@pat carter Are you talking about the line by oxford/reading?

[Paul Sherman]

It was a funnel cloud as its disintergrated :'(

Cool

Seeing as you recorded it make sure you put a screenshot on here later for us

Yes Pat it is believe it or not going to threaten South Glouc first

[andy_leics22]

LOL, the sun is out here now and it's all over.

We had about 2 rumbles of thunder, not enough rain to wet the ground and it's just fizzled out over us, typical!

Anybody notice that the old front coming down from the north seems to be pepping up again ????

[vortex_liam]

1000 cape with the reading band :lol:

[Joey.G]

Cell popped up by Worcester, extremely fast to get to 120mm+ rainfall rate, think its time to go to the top of a hill with this laptop!

It is realy funny realy isnt it....

I need to calm down myself... :lol:

good luck Joey...nice anvil back of Lecky also

[Crimson_Sprite]

Ive learnt my lesson, if I go driving up there ill be storm chasing.... chasing them all away lol, then Crimson Sprite will probably either kill me or explode :lol:

:lol: I've already exploded- those storms never reached me!!! Its so cold out now I had to wear a sweat jacket to the post office, and the storms are dying. I still have my storm donut around me, (note picture below) so you can chase them all ya like, maybe they will run right into me then!!!!

[westysweather]

have i got chance of anything down here then?

[wallopweather]

Perhaps Paul Sherman should open a Thunderstorm theme park along the lines of Chessington or Thorpe and give us the real taste of American weather?

people would only complain if they got there to find it raining

[Wilxy]

Can see lightning to my south building nicely :lol:

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Anybody notice that the old front coming down from the north seems to be pepping up again ????

I noticed that, I'm under it. A dull, damp and boring day here.

Just been looking at the radar and the storm motions are very interesting, some of the cells are barely moving anywhere so some places must be getting hammered by intense rain.

Accumulation on Netweather radar showing some parts with around 40mm in the last hour!

Hope people are getting good photos/videos of the action.

[wallopweather]

localised flooding causing a few travel issues in Salisbury

[Marcus_surfer]

Can confirm Thunder & Lightning just to my south here, deep rumbles over the South Coast towards Swansea Airport.
