[Flash Elvis]

[Neilsouth]

This is crazy, I haven't seen it go this dark in many years! It's like 7pm in the evening!

And at last... the rain has finally stopped and rumble becoming more distant.  Sky slowly brightening.  All eyes to Northern France then.

[Neilsouth]

Lightning has just knocked our sky TV offline :D

I have just seen a short video on FB of my home town with a fair few inches of rainwater by the station, I expect the shopping center is under water too. Last time I saw that was about 10 years ago, and i had a torrent of water to walk over to get to my flat! 

It must of really come down.

[Rain123]

A  bit closer rumble there

[Homerr]

Naff all up in Watford at the moment, I would say convective rain but nothing exciting. Not bothered though, I hope something brews up after sun down so it's a proper light show

 

But I'll take whatever!

[chionomaniac]

Still the odd rumble here but for the first time today I can analyse the clouds as there is now some breakup. There are three layers of cloud. We have very low cloud racing in from the NE, mid level clouds moving in from the south and a white featureless anvil type above. Plenty of shear there!

[Azazel]

according to satellite, cloud does appear to be thinning/breaking down to the south-east which I think will be great for Kent/London and later East-Anglia this PM. However I think anywhere to the West of the IOW has had it, the detritus left over will inhibit anything surface based.

[ChezWeather]

Kent is about to take round 2 by the looks of things 

[Allezwasps.]

stair rods here . but alas no fireworks.

[TheToastPeople]

This is a simply stunning setup, The sky has that incoming mcs look to it you see in warmer countries! Good luck everyone

[Rain123]

Ooh, that was quite close.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Rain is damn relentless!

nothing surface based was never likely in the uk as it would require a very temperature to initate this more like to happen in france and germany the benelux countries which may affect the SE of england East anglia and the East coastal areas as stated by estofex

[Norfolk Sheep]

not me. greyer than a grey thing on a grey day,

Like most of August up here  I had my storm fix in July so not overly bothered but my God I would like to see some sun this month for longer than between 6.30 and 7.30pm....

I will need to go take a walk then.

 

Hi toast!

[sunnijim]

Thunder cracking off in SE London

[Hirudine]

There's been reports on BBC News about flooding in Eastbourne affecting the trains and forcing evacuation of the shopping centre. Can't find a link to it on the website though.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Wow with all the people saying they are only having rain in their area while here where I live its like I'm in a different country with the continuous thunder and lighting appearing everywhere

 

But don't worry, if you miss the storms I have recorded 15mins of the thunderous cell and I'm uploading it to youtube right now

It's good like that innit Even better at night

Really drap up here in Derbyshire. Grey and no feeling of humidity. This afternoon could very well be more of a wash out rather than any sort of activity.

[loopydreamer]

Loud rumbles here

[Neilsouth]

Window shakers, lightning seems very elevated though
