Bright and sunny at home now, but was in Bedfordshire earlier and saw some apocalyptic skies, asperitas and mammatus clouds and quite a few CG bolts. Conditions are certainly ripe over the Midlands and central UK
Reading all these accounts, I wish I had stayed up there a bit longer! Though I must say it was impressive seeing the back of the shelf cloud moving North away from me

Bit of Accas starting to form over here now
Looking at the radar, there is a band of showers from Exeter up to Swindon and also some very heavy rain around the Luton area

Well, I slept through everything, but looking at that radar shot, I wouldn't have heard/seen anything anyway

Is that really a wild lightning strike in an unusual habitat nr Exeter?
Dont believe it.
It would appear so...

Was the Typhoon loud and proud?
Certainly was, but due to the mist and low cloud that developed out over the sea, many displays were cancelled for visibility and safety reasons. The Red Arrows were impressive as always though

Home from Clacton now. Still nice out, pretty warm and quite humid but not anticipating anything major tonight
-
It's lovely here in Clacton, be surprised if we saw any storms today

Hi, it usually stays dry here on days with surface storms forecast in a southerly or easterly breeze. Any storms that develop do so along the sea breeze front (if any forms) which is often about as far inland as Colchester. I'm heading down the air show on my bike when I finish work, about 2pm. I've seen it every year since I was about 10 but it never gets old...I'm 41 now!
I was thinking that we might be at risk of a typhoon later!

As long as Clacton stays dry today, I don't really mind!
-
It now seems to be raining
Edit: It's absolutely tipping it down!

I just heard something and that Cambridge cell is too far away. Strange as nothing is showing on radars.
Planes maybe?

Thought I just heard thunder but a quick look at the radar shows nothing, so it must have been something else..

Is that a small shower east of Plymouth or just a blip on the radar?
There's quite a big shower heading up the A38 towards Exeter...
-
Doesn't really feel stormy now, but still looks unstable up there...

This is a destabilisation occurring through this evening and overnight, hence the reason why there are showery outbreaks of rain developing and running NE-wards, with some embedded lightning on the eastern fringes at times. I'm yet to read any written forecast that suggested anything livelier than that?

That puts me right on the Eastern fringes of it. A breeze has redeveloped again, and it feels cooler and not all that humid. Not expecting any significant activity now, if any at all
-
I honestly don't know whether to expect anything or not. The breeze from earlier now seems to have gone...
-
Localised shower seems to have appeared over Romford area, be intersting to see what becomes of it
-
Bit of a breeze developed now. Wonder what that means...
-
Seeing some distant cloud of to the SW. Nothing convective, but suggests that something may spark off here in the next few hours. Still feels pretty close out there...
-
There's lightning ENE of Weymouth, that cloud you can see might have something to do with it
-
Make that 3!! Another cell to the North of Jersey!
-
The cell just to the West of Guernsey appears to be almost stationary, but a second storm seems to have developed just to the North of the island. Definitely livening up out in the Channel

Hot and sunny, 30C

It seems a lot fresher outside now. It's almost as if the storms up North have cleared our air without us having rain here
