I shall be in the garden with a machete if anyone needs me.....

[michelle]

The rain is here now, a few more rumbles and flashes of lightning, 2 over the house and 1 which looked like it was out over the sea, I'm happy with that

[Biggin]

I almost Fainted, Cg's rotation the lot down here, not a direct hit but it allows you to see the Lightning when you are just out of the Storm!

At long last!

Congrats mate

[StLuke]

The Cg's on the back on this Storm are pretty damn good! The last one struck near the kids school just now, bet they are going to be chuffed.

Will upload some pics in a bit, the structure is pretty damn good for the UK!

As you say some cracking CG's in that storm had a great view looking towards the estuary, hopefully more to come!

[k66yla]

The thunder has just started here, looking very dark outside.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

[Steve C]

[Biggin]

Had a thunderstorm about 20 minutes ago, as fast as it came through it disappeared. Bright sunshine now.

[k66yla]

Quite a bit of T & L and a really heavy downpour

Convection all but vanished now, looks like any other cloudy day with the odd sunny spell. Shame, looked far better at 10am.....

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Did someone shut the energy off in the South? Everything is dieing out :/

[Swave Snow]

Hi anybody think NW London will get in on the action, been waiting all day?

You had some interesting weather headed your way at one point, however it died a death and then convection fired up to the south ( where I live ) It's so difficult to predict this weather with certainty, as cells continually form and decay. You can only really say 'might' etc.

It looks like there's another line of potential from roughly Thetford to SW of Luton. Whether it gets to us, or anything fires up in the meantime, who knows?

I know that there's supposed to be a ridge approaching. This, together with the declining sun, will likely kill storm possibilities after early evening.

[Biggin]

Hmmnn incoming in the next 15 mins for me?? But is it electrical?? Dont think so.

[john pike]

plenty of convection shooting up

has gone black here now

[snow raven]

The missus confirms storm over home (Barnehurst). Sadly bright sunshine here in the City. Another one missed

Noooooo! And nothing going on here at work by London Southbank other than dull grey skies. So not fair!

[john pike]

torrential rain at present

no thunder though

Indeed. Best chance for us is that view over South London on our commute home as the train heads between Kidbrooke and Eltham

One good turn deserves another?

[Coast]

Two really big and deep rumbles here now, sounds like a volcano exploding (no, I've never been beside a volcano as it explodes!)

[lottiekent]

Send it my way please Coast! Had a very nice downpour around midday with some thunder and hail mixed in Unfortunately I was at work but still great to see/hear...more please!
