rains coming down heavy here now,big heavy rain drops and my dogs definitely sensing something acting abit weird...

 

 

and rumbles in the distance now too...so that explains the dogs behaviour!

No sferics now for 9 minutes!! Was quite funny as it all just stopped as if someone switched all the storms off!

That's because the area of rain reached Thetford and said..."good grief, I've reached Norfolk, better turn off the blues and twos"

On the plus side (and it's a teensy little plus) it's raining...

[Weather-history]

To my naked eye, the rain on the western flank seems to be getting heavier on the radar.

^{well still happening here, just had two more large lighting bolts and plenty of thunder.}

[stewfox]

Just driven down from Cheshire to North Oxfordshire via M6 M40. Heavy rain and some surface flood water. People still driving at 90mph expect accidents to happen. Not seen /heard much thunder/lighting

Everything was bigger in the 80s, trousers, lapels, yeah storms...we even had big ears! Remember them well, watching to the south for the first flicker, all before tinternet reports etc..case of all or nothing and not even knowing just 10 miles down the road got clobbered All whilst listening to Duran Duran or Human League..

[Eye to the sky]

Just had 2 almighty flashes and crashes here,first since around 8pm.Very sharp claps of thunder!!,maybe things are looking up after all.😀😀

more lightning here too, lighting up the room yet a good few seconds between the lightning and thunder. Really humid, rain slightly heavier.

[wimblettben]

To be honest I think there is a much higher chance for something thundery tomorrow compared to today especially for southwestern areas northwards. Going by a lot of the forecasts I have seen there will definately be some pretty potent showers around so I wouldn't be suprised.
