As awesome as this looks, it also looks bloody terrifying.

 

Can someone explain what's actually happening here? I can see rain behind the lowering but is there rain from that too? Is that where the most severe part of the storm is?

[Greeny]

There is some convection bubbling up now but im still on the fence whether it will do something or not.

Met Office showing heavy showers moving through here at 17:00 onwards!

 

Could it be 4 days in a row with thunder?! 

[NUT]

Argh! A shower with a strike formed just to the west of me. Just missed out and no more

[Bobby]

Some shots from the thunderstorm earlier, gone dark again now

 

 

3 thunderstorms in a row now in summer, good grief.

[Staffordshire]

Think I'm too far east for this stuff today

[Weather-history]

Crash of thunder. My first decent thunderclap of 2014

[joggs]

A heads up for most of Yorkshire in the next couple of hours

Don't think it is over just yet, we still have a line of storms.. on their way.

[andymusic]

thunder heard over towards Caerphilly this time - coming up your way I expect ancientsolar

Yes, I heard one crack, I think it's a little towards our East this time.. heading for Risca ! To be honest,  I probably could hear more, but I have the main Road infront of me.. and Caerphilly council have sent out their strimming men!

[Summer of 95]

Thunderstorm in Shrewsbury 1415-1430: brief but appeared out of nowhere. Rain heavy but only for 5-10 minutes; lightning seen.

[Arnie Pie]

Sfericing cell approaching from SW....Maybe to far West

[ancientsolar]

Here is the latest thunderstorm pic, passing East of the south Wales valleys ~ 5mins ago.

[WillinGlossop]

24c an hour of sunshine here but can see huge anvils to west and southwest and rapidly building clouds tohe south now too....quite a gusty wind....30-40mph

[Bobby]

The storm as its clearing

hope that fence isn't in a field, you might get struck by lightning 

 

 

naff all here, as expected......nice cloudscapes though driving down the M5 from Brum, nice Cb's with glaciated tops over the Malvern Hills and across into Wales. I would've taken some piccies, but apparently the motorway police get the hump when you do that at 90mph (especially when rolling a smoke and pouring a flask of tea whilst steering the van with one's knees......by the way Mr Plod, if you're reading this, my name is John Smith of no fixed address and my vehicle reg is *censored* 

[Carl46Wrexham]

Non electrical downpour just shot through here. Temp dropped to 13.6c

Warm and humid it ain't!
