Two fantastic cu-nimbs about 5-10 miles to my east and southeast. Typical they should form there on the one day the wind isn't coming from that direction.

Impressive cloudscapes now appearing S/W and N of here in Medway. Haze to the north making it impossible to catch the very high shooting cumulus on camera.

Wear sunglasses to filter the haze for yourself to see the tops etc.... see if it works also for the camera if u dont have a filter..

Temperature is dropping rather fast here in Telford now! from 23c to 20c in half an hour.

Dark skies still to the west, that storm over Wales needs to slide east more.

If you can see the CB itself then the lightning is probably hidden inside a rain band falling from it, a lot of it may also be internal which you usually can't see in the daylight.

Ari, has it missed you completely now as well? I think the actual storm thought ''Hmm, getting close to Derbyshire, RETREAT!''

I honestly don't think I'll see anything all day now.

Should have passed if not passing over your region currently. Have a look to your east and west -- if you see clouds "bubbling up" to your east and skies becoming clearer to your west, the low-level converging winds have passed and the winds should be flowing north-westerly over your region. In other words, it may be that the risk of thunderstorms for the west Midlands has passed... for the time being, that is.

that maybe happening clouds obscured the sun for a while but they seem to moving away

Remember much of yesterday's action didn't start till post 5pm. I don't think the storm risk has gone here yet in the W Mids otherwise the cells over wales wouldn't be very good unless it's just convergence.

Looks like as soon as the region of low-level converging winds had passed a short time ago and the winds veered north-westerly, convection just fell apart. Incredible to watch. One moment I was looking at defined TCu to my west, and then soon after the skies are clear. Just the way it goes I suppose.

something developing now to the East of you.... as im typing thats just stoped dead in it`s tracks

Yes heading away northwards now, not hearing any more thunder. I still have some hope for later, but not much to be honest! Even something on my doorstep like the Sheffield cell would be better when skies darken this evening!

I just love the way that when it was about to hit you/us, it decides to shrivel up and run away. :lol:

I'm keeping my eye on these Welsh border showers, but I'm not holding much hope for them.
