Thunderstorm 5 miles north of Brentwood heading East, plenty of CG but little thunder?

Well it does when the cam moves to the right place..:lol:

sferics detected in cell moving SE just to the south of stoke...maybe, its not going to be an exclusive southern show...that cell's heading straight for me

[Paul Sherman]

Just been out for a few pics. Observed a Cg to my North over N London and a Nice Cg over West London.

Pics later when I get home, very very low bases to this storm and shear noted within the clouds ahead of the storm (Clouds shearing and turning over)

Suddenly I feel the urge to go for a walk. It would happen on a day when I am based at St Thomas' Hospital - an office with no bloody windows. Hopefully I won't get struck by lightning

[TornadoJo]

I missed it - was in an edit suite :lol:

Very Very Poor Effort Indeed.

Rain is spectacular but Thundery activity completely died down Pmsl!

Wondering if this is going to last by the time it gets into the far corner of Kent or fizzle out like the last band, would be nice to join in the fun. :lol:

[sunny scunny]

Torrential rain here with hail mixed in :lol:

[SnowBear]

Thundery shower going through Colchester at the moment, moderate rain, fairly loud rumbling thunder every 5 minutes at a guess...nothing spectacular but a refreshing change to have some rain.

Tell me about it - 3 rumbles and that's about it...another great performance from Mother Nature!! :lol: when oh when are we going to get a proper storm!

[chionomaniac]

Rain clouds have divided quicker than the Red Sea here, leaving Brighton missing out on the first wave. Typical!

[Coast]

After the first storm for soooo long!!!

Ah looking at the radar the usually thing is occuring, the system is weakening through Central London with rainfall on either side remaining strong, westerlies are useless for decent convection here in these sorts of things.

All I got was soaking wet - I didnt even get to hear any rumbles. What do we need to do to get a decent bloody storm around here! :lol:

We've just had 19 minutes of continuous moderately loud thunder. There wasnt a single break in the thunder sound. Never heard thunder like it before and probably never again either.

[Guest FireStorm]

Very dark looking to my W / SW from Medway. Here's hoping for storm #2 of the summer

Where would that be then MCCNS???? (can you put your location in your profile ta!!!) :lol:

[Hurricane Debby]

My first storm of the year ! yey ! No ligtning though

[tcc]

Ooo very dark to my NW and North, saw the cloud tops about half an hour ago heading this way and the rain is coming! Should be here in the next 20 min and I "think" I heard a rumble of thunder! (Might have been a plane taking off or my stomach, I'm not sure at this stage!)

[Paul Sherman]

It was truly pathetic. The radar looked good and then it just went Pffff over the London area, would class that as a Weak Thundery Shower at best and not a potent squall line. As Darren says the Northern and Southern end looking healthy still.

I really have given up on Uk Storms now, I know nothing can compare to the US But even there CF Squall lines give out more Lightning than the very worst Uk Storm.

Grim! :lol:

Now watch it suddenly pep up and hammer C & Eastern Kent like usual when it gets a Kick from the UHI Of London.

[Wet'n'Dry]

The Brentwood storm has now arrived in Basildon, still as lively. With any luck for those in Kent it may just clip the north east corner of Kent
