Seriously - look at this anvil from a storm to the WNW (presumably the Herts storm)

It is so rounded, and robust, it could easily be a mothership in the distance :D

In fact, can see a few cells really booming - both to the WNW and the S!

Hopefully, there may be enough time for a few more to crack off before the High moves in.

In fact, look at these two babies to my SW!

These are rapidly developing - and considering there is so much blue sky and heating around here, these could turn out to be really quite potent thunderstorms! Hopefully, I will make it back home to watch them slide past (a lot of hoping...never mind :D )

Had a loud rumble of thunder from those cells over staffs, and................that was it, no more! :D

They still look nice on radar, with more streaming down SEwards from North Wales

I think they were IC- or at least the ones I saw were, because they didn't reach the ground.

I assumed that would be it for today in Norwich but there is another cluster of heavy showers moving into the far west of East Anglia now, which could be interesting if they keep their intensity.

Would be good if they headed in this direction, It looked a disticnt possibility that we'd have something big, wasn't to be, collapsed to just 3mm of rain and now the sun's out!!

And I'm just 14 miles North of Norwich as the crow flies. Typical showers

I think it was the northern edge of the trough that was at fault - it seemed to break off and move through NW Norfolk leaving the top of the remaining trough to pass me and TWS.

That would be the storms that hit Sevenoaks then :D those pics are brilliant!! :D

Some stunning landscaping! Presumably those storms are what formed the mammatus over London earlier!

Just noticed also, pictures 3 and 4 capture the green-ness brilliantly - which also correlates with the hail reports I got from the Sevenoaks storm too!

You whinging again? :D

If it is any consolation, I got one rumble today, and moderate/heavy rain at times - that was it.

Other than the mammatus display earlier, I've had nothing!

The feature in that first photo - left of centre - is that a funnel clud, or a downdraft? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know, but it's definitely a lump of cloud coming out of the main cell? :D

Hows it looking your way now?

Just spoke to friend on the A1 and they say it was very active over Baldock!

Its still going off here, constant rumbles of thunder, not as much lighting though (did see a cracking couple of CG strikes and quite a few sheets though).

All in all, quite a good 45 mins worth so far, but had very little rain, but wind really picked up at one point but thats passed now.

Can still here the Lightning detector alarm going off at either the RAF base (where the police helicopter lives) or the Golf course.

Thunder getting louder, no lightning seen yet.

Thunder getting much louder.

and that was because of a heavy lunch! :D

I've just gone rushing to the window as I heard a distant rumble in what are otherwise clear blue skies. It was something falling over in the back of a DHL van!!!!! :D

Someone 'falling over' in the DHL van was it...lol! Tut tut!

Still some huge anvils to my NW at the moment - blue skies overhead with wispy Ci - pretty much been like this now for the last hour/hour and a half.
