Just had a really heavy down pour here in Kirkby in Ashfield - Notts. Hearing the odd rumble too!

[UK convective general discussion and forecasts]

There sure looks like there is a bit of bubbling up going on here in the Emids, whether it comes to anything I don't know. Saw the odd flash n rumble after midnight on monday/Tues but nothing since. I need a good storm!

[Convective Outlook]

Pretty decent show tonight here in the east midland, very nice flashes and rumbles. My first storm of the year! It has finished of my day off nicely!

Cheers.

Ayup, Got one overhead, moderate/heavy rain for the past hour or so, thunder and lightning although not very frequently, i'd say a strike per min. When the dark base was approachin, i noticed very low and fast moving cloud, whats that all about? never seen it before.

Anyway the rain is intensifieing as it moves to the east.

Heres a nice pic of the storm approachin from the east as i face north ish.

Also a pic from about midday when i was in the car driving south on the m18 from hull way.

Ah finally got to the pc <_< Storm hit over me at about half 3 this afternoon, was a good'an. Took the opputunity to take a few sound recordings of the thunder, that went well. Think that storm has dissapated to my north, an' I can see what looks like another cb to my south so ya never know.

Good luck

Simple answer is get out the Argos Catalogue. They have lots of basic wireless weather stations in that price range that will do most of what you wish, maybe not dew point, but you can't have everything

I havent thought of that i'll have a look

Thanks

I live in the midlands Mansfield to be precise - last year we had some awesome storms! One i remember in particular was huge, a real monster - quite suprising for england. Hoping for a good stormy summer this year!
