torrentail thundery rain here again.....

on our 3rd so far...still no Thunder

[Costa Del Fal]

Another Torrential Downpour!!!

[Muffelchen]

Needle funnel to the south (maybe over the Humber) at 13:05 today. Very small and short lived - less than a minute and I didn't have my camera.....again!

Just had another torrential downpour: would be surprised if we don't get thunder today.

[Joey.G]

Quite a few scattered showers around though at best they'll just be heavy or very heavy showers, I doubt there'll be any storms today. Little CAPE and poor lapses make storms quite unlikely.

CAPE has been building here, we have had a couple of short torrential bursts but no thunder as yet. The clouds dont look to be getting very high before anviling but from what ive just been out watching id be suprised if there were no reports of thunder on here by this evening. Couple of pics just taken

[dallas]

starting to spit here, also getting darker

[Costa Del Fal]

Alot of the showers on the radar seem to be losing intensity now. I thought many would would have gained intensity this afternoon. Oh well at least i saw one very good torrential downpour.

they are hardly losing their intensity, maybe slightly lighter, but there is still a great clump of them heading towards the west midlands. put it this way, no less intense than an hour ago.

Its nothing dramatic though i was expecting they would probably of got a bit heavier. I dont mind anyway as ive seen one good downpour anyway today.

A few showers again in the last 20mins, but nowhere near as heavy as earlier.

[Mullet69]

Thunder heard in York, could be coming from the SW but there's also some menace in the clouds to the E

[Costa Del Fal]

Another torrential downpour here!

[Evening thunder]

Weve been missing all the showers here today, just one brief one late this morning. They have all just been missing me to the north and the ones that come towards me seem to just suddenly die out before they get here.

Oh well im used to it i guess.

Just lost Sky, although rain not that heavy here.

[Muffelchen]

Thunder and lightning here now: less than one mile distant. :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

May have just seen a flash of lightning to the corner of my eye a few minutes ago but cant be sure. ATD suggests sferics north of here.

Pretty aggressive thunder here, crashing and booming, but no lightning seen yet.

That said I haven't moved from the sofa - too much happening in the golf

another torrential downpour here, very convective dark looking skies about.

Indeed, there does seem to be isolated thundery activity about now i.e odd flash of lightning and or rumble of thunder. Im not too sure whether there was definately a flash here but i thought i saw something in the corner of my eye.

I think the radar may have got stuck at 15:10-it should be at about 15:20 by now.

Torrential rain again, and the rain today radar has got stuck at 14:45 :lol:

[azores92]

blizzards, do you know what your current monthly rainfall is for july? about 60mm here.

[Costa Del Fal]

Im not sure but i would say not far offf 60mm either.

Downpour number 4 arriving here. :lol:

Ive heard 4 rumbles of thunder here in the last few minutes.It's still very dark but the rain has stopped.

[Harry]

A few very heavy downpours to the N of here - but nowt here to speak of - certainly nothing that warrants a warning of sorts. The only thing I would suggest needs a warning, is for the WIND! Very gusty here today - warm but very gusty SW'erly which has been blowing all day and getting steadily stronger.

Unless the speckles on the radar towards Hants develop some more, I think it shall probably stay largely dry here - which of course is a shame :lol:

[londonsnow]

looks like a convective day for the midlands, and wales mostly. 2 showers in london. nondescript day, but windy

[Koppite]

A Couple of pics from the heavy shower here 5 minutes ago.
