My mate just texted me .. was out the back having a ciggie..swears he seen lightning..i went out to check it out couldnt see anything but it does feel very still and 'thundery'

He did mate. It's just past us and it's heading your way. Hope this makes your day.

The net weather suicide warning from the met office should be extended to the 18th of september 2011 hahaha

Love it...cheers my man.

Didn't last too long but a fair good flashes and rumbles. Think there's more coming. Really hope they come your way Toddy boy!!!

[carlisle 321]

nothing here even though the rain is very heavy. when is the cold front arriving and will it generate thunder and lightning for my area?

[Summer of 95]

Its not very often the met office mention the T word. So I'm staying up lol

It'll take more than one distant rumble over Wolverhampton to wake me up- after yet another day of boring Shropshire cloud.

[Static Prevails]

I'm already getting tired. How pathetic. :lol:

I'll occupy myself with Crazy Cabbie and Helicopter Game as things to do until there's some development. I expect things to start happening in a few hours time, hopefully.

tried to get the cat in for the night because of heavy downpours and as I closed the door a flash of lightning-very high up though.

I feel the same way. Family guy is on but repeat of a repeat of a repeat is enough to send me into a coma

I so feel your pain mate

[Costa Del Fal]

My advice...

...just go to bed. :lol:

[A.J]

Ok, thats enough shannanigans from me tonight! (sorry, I was bored and wanted to inject some humour..lol)....It's been a long day of sky/radar watching and I need to look at the back of my eyelids for a few hours...Good luck to everyone tonight for storms, to those whose got one, well done...to those who are still waiting, remember, good things come to those who wait, and to those who moan, then may your plumes dissapate and shrivel (sounds nasty...lol)

Just had a nice storm here, went on from around 21:30, and stopped about half an hour ago. I went outside to watch it, and got SOAKED through, streets were like rivers. Had to come back in home as some of the strikes were getting abit too close for comfort! Best we`ve had here for a while meh thinks.

[Albion Snowman]

A real conveyer belt of moderate/heavy rain being pulled up from France on the radar. Been raining quite heavily here for the last 1.5 hours, and it is needed! Not too fussed that its not thundery yet, a good storm skirted me yesterday and we really do need rain.

[bobbydog]

its definately raining....

IVE JUST SEEN A FLASH OF.... inspiration... i'm going to bed

[Static Prevails]

So, is the more thundery rain supposed to come from behind this current band, or will more storms just be embedded in this one?

[NUT]

Just a band of rain coming into us now (Not long started)

[StormChaseUK]

I think it will be rain to follow rain.

[The watcher]

Okay, the cluster moving up the East coast of Ireland, now around Belfast has arrived, rain has become heavy and the wind has picked up. Doesn't look active electrically at the moment, probably remnants of an earlier short lived/pulse type storm.

[ZONE 51]

tipping it down here..good for the snails0: on mobile now. waiting for developments of an electrical type! were in a spanish plume so its got to happen?not always but the potential is their, if u get a storm can u say location in post as many cant see it in thread on some settings thanks.

[mark-anstee]

torrential downpour here now

[matt_in_dudley]

Absolutely peeing it down! No thunderstorms at all today! So much for the forecast! Been raining since around 8pm! No thunderstorms likely either! lame!

[DAVID SNOW]

And stil no rain,my poor pansies are becoming very frustrated now

[weatherobsuk]

Nice feature moving into South Wales. Looking like a squall-line feature beginning to form on the frontal edge or a bow-echo reflection.

[paul m]

Only light rain here in Leeds still very humid
