The storms are moving onto the coast now, the question is will they weaken or intensify as they move inland?

You'll just have to be satisfied with flying ants...

Yea, I hate this heat but the flying ants are loving this hot weather.

I am very disappointed with the last storms we had a few days ago in Northampton as all we got was a few minor rumbles of thunder.

Where are the flying cows?

Lots of frequent rumbles for the past hour but lightning has been pretty pathetic  

Try holding a big metal pole and you might attract the lightening.

Not much lightning showing on the radar, unless it's mostly elevated, some deep rumbles of thunder though

 

There is lots of lightning showing up on radar, use this website.

With the change in the wind, I am directly in line of the Market Harborough beast.

I'm In northampton  and I am monitoring the Market Harborough storm north of us. It has got cloudy here with a rumble or two of thunder.

It is hard to tell if we will get a direct hit or if the storms north of us will travel to the south east of us.

There could also be some more storms popping up from the Market Harborough storms.

I'm just watching out for them flying cows.

Everything is to the East and moving away.....Not really expecting that to change for the West Mids, despite the forecast

stream running just in case

Yea, I'm in Northampton but so far most activity is to our east and North near Nottingham. It looks like we've missed the storms but it is still possible for a storm to pop out of nowhere.

I live in Northampton and no storms here today but tomorrow their is a 70% chance of storms so I'm expecting baseball size hail and deadly F4 or F5 Tornadoes.

Only joking but I wouldn't mind seeing a small Tornado that doesn't cause any injuries or deaths. 

We will have to wait and see how intense tomorrows storms will be.

It would be nice to at least get some frequent fork lightening and loud thunder.
