Erm a good few sferics have been detected and can now hear deep booms of thunder.

well not here mate, only a rumble of thunder, no flashes yet. still though, we got hit head on by that shower, seem to have bore the brunt.

Exactly where "near to Birmingham" are you?

I'd guess redditch or Bromsgrove? B)

Well things here are looking better now, convection is kicking of like mad although mostly to the south, but it should head this way.

[Tim B]

Looks like there is some precipitation starting up in the pennines, come on, bring me a storm already..

[Kain]

Just had a rumvle of thunder, from absolute nowhere!

[Nick L]

I just know that this is going to miss me by less than a mile, going dark to my south and huge towering cumulonimbus approaching, and I think I can hear very, very distant thunder.

[Kain]

Yep, will miss me by about 5 miles, headed W. Very dark and so hot right now.

Looks like its coming to me :o

At bloody last

[tom_f123]

That storm passed now, few flashes and some nice thunder pretty weak though, just starting to rain now on the backedge not as heavily as i thought it would though.
