it is a little isn't it, i just can't sleep at all, like a kid at christmas atm, rumblings aplenty, lots of deluges and only had a few hours sleep happy days!

14 secs from bright lightning flash = 3 miles away, in the bag...really want these to develop, expand and yes hit Cheshire eventually

Don't mind sharing lol.

[matt_in_dudley]

Sun was beginning to make an appearance. I can hear rumbles coming from somewhere. Atleast let me get in the car before you start raining again lol. Very humid still. Fan is back on lol

[Costa Del Fal]

Commence round 2

[nitro_deluxe]

Not quite as severe as the first batch, yet.. thunder and lightning steadily growing in frequency, bring it on now torrential rain!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Its thundering, unbelievably sticky warmest night at 18.3°c minimum

[Costa Del Fal]

Like how there is 2 lines if storms closely next to each other coming up. Should keep things busy!

Thunder is continuous now

At times.

[Wadey]

Just looked at NW France, things that make you say hmmm...now that woud be great for this evening on greedy? Must be quite frustrating to be either side of these bands of storms though, been there plenty of times before. Just within the action today.

[Costa Del Fal]

Really dark and closing in now. Lightning quite close but it's hard to tell if it's intra cloud or cloud to ground.

sheet lightning im pretty sure

[Costa Del Fal]

Very similar to 28th June last year this is - in the morning again too!!

[tom_f123]

This current storm better then the one earlier here, lightning more frequent, think we missed a direct hit from last one.

[nitro_deluxe]

Main Mids conurbation seeing the worst of it now, nothing overly major here - darker skies to my SE.

Lichfield, Cannock, Tamworth next in line..Coventry S Brum area looks like seeing a good one soon?

[STORMGUY]

well i had a storm at work about 5:25am this morning now iv finished my night shift am recording the storms moving up now louds of thunder n lightning

[Staffordshire]

Still look to be heading into a weaker area as things stand, please weather gods give me something more intense and ill be satisfied for the year!

[azores92]

27mm of rain here today from showers, very wet indeed. Just get the feeling we are over the worst of it now as the main action transfers northwards

[Clazzer]

Getting dark here now and rain started again, some distant rumbles south of me and it looks pretty black too. Hopefully round two will deliver
