Getting very dark around here, something has developed fairly quickly. But, as of yet, no rain.

Oh right well hello neighbor haha! Sky looking very convective this afternoon, i do hope a storm makes it into the bedford bowl! sun is shining and the ground is drying out rapidly! I have high hopes for something in the next hour or two, hope you get your storm fix after you finish the school run!

[saint]

Other half who has been sat in the garden just reported distant thunder!

[Methuselah]

Things have turned much more convection during the last two hours.

My little one wanted to go the longer way home, so perfect to see the shower you got, be it looking a tad stormy!  Would of taken a pic but my phone really isn't very good at cloud pics. But here's hoping.

 

Edit - just looked at radar and that shower has intensified. Cell heading MK way and that one with little ole me in the middle with nothing but sun

Storm appears to be building to the south of MK over the chilterns, can see the dark base and very tall cloud tops. A Couple of smaller cells popping up to the north of here although fairly weak at the minute, with lots of smaller towering cumulus filling the sky. Hardly any wind and it's suddenly feeling extremely humid outside.

 

Looking at the storms they appear to be very localised and of the pulse variety, quickly building producing lightning and then decaying fairly rapidly.

[Dami]

Stormy looking shower I watched on the return home is now indeed producing lightning now.

 Looking at development and the direction we need to be watching to the NW / SE of Coventry. Any storms that do fire up should move right across our areas in an hour or so. 

[Heisenberg]

looks like something popping up at home, but its all north of me. I think i might be too far south....are these due to drift down towards my neck of the woods does anyone know?

[Yarmy]

Very heavy rain and decent thunder here. Popped up out of nowhere.

[Tim Bland]

Storm just to the North of Stevenage at the moment. At least 2 rumbles heard

[Raidan]

Gone very dark to my east and is slowly moving over me, no rain or any T&L feeling really muggy with a light breeze.
