[GadgetWeatherFreak]

Currently at Great Cheyne farm wind turbines on a259 East Sussex, moderate rain and infrequent lightning, hoping it will intensify soon

Large cell to my north right now and i can see 2 more approaching from the south... 

 

Sferics from this storm don't seem to be being reported by the metoffice system (assuming you are in Chatham, Kent)

Came off the M1 near Barlborough in Derbyshire and to my amazement saw a funnel cloud that lasted about 45secs to a minute it was over towards Renishaw just wish my my phone wasn't broke or i could have got my partner to film it

Lightning eased up a bit here, after about a dozen vibrant IC and CGstrikes! Only elevated light-moderate rain so far!!

Odd!!

Gone round me once again. Looks like it's chucking it down to the north of me.

Brief heavy downpour..nothing too exciting. Nice looking cell though.

Welcome to NetWeather!

[poseidon]

The MCS propagation vector is pointing up the channel past Kent - this seems to be the direction most of the intense lightning is heading. It doesn't seem to change direction later on either.

No buddy im up North in Derbyshire, everything seems to be bubbling up just nicely here, sky looking very menacing in all directions from my point of view.

Lightning Dronfield way???  Probably the black cell I can see the SE of me.

Must have been lightning and nothing else witnessed a funnel cloud over Renishaw coming off the M1 at Barlborough the road was flooded near Sitwell Arms due to torrential rain yet when i got to the top of Marsh Lane it was bone dry and is bone dry in Dronfield 

[chionomaniac]

Up at devils dyke. Taken refuge in the pub. A few sporadic lightning strikes but nothing to write home about.

[Rammie]

Ten minutes of very light rain in Kettering. Stopped now. Doesn't have a thundery feel at all here. Unlike last Monday!

[Craigers]

i really hope the lightning gets going tonight as ive got the tripod ready and camera charged up!!!!! surely Doncaster should see something tonight?

The rain was very odd actually. Here is was very briefly heavy, and I was driving back from the town centre and some parts the road was soaking and others it was dry. Since I've been back in Hollingwood we've had one burst of torrential rain and not much else!

[Daydream Boy]

Another big let down :-( was getting excited about this but huff puff

[MrSunshine]

Meanwhile, back in storm starved Cheshire....  

 

Feels "stormy", and plenty of ground heating today but nothing on the cards up here for tonight I think. Wonder what it will actually take for us to get some action!!!

 

Armageddon.

A lot of rain if nothing else! I'd be surprised if there wasn't any more electrical activity. However I wouldn't be surprised to see just a few flashes and bangs sporadically through the night either, without any real frequency or organisation. Difficult really, but I guess there is scope to be surprised in a positive way!

Not finished yet duck!

[The PIT]

Apart odd spot of rain briefly nothing much to report bar cells going around me again

[dave48]

Lots of rain here, 10-15 rumbles and 1 flash of lightning.
