What I can see from my location

[SarahWxm]

Woo hoo nice thunderstorm over Wrexham atm. Only saw one flash of lightning but heard about 12 good rumbles of thunder, including one that shook the windows lol. Finally I've got a storm, shame I didn't see more lightning but can't have it all lol

Took a nice shot of a double rainbow at the beginning of the storm :-)

 Nice to see the NW now getting some thunderstorms as planned

[I Cumbria Marra I]

why isnt cumbria getting any showers? is there not enough CAPE or something?

[Backtrack]

Thundery showers here for the last couple hours, not much lightning though!

[Allseasons-Si]

Look at the size of that sheffield shield on the ATD lol!

 

 

I see the PIT is trying to smash it down

Want to light a BBQ to cook my tea on but there are storms to the south of me, if I light it it will be sods law that they head straight for me so going to leave it for half an hour or so!

[Darren Bown]

Those storms coming out of Runcorn/Wrexham seem to be heading my way. Fingers crossed they don't skirt west of me.

 Thunder in Batley, West Yorks

Nothing in Morley

[carl1980]

Sounds like a big storm incoming rumble every 30 secs

Big flash

Nothing in Morley

That cell went on to affect East Leeds - but I'm not there right now.

[Darren Bown]

Just heard a low and very distant rumble of thunder, I think from the cell to my SW. Can't see much of it yet though!

Saw lightning from the cell to my west.

Distant thunder, a few seconds later.

[The PIT]

One I shot earlier as thundery showers tease me

[AderynCoch]

More thunder. Impressive cloud formations to the west and east.

[carl1980]

It's close now some nice forks

[cheese]

Also worth noting that the Met's rainfall projections show very heavy rain/showers tonight, particularly in West Yorkshire. One to watch.

[robt]

One of the cells that passed to the north of Doncaster earlier (about half past 5)

 

[Sunny Android]

I was right under the path here (Great Sankey, Warrington).

The 'sound and light' show has just finished here ..... for the time being !

[AderynCoch]

I was just about to say the cell had moved away when a blinding flash appeared closely followed by a huge bang. That must have been very close!

[jam2010]

Thunder here and is pitch black nearly.

[jam2010]

We have a storm right above us 20 mins now. Crazy rain and fire work like thunder. It's so lovely.

[ChorleyMike]

Going very dark in Chorley again - rained very heavily about 1.5 hours ago but no thunder.
