Hailstorm around 10.40am followed just a few minutes ago by a rumble of thunder from it's back edge that's clearing over the Salisbury Plain!

Rumbles of thunder and the odd flash here in torrential rain near Dorking in Surrey.

Probably the best storm of the year here just now (not saying much) but a fair bit of lightning and some reasonably loud thunder..

[WilBeDed]

Here in the Cheltenham area, we've had some rain and some thunder, no rain as of yet...

Report number 2 for today.

A storm that seemed to split into 2 seperate cells :unsure: as lightning was coming to my E and then to my N as the storm slipped NW-SE. A slight clearance appeared between these 2 areas of the sky.

Sun shining here all the time with a great effect on the nearest CG purple bolt B) !! Several nice CCs too!

Lightning was towards Trowbridge/Bradford on Avon/Devizes/Melksham!

Thunder not too loud but some very gusty (gale?) winds blowing around it's W flank!

[Louby]

just had hail and a bit of thunder. It looked more menacing as it was coming towards us,

A decent storm here in Canterbury an hour ago.

Thunder, lightning, and 30-40 mins of moderate rain.

Witnessed two awesome C-C strikes right above me.

Pic 2: Trying to photo the rain, not the heaviest I've seen but no too bad as I wasn't expecting anything!

Pic 3: First large drops of rain

Pic 4: Storm comming from northwest direction

Ace Tim B) (I'll forgive you the surname spelling :unsure: )

They seemed to develop at your end of the Bristol Channel and funnel SE iDoh a dumb swear filter got the better of me!

Still near here now with a few more rumbles in the last 15 mins.

[Tim]

Ah yeah sorry, never noticed before! The pics came up in the post in a differnt order than I'd expected so just had to edit it so it makes sense! Like your earlier post it was a bit difficult to tell in which direction these storms were moving. At first I thought they were comming from the northwest, then it seemed to have more of a westerly movement then I even wondered if they were heading northeast
