still lovely in skeggy but my dad rang me from york saying heavy rain and thunder over him

[reef]

It'll be interesting to see if those cells can make it here. Im not confident at the moment as theres a 10mph onshore breeze from the east and they'll no doubt die as they hit it!

It could be one of those days that TWS has mentioned in the past where inland sees incredible storms while the first few miles in from the coast remain dry. Hopefully not though.

[sunny scunny]

Plenty of showers around the nottingham area all of a sudden, which could effect my area in a little while as they move NE

[Coast]

latest on my lightning detector

Happy enough with that versus my guess earlier!!!!

[Staffordshire]

Hopefully theese showers in Wales will intensify

[Neilsouth]

Wind Picks up, Dark Clouds above, BIG rain drops, Cloud breaks up

[Supercell]

Another cell shot up in this area and produced a heavy downpour just now. Nothing electrical.

[Katherine Birkett]

Incredible storm here. The neighbours are having to use buckets to stop the water from entering their front doors.

We might be getting the remains of that here - thunder and forked lightning here, with moderate rain falling now.

[scottyuk]

It's gone very cloudy and overcast here, I'm not expecting much more for the rest of the day.

The Kempston/Bedford storm shield was working well today. deflecting storms north and south by only a few miles.

Looks like things could get quite interesting further north and east for the rest of the afternoon/evening?

[Cheshire Freeze]

Incredible storm here. The neighbours are having to use buckets to stop the water from entering their front doors.

Here are a couple of pics showing the huge hail and the river outside my front door!

Very jealous, that thing looks intense!

[Serendipity]

Some cells springing up to my East which does not surprise me as the sky is getting darker here now with yellowy tinged areas like you get when stormy.

[Richie V]

Nice storm exiting here now. REALLY warm rain

[VillagePlank]

Wind Picks up, Dark Clouds above, BIG rain drops, Cloud breaks up

We're good to create local storms until 6pm - still 2 hours to go

Lots of Cu building up, so who knows.

[AndyFromDonny]

Lots of cells popping up in South Yorkshire now. One just popped up over me at work in Normanton, loud thunder and heavy rain bouncing off the office roof. 30 mins and I'm out of here

[BA Baracus]

Showers popping up all over West Yorkshire now with rain and rumbles heading in to Leeds from the south west. Incidentally, there are now loads of seagulls flocking round the south of the city near Elland Road - is this a sign of anything?!

[Norfolk Sheep]

Happy enough with that versus my guess earlier!!!!

You're expecting me to DRIVE to find a storm????

[Costa Del Fal]

VERY Hot and humid feeling here with excellent convection. Looks like my estimation of the Thunder hotspot today was right. Some showers forming to my SW now. It really feels like it wants to go out with a bang this.

Yep just to note theese showers in Wales...

[Costa Del Fal]

Hopefully theese showers in Wales will intensify

Good to see some shower activity there. Its so hot and humid here today I really want it to go thundery to clear it up!

[Crimson_Sprite]

just got in from post office and the atmosphere is truly explosive. Thunder could be heard for about 5minutes as the storm formed literally like 5 miles to the east of me and then drifted east They are forming closer to me now though, surely we should get something!!!
