Woken here in Saltburn in the last few minutes by a huge rumble of thunder. Storm has reached us although it seems to have calmed slightly in the last few minutes.

Yeah I could here thunder here although think it was further up the coast towards Northumberland. Whats it like down there now?

Morning! The main electrification appears to be more northerly over the open spaces (you could look for a Morpeth cam) but you could search for a Middlesbrough cam just incase the blob further south to me makes it across Middlesbrough electrified?

[sunny scunny]

Torrential rain has just started here.

The storm didn't last long but is seemingly intensifying again. No thunder heard for the last 20 mins or so but its very grey and misty.

[Eye to the sky]

Rain gauge currently on 18mm after last nights storm!!,still raining now.

[Liam J]

Warm and bright here this morning, 16.1c atm. The heaviaest PPN is actually falling over NE England and SE Scotland currently with a batch of very heavy stuff heading for the Humber and around that area from the North Sea.

[Neilsouth]

How the hell did the north east get thunderstorms from the same band??? it was warmer/muggier here as we were closer to the continent :(

[The PIT]

Not a lot happening here biggest threat so far was the early morning fog which is now lifting. Plenty of activity to the east it's just a question whether it will survives the journey here or not. Local forecast shows it moving through pretty quickly so if we're going to get the rumored amounts you're looking at 25 mm an hour which will be interesting.

[sunny scunny]

Already nearly 5mm of rain.It's now easing off a little.

[Biggin]

Ok the world is your oyster, go to Google maps, focus on England, top right hand side is a Web Cam overlay on a drop down menu.

[Liam J]

If you play the radar loop back, the showers over NE England developed just off shore and exploded as the energy made landfall. Please send them this way

Wasn't really expecting most of the action to be across the North, maybe I will be lucky today.....

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

I'm back up home now in County Durham, and I've just been woken up by very loud thunder and the sound of torrential rain. I wasn't expecting that!

I think I missed most of it, I only heard the last rumble but it was very loud and long.

That's got to be the best way of being woken up possible.

[Costa Del Fal]

Whilst some storms for the North, the main rain band looks no where near as intense for the Midlands and tbh, looks as if it will clear with not too much rainfall. Good!

[Liam J]

Strikes detected so far today, the action seems to be from a line north of the Humber straight across.

Very havy ppn moving westwards across N England.

Looks like some rotation on the radar to the NE of East Anglia?

Hope you've got good drainage!

[Gorky]

Near constant thunder woke me up this morning. Not looking forward to the trip to work with reports of the main road into town closed due to downed power lines on the news... :o

[Deluxe]

more thunder here, albeit more distant. gorky are you in scarboro? (mobile netweather doesnt show locations)

[richardc1983]

its come over really dark here in Leeds, drizzly at the moment but the carpark lights have come back on at work. Nightshift finishes at 8 then I have a drive home on the motorway.

[Snow free zone]

For those of us West of the Pennies we will wait and see how this lot holds together. The main area of rain seems to approaching E - W over the Humber at the moment. Those in the East look like they are in

for quite a soaking.
