Storm passing over Nuneaton, with almost constant(!) lightning and heavy hail. It's also as black as night here, at the moment! EDIT: Make that torrential hail!
The Met Office Rainfall RADAR shows the rain moving north eastwards, so I presume it's all moving in the same direction. That does mean we're unlikely to see any over us tonight as the storms coming up from Wiltshire are bypassing us.
That's probably the storm I'm now watching to the south-east. It's another one putting on spectacular lightning displays - including a beautiful bolt that formed a 'U' shape out of the cloud. We've also got some moderate rainfall, now.
That would be the one, yes. It has weaken somewhat, but it's still putting on a beautiful display. We've had a small amount of rain in the last 10 minutes, as well.
Pitch black here with moderate rainfall, frequent lightning and what looks like some rotation in the cloud. Anyone else noticed that?
EDIT: Frequent lightning with multiple strokes. This storm's putting on a superb display
I can concur with this. It's very very black towards the south west and if the Met Office's rainfall RADAR is anything to go by, we're about to get a battering!
No thunder and lightning, though
EDIT: It's just started raining.
We have a storm to the south west of us, which I think will be coming through here. It's producing thunder at a rate of about one rumble every 30 seconds or so, but only the odd visible lightning bolt. It's still extremely muggy and unpleasant...
Another storm's passing us, here. The lightning's more intermittant and the rain very light, but it's getting very dark here - more like 4am than 10am :blink:
I got woken up as few minutes ago by the sound of thunder, here. It had also been raining, though not all that hard and it's stopped now anyway. The lightning seems to be coming at a rate of about 1 a minute, but it does have little spirts of more intense activity.
There's a storm currently passing to the east of us - over Leicester maybe - which is producing some thunder and the odd distant lightning flash. It's also getting very dark here, at the moment
A storm's approaching us from the south east. It's producing fairly heavy rain and some tunder, but I've not seen any lightning, yet.
It's horribly muggy, at the moment, as well
A heavyish graupel shower has started here
We'll see the doom merchants start on about this being the start of an Ice Age, if things don't warm up soon
