Had 1 flash of lightning and a very loud clap of thunder yesterday evening at 2110. Couldn't post this on yesterday's reports as the internet connection went down immediately afterwards and stayed down until after I went to bed.

Another storm hitting me...

Crap the life out of me... Just normal heavy rain then massive flash with which you heard the crack of the lightning, then an immediate thunder roll. Two more flashes have just followed. Also hear sirens going off so something might have got struck

[Dave Clarke]

I have had 3 different storms here today,

1st 16.40z ish Clockwise rotation with poss squirells tale from lowering, loads of cg

2nd 17.45z Very slight clockwise rotation, moderate cg, hail and very raggedy trailing edge of storm.

3rd 19.20z A few cg and some cc lightning and a 10 minute hail shower.

Over all, a great afternoon here

[kold weather]

a weak T-storm hit about 30 minutes ago as David described it,hail was very heavy for a breif time,certainly the heaviest I've seen since last July in the large 17th MCS system.

A second hand report, but recently spoke to family in Laindon Essex, who experienced a very heavy hail shower at around 6-30PM.

Thunderstorm passed through here around 6-6:30pm.

[Paul Sherman]

I know this is a bit late but London had another brief thunderstorm at about 7pm tonight, not as bad as the 5pm one but 2 in one day is great.
