Good photos for a mobile.Looks like that rain wont be thundery for a while... :'(

wish i had some weather to take photos of! Got 8MP and HD video capture on my phone yet there's nothing weatherwise to use it on! Keep missing the action here

[MP-R]

Just had a rumble of thunder, rather quiet so may be distant as I didn't notice any lightning. Moderate rain now after a heavy burst before the thunder.

[Nick F]

Yes, GFS shows some MLCAPE moving E across Sern England post cold front which is extending SW from the triple point roughly over W Sussex/E Hants atm. Wouldn't be surprised of the odd rumble around the Solent area - with some bright echoes there atm near the triple point.

[Tim]

Can confirm Michaels post, thunders now started rumbling in Southwest Bristol now, about 4 rumbles so far.

[Neilsouth]

Rather intense radar heading across the south and into south east england

[ZONE 51]

thats more like it, just needed some thunder reports down sw(someone said bristol did) then it more likely the se would get some later. (:

[Guest Quantumsnow]

One rumble heard here in w. Sussex albeit distant. Looks like i'm east of the main action though anything is gratefully received.

i like the storm forecast, and its dark now, so any single flashes would be seen! it does look like more chance then last time for the s/se as already been thunder and lightning in sw!

Friend just text me, thundering in Northumberland around Alnwick.

[NL]

Some impressive Cb's around here on the NE coast shame the showers are over the North sea. I wouldn't be suprised to see moderate sized hail if they were overhead.

[Neilsouth]

Gone rather dark here with a dark shower cloud coming across

[Cheshire Freeze]

Just had an almighty downpour here, no thunder though. You about SnowGo?

[Iceni]

Isnt that the same one?

Nope. The first one was in Great Livermere, Suffolk on Monday, which is @ 7 miles east of me.

This one was further south in Essex on Thursday.

sferics in noth norfolk earlier, thats a great CB pic Plastikman:good:

[Guest FireStorm]

That makes 2 in the same area then - stanford le hope had 1 on Aug 14

[Alex95]

Torrential rain this morning with enormous drops of rain. Reminded me of a sunshine and snow showers notherly somehow

[TonyH]

I thought that thin trough line looked interesting across the Midlands, giving a 10 minute downpour in most places as it travels south this afternoon.

[TonyH]

That line stretching from Suffolk through south Midlands to Cardigan Bay is giving a very heavy squally shower here.

[CardiffStorm]

That line of showers in the East has really developed in the last 30 mins.

[TornadoJo]

Check out the date on this report. I'm wondering if it is the same one on the 14th...
