Sunny/windy here, all storms are either side of me, a line to the West and a line to the East, stunning cloudscapes, are they likely to continue as we approach darkness this eve? As if so will get out with the camera.

[lfcdude]

again just miss out again.. damn

[Andy Pepler]

34.7 mm of rain in 25 mins..that was one frell of a violent storm..from such a tiny cell.. thunder still cracking on....more please

[Andy Bown]

Well that was fun!

Watched a stunning CB approach from Frome towards Westbury which the changed direction from SSW-NNE to NW-SE direction meaning I was able to watch lightning all around the NW-SE sides of the house while overhead only had a few minutes of heavy rain!

Mostly IC and sheet lighting though a few CC streaks and loud thunder.

One fascinating aspect was how scud was boiling beneath the CB base.

[lfcdude]

Maybe not lightning 8 seconds away... going by thunder to seaing constant flashes

Seems to be just missing us...had some heavy rain about 4 pm and a few rumbles of thunder. Looks like another storm incoming but to the north west of us again! I have had such a pressure headache all day so I need a good storm to clear it! What's my chances?

[Andy Pepler]

Getting another heavy shower now but this time with no thunder.

 

Been hearing a few more faint rumbles towards Warminster way.

[AWD]

Are you a train driver?

Nearly. Secondman/shunter. Work on the freight side of things.

[wimblettben]

God its pouring it down now!

I never need an excuse to go off the rails and neither do you it seems.   Sounds like fascinating work, in all seriousness.

 

Judging by the radar, tis looking highly likely that Newbury might get an overhead storm shortly. Estimated arrival time 1815BST. So far, despite a fair few distant rumbles, storms have gone due North and South of my location.

That last one split due to the higher ground to the north and south - surely the next one? incoming...

[A.J]

I've been hearing thunder from that cell heading towards Andover for the past 30 minutes, must be really active still!

[Nights King]

Some large accumulations from these showers today. Wish my rain guage was working  just got home and everything has run off round here!

 

However if the netweather radar is accurate some of my area received a good 60mm of rain today.
