I hope you get some activity today, it's staggering the amount of times I had some stormy activity these past few years, yet yourself not seeing any, considering Congleton is not that far from me! -

Here up in Stoke, had enough to get the sun dip behind the clouds, definetly some activity occuring. -
Weatherwise from my spot its been an interesting day, been sitting right bang on the edge of dark angry skies for HOURS from NE to SE of my position, and other than a light shower i caught the edge of, i've had sunny weather, but watching these stormy skies that have formed yet appear to "not move". Don't think I can recall this happening before, I'm just like the other guy who posted his position right at the edge of being in thunderstorm warning area, but not in it. Edit: Just realised the storms may actually be moving back in a more NW direction, after being pretty much stationary for most of the day.

This storm must have dumped it's energy all in Baddeley Green and v local area (at 4pm approx), wish I'd taken some pics myself because there was quite a few rumbles of thunder and some lightning in between the absolute biblical amount of rain it dropped, flooding the entirety of Leek Road (in the area by that has a layby for the couple of shops) because it was persistent and relentless for a good 15 minutes!

This must be the first intensive storm I've seen where I was really close enough to see the lightning, thunder and see the squall line in the distance of torrential rain, but see it pass across from West to North, where the most I had overhead was a light trickle of rain, but to see the "foggy green" look of absolute intense downpour in the distance! Also, what's going on in Birmingham? There seems to be a Thunderstorm Factory that's propped up this afternoon pumping out the storms!!

I knew that odd rumble you had the other week wouldn't be enough to satiate your needs for a good Thunderstorm over Congleton! -

Ugh, worst part of the day is here, I've been lucky the room I've been in with the computer has been North-West facing, and managed to escape the Sun's direct rays for most of the day, but I can see the Sun is shifting round and I'll have to close the curtains to keep it cool in here. Wow outside is 36c, and in the shade, the Air feels like you are standing next to an open heated-up oven, and it's breezing that oven-warm air over you. Oof.

Sorry to hear that they weren't keeping a close eye on what the children were doing , I'll agree they will get more adversely affected by this heat spike, and may not understand yet the type of necessary precautions to take. At least it's the final week of term is it not?
