[dallas]

can see alot of bullish black clouds building up, seem to be drifting over the estuary toward essex

[UKSupercell]

And YET AGAIN - Buckinghamshire, is gonna have DAMN ALL, AGAIN.

For crying out LOUD. All we're gonna get tonight is a bit of moderate rain there will be damn all storms as per usual they take either option A or B.

A: Dissipate

B: Move TOWARDS KENT LIKE ALWAYS.

Looks like a boring, miserable and wet night here I'm thinking.

Unless, that useless, boring mother nature can prove me wrong.

[bodhimander]

Great stuff - a fair bit of lightning in Worthing - saw quite a large cloud base over Lancing with nice CG forks.

Really hammering it down now - porch flooding ahoy!

[Alex95]

i doubt that what will happen but slightly concerning nonetheless.

Why do you doubt this? I think this looks similar to the 6th September last year (the day Morpeth was flooded - 109mm fell here and only 50-60mm was forecast if I remember correctly)

[londonsnow]

big blobs of rain in london, and distant rumbling

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Well looks all over for me for now! I'll be back later. I enjoyed my 5 rumbles and 3 flashes. More next year. LOL.

[Coast]

Off to the seafront first, I'll wave at you MR CB! (silver SAAB convertible)

[tinybill]

i will very surprised not to wake up to news of a lot of places flooded over night

[Karen Ann]

Wow by the look of the lightning detectors I really should get to see or hear something this evening, HOWEVER, I am not very good at reading charts and directions so if some kind person would be lovely enough to inform me what my chances are, I'd be a happy bunny. I think I may be too far SW and I'm never normally one to ask this question (usually go for pot luck) but those detectors look so lively I feel the urge to ask. So exciting.

Getting very dark here now, big blobs of rain, i love that sound of everyone in the street closing windows and banging doors closed as if they know something is coming

[k66yla]

Just started raining here albeit not very hard, getting very dark to the S/SW

[Geordiesnow]

I doubt the rainfall will be as intense all the time as the graphics states but i do sadly expect some flooding tomorrow. It will be intersting for sure too see how much rain actually does fall around here.

[MPfreeUK]

weak storm just passing to my west in crawley, got a couple of flashes on video which i am uploading to youtube. Seems to have moved to north now

[YokTok]

BOOM! Whoo hoo

[saint]

Yep got the same here Andy, has got dark and blobs of rain have just started.

[Noctilucid]

Incredibly angry sky to the SW, its all fairly high based by the looks of things, this will be the 2nd storm of the week in what has been a very thundery month for me.

[maidstone weather]

yeah raining here too - most odd! are we developing a storm above us?

[azores92]

Yep got the same here Andy, has got dark and blobs of rain have just started.

the radar from 8.30 makes the rain band seem very fragmented, a very messy picture indeed.
