Just heard a deep growl of thunder - looking very dark to the south again - and there's more  thunder...

[Bishop Brennan]

Wow, some HUGE thunderclaps right now. One literally shook the house!

Recent big rumble here, with a flash of lightning. Looks like Blizzards stuck to his promise of bringing thunderstorms to us today. Let's hope all the storm fans in the region get one.

Grey all around now, but no rain yet and no thunder. Impossible to see if there's any Cbs about

[Sweatyman]

What a beauty! Great storm just finished

[Bishop Brennan]

Dark, thundery clouds to the north.

Beautiful clear skies to the south.

And marble-sized hail falling from directly above!

I'm trying to work out if anything more is on it's way here - difficult to tell from the radar. Plenty bubbling up to our SW, but that's sliding away.

nice thunder going on as usual i'm recording it.

[Dale Hay]

Current view (looking East)

Hearing the odd (really) distant rumble, but might be something else besides thunder. Meh. :/

Before someone says, oi out of my regional  , I'd just like to state to Dale, the Beeb have suggested there are storms in the vicinity of Coventry and Birmingham so Atherstone might see a storm after all.

 

EDIT: in fact, there is a monster cell to your SW with some vicious echoes which is presumably the one you have caught on camera

[Summer of 95]

10 minutes of spitting rain, not even getting the ground wet, now the sun is out. Another massive T-storm fail for here, while yet again Birmingham gets all the fun

You're back on my Christmas card list. Hehe.

Hereford and Brum/Mids currently sweet spots. Cannock Lichfield next probably Stafford later.

In other words, the whole of the bloody West Midlands except for Shropshire!
