we actually got a direct hit! Short-lived but quite intense as it rattled through, spectacular cloud structure as it approached and saw some flashes high up in the storm. The rain was incredibly heavy with some hail thrown in and had flashes every 3 or 4 seconds and non stop thunder for about 15 mins. All moved away now, perhaps more to come later. Second direct storm of the year which is better than the previous summers combined

looks like we *may* be in with a chance if these storms keep on their track..... -

seems to be a repeat of yesterday afternoon at the moment, storms tracking along the same path NNE over Shropshire, up to Chester and into Merseyside. Unless there is eastern development then its all going to miss us again. -
21C and most of the sky has cloud cover but the sun is out currently. Feels humid. Interested with the storms over Wales and Shropshire but looks like at the moment they are tracking NNE which again would mean they would miss us to the west, a repeat of yesterday so far. Hoping for some eastern development.

not a complete disaster in the end....just had some on and off heavy showers with a few rumbles in the mix, no lightning seen. Feels a lot cooler now after the rain. A thundery shower or two is better than nothing i guess so I will take it. -

its all going to south east of us now, when earlier it was all north west of us....oh well, another day in the 60% warning zone with very little other than a shower or two in the last hour to show for it. -

thanks mate but no chance.....we have had one direct hit this summer which sounds a lot but it isnt when you consider how many storms the North West have had so far this season....it could change though, still plenty of time this evening -

so far here the usual has happened. In the morning storms just too far the to the east, this afternoon storms just too far to the west...I'm looking forward to this evening when we get storms just too far to the north. despite being in the 60% warning area we are still waiting for our first rumble or even single drop of rain. -

Did somebody earlier say Cheshire was one of the main high risk areas? 60% plus warning? So far, we have been absolutely bone dry while half the rest of the country are enjoying storms. -

a few rumbles here in Congleton, no rain as of yet....no lightning seen either. Sky looks a beautiful mix of orange, pink and purple. Quite incredible.
