They are currently tracking NE so may reach Warwickshire.

[Costa Del Fal]

Think I may have just had a rumble of thunder, to my surprise.

[Stormraider]

I heard it too Costa. Think that's all we can expect today, just the odd rumble.

[kev238]

25mm in Nottingham city centre since 9am. Reports of flooding in city according to bbc website

Looking at the radar could get towards 40mm I think depending on the convective elements in the system

[Bobby]

Thunder and lightning here earlier this morning and lots of torrential rain, 33mm of it.

That really was a big rumble if you guys up in Telford are getting it. But yes really still dont expect any more today. Once winds turn westerly thats usually game over for anywhere W of Birmingham.

[picog]

Sun just coming out here, albeit temporary judging by the radar returns.

[Stormraider]

Clouds seem to be coming from a more westerly course now. Brightening up a little too.

[Gord]

Flash and quite a large rumble of thunder here about half an hour ago.

[Mapantz]

Another day of 20+ currently 21.3°C and sunny. I know it is never straightforward when it comes to this setup but I'm certainly surprised at how the majority of Dorset missed it all, a day not to have been written off after all.

[Costa Del Fal]

Blue sky here now. Sadly I think the best chances are dissipating now. Still wouldnt rule out a storm throughout the day but probably pulse like nature. Oxford area the sweetspot again.

[Costa Del Fal]

On Sat24 the cloud tops over Wales seem to have lowered and dont look so interesting so fairly dynamic rainfall expected only imo.

[Terminal Moraine]

Dry here at the moment and there have even been a few brief glimpses of sunshine. I can't quite make up my mind whether the heavy rain to the south west is moving this way or whether it's moving east faster than it's moving north. The next half hour will decide it.

[Costa Del Fal]

Here we go, everything developing in the East only now! Normal service resumes!

I am chuffed as my 3 rumbles this morning means its thunder heard 8/8 months of 2014 so far!

Expect the showers over Ireland to perhaps turn thundery here later this afternoon.

Sunny skies now, and barely a breath of wind.

 

31.50 mm so far today, the most since 24/09/2012.

Yep as I alluded to earlier all action reserved for the east. Game over for the west bar a sporadic rumble or two should a shower develop.

[Costa Del Fal]

Perhaps the only saving grace for us in the west is that those storms in the East are not hanging about so no one is getting them for too long so not having too much fun!

[Bishop Brennan]

Remember what I said about no wind here? Well, scrub that! It's really picked up in the last fifteen minutes or so. Still sunny, but with some dark skies to the SW presently.
