So should be a good representation. -

Just looks like heavy rain / hail and gusty winds - possibly gust front. Seen it before, prior to being storm starved.
indeed. Annoyingly the camera doesnt do it justice really.
It was really something we dont get often if at all around here and was more like a hurricane for about 15 minutes.
