Sun shining brightly with light rain grrrrr

[Wilxy]

yes your right..there are growing along the estuary....Some other people on here might get this storm..Its expanding rapidly..

Massive anvil top on it..

More comming up from the sOuth but not sure if I will see them

Also if u go on sat24 you will see that very soon they will travel more westerly than Southwesterly soon.

[sunny scunny]

lmfao, was waiting for you to pop online and here you are.

Its going to get pretty bad in the next hour here mate!

Afternoon Lewis

It's very dark here, and im surprised that nothing is happening yet.

[NorthantsSnow]

Looks like a potent line of showers are currently approaching Northants from the west. Currently scattered cloud with some sunshine breaking through.

[azores92]

Yeah, nice line of storms down there. They're been caused by the trough which is just crossing the Midlands so they will continue to transfer eastwards. Interestingly, there's another trough just off Wales, though I'm not sure if that'll likely develop any more storms. Good day for the Midlands!

the trough near wales could well bring in another batch, the showers will probably not fade away until 7/8pm. another cell is crossing me, bringing moderate precipitation, about 8mm so far today, not bad at all

the one that hit me is so large it would take 3 pics to get the Anvil head in the picture

this one(pic) is to my North..not the one that hit me

[Wynn D Woo]

its all heading for chelt. Miles away from glos etc.

Yep nothing here yet again!

The up side is had a good day for getting the washing out and dried, plenty of wind no rain.

[Terminal Moraine]

Thunder rumbling away to my south west at present and a heavy shower just starting.

[SalopWatcher]

Bit gutted about what we ended up getting today compared to other parts of the Midlands just east of here...

Looking at Radar from this afternoon, looks like that trough really got going just east of Shropshire, and although we got a few distant rumbles from it, you guys got all the action. The most potent cell around that time went about 10-15 miles south of here, pretty sure thats where the rain we got came from...

Notabley cooler here now, and not stormy at all... does not look like much coming out of Mid Wales, with the SW and SW Midlands in the fireing line for the moment...

[azores92]

that batch of showers over wales is starting to head eastwards, definitely one to watch.

[sunny scunny]

Thunder and lightning now but no rain

[dogs32]

thanks Weather 09...Im glad I can say at least I saw bolt's of lightning and thunder in UK this year....My prediction of August was one day out

I just might have a bolt on video..will have a look later

this is the one that hit here earlier

[azores92]

weather09, i would have thought it would take less than a couple of hours for the showers in wales to head our way, but who knows eh, we might get lucky.

[sunny scunny]

A good storm here with torrential rain,thunder and lightning

[Andy Bown]

I have still not seen any lightning this year!

But aside from that annoyance, the sky today is stunning!

[NorthantsSnow]

Very dark to my west. Thunder & lightning observed 1532. Rain approaching.

[ItIsGee]

nice storm in manchester a tthe moment! nice larger hail than normal!

[azores92]

nice storm in manchester a tthe moment! nice larger hail than normal!

the showers in wales are merging together now

[NorthantsSnow]

Ack- that storm I mentioned earlier only just clipped us. Too far north. But there's plenty more showers packing in behind- interesting!

[CardiffStorm]

I really wish I was on the other side of the Channel, theres just a line of rain over Cornwall/Devon atm. Everything seems to be either to the East or West of me right now.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Just had a heavy blustery shower, possibly with a bit of thunder thrown in. Yet again it seems like so close but so far!
