Post your storm reports here.

[kold weather]

An intresting storm overnight, some very loud thunder as well which suggests the core came pretty close.

[Rob W]

It's very dark with moderate rainfall and, though no lightning was seen, I've just heard a rumble of thunder.

[Pale Blue Sky]

A couple of very close lightning bolts amid the heavy rain here in Northampton a few minutes ago.

[Dp1981]

Thunder here about an hour ago nothing else

[flagpole]

Loud thunder here now.

It's the 29th btw.

[splidge]

Just had torrential rain for the past hour so. Roads flooded. Very dark.

Lightning and thunder have been fairly frequent - about 10 per minute at its peak. Most seem to have been cloud-to-cloud.

Storm came from Nottingham direction, and has now just cleared here in Newark, and seems to be heading east.

(By the way, the date is the 29th, not the 28th.)

Think we had the same storm!

Frequent thunder and lightning, torrential rain and the roads were flooded. Cool

[Damone]

Just had around 5 - 6 rumbles of thunder. Can't tell whether there was any visible lightning, as I was hding under my duvet at the time

God, I hope this ends soon! My nerves are shot!

[splidge]

Another storm coming from West! Sky has suddenly got dark and it has started raining. Thunder and lightning slowly getting nearer. About 6 strikes heard so far.

[Rustynailer]

I wonder will anything come of that lot just over west Cornwall? Perhaps Kent will get distant rumbles from the storm over Calais, it seem to be moving East though

Sorry, should have posted this in the Convective general discussion, i would not be at-all offended if you moved it. My mistake

A short very heavy shower late this afternoon after a wet morning. Now mostly clear but still some cloud around and temperature dropping fast.

Current temp: 12.3c

Todays high: 18c

Humidity: 83%

[flagpole]

Just had another storm come through with very heavy rain.

Has headed off North Eastwards now.

[Cakie]

Cracking storm just started up

Lots of rain, thunder and lightening (maybe I won't have an early night )

[rob_weiss]

I witneesed one flash and crack of thunfer here in Northampton about 6pm this evening. This was during a torrential down pour.

[lightninglass]

Just had around 5 - 6 rumbles of thunder. Can't tell whether there was any visible lightning, as I was hding under my duvet at the time

hiya damone

yes we did have lightning with it, fork lightning, then 1 massive bang of thunder it was so loud it shook our house and ive never seen the dog jump so high out of her bed, she was shaking for ages after that.

[Chrisss]

Storms been rumbling since around 3AM, with it only now just getting loud an violent, with heavy rain.

[nanu]

Massive crash of thunder just woke me up... Thanks!!! <_<

[Dawlish]

Trying to dodge the showers down here, and waiting for a break so I can take the dog round the wet and muddy (first time since.....well I can't rightly remember) woods. Breezy; a force 3 Southerly and mild. Best take a brolly.

Paul

10 minutes later......

Stopped raining, got the fleece on, ecstatic dog jumps out of the door, uh-oh, more rain, shut the door again, dog depressed, then, suddenly, I can't hear myself think becuse of the noise of some torrential rain. Localised flooding stuff; no thunder, yet. Hardly looks anything on the weather radar.

[mackerel sky]

Heavy shower, gusty winds and about 5 rumbles of thunder from 2.30pm onwards today.

[Damone]

We've had fairly distant thunderstorms. I think there were at least 2 of them. It's still raining and very dark, and judging by meteox we can perhaps expect a few more within the next hour or so.
