Just had heavy rain with thunder and lightning up here, strike alert is still beeping like crazy.

Will confirm that.

Set off from Home at 6:15 am and drove into storm around the Dudley area with very heavy rain and numerous CG. Continous heavy rain all down the M5 with patches of stormier weather and CG as far as Cheltenham area. Became clearer at approx 8am over the Cotswolds towards Swindon. From there on down the M4 corridor eastwards clear blue skies and baking heat.

Thunder and lightening followed by heavy rain this morning. Skies now quite grey in the distance again and I think I heard thunder but cannot be sure.

Torrential rain, loud thunder and lightning in Leeds- and it was bright sunshine just ten minutes ago!

Edit: that was at 3pm; now we have a second storm that is even bigger than the last one.

Edit2: Continuous thunder from 16:11 to 16:26. Thunder seems to be coming from all directions.

Torrential rain - like sheets and high winds accompanied the thunderstorm in Tadcaster plenty of CG lightning and looks to be another storm on the way now - may be TWS's I guess

[rob_weiss]

Just been outside and heard 2 rumbles not to far away. Still Sunny atm but there is very large dark cloud/cell to my south, still hugely stickly.

[Stray]

Just starting to get cloudy and dark here in Reading, breeze has dropped, stonkingly hot.

Heavy rumble of thunder with a torrential downpour last night, hope you enjoy your storms!

[flagpole]

Rumbling away nicely here now

[splidge]

Spectacular display here!

Heaviest rain I have seen for ages and about 1 strike every 30 secs - some close.

Lasted about 15 mins - now starting to recede - heading north by the sound of it.

This was the third 'storm' here today, but by far the worst (or best depending on how you look at it!)

Has been very hot & sticky here - slightly better now.

Big thunderstorm coming my way :unsure:

Yes, according to Meteorologica display, there seem to be 2 main streams of storms originating in the Midlands, one heading up the Trent valley, the other heading towards The Wash.

Still rumbling here quite frequently.

[stumathers]

Had some short lived heavy rain this morning with distant rumbles of thunder over the peaks. since mid afternoon there have been distant rumbles all around with more very heavy but short lived downpours. Very humid.

And in Rothwell approx 3 miles away to the south east of Leeds we had a few rumbles of thunder very little lightening that i could see and some very heavy rain that didn't last that long.

Was in pudsey on the west side of leeds just before 3pm and caught the edge of storm 1. Some real good long deep rumbles of thunder and some cloud to ground lightening. stopped very quickly. On the journey back to rothwell there seemed to have been a lot of rain from Armley to approx junction 4 of the M621 (those of you that know leeds will know where i am on about). Rothwell was dry until about 4.15pm when we got some large drops of rain which did turn into a bouncing heavy shower (which the kitten found totally facinating :unsure: )

Miss all the good stuff here

[Hurricane Andrew]

Raining here very heavy and loud thunder :unsure:
