Several storms in and around the Bristol area at the moment.

Overhead thunderstorm in Newbury at 1715 with some real close CG and a microburst of rain lasting 8 minutes. The rain was being blown from east to west on strong winds that gave it a tropical, monsoon-like feel.

[THE MISSFITS]

Overhead thunderstorm in Newbury at 1715 with some real close CG and a microburst of rain lasting 8 minutes. The rain was being blown from east to west on strong winds that gave it a tropical, monsoon-like feel.

Speaking to relatives near Thatcham (RG7 postcode) at 5.45pm, they had been in a deluge since 5pm and thought they had had "about 3 inches of rain and close to overhead thunder". They aren't usually ones to exaggerate, so it sounded pretty vicious!

[towbar0]

Second wave here ok, pretty well bang overhead
