[Flash bang flash bang etc]

No thunder yet but plenty of disagreement ;-)

[Darren Bown]

The isolated shower over Leigh looks pretty nasty now, could be some sustained downpours there.

[Wilxy]

Apologies for the awful editing but I have highlighted where there is a clear convergence zone just waiting for something to fire along it!

[William Grimsley]

Explosive development to my east now...

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Llanarth kicking off

That is exactly what I was pointing at! Let's see what happens!

I don't agree with that

[matty40s]

Was coming over the pennines and could see the Manchester clouds bubbling away.

Now sat st the sweating Etihad waiting for Coldplay hoping the next batch doesn't drop on us later.

[andymusic]

looks like Newquay West Wales is about to get a pasting now

[Raidan]

I know storms aren't due here until later if they happen but when you can't see any evidence you start to think we'll I don't blame any forecast but with a view in all directions and nothing to suggest thundery weather I got to think Bust but like I've said I've had a good year so far so doesn't bother me wheather anything happens or not just would be nice to end the week off with a storm but can't see anything happening here.

[IanR]

 still no thunder,  showers have developed though , quite heavy,  maybe this is all we get,  looks a bit messy tbh

[Carl46Wrexham]

Can clearly see the development away to the NE of me, of the heavy shower going on Greater Manchester area. Very warm and humid here.

29c in the car just now - amazing temps

[William Grimsley]

Was looking amazing but all flattened out again, give it 30 minutes showers may start to form.

[Windblade]

After the initial cloud layer burnt off it's a beautiful mid 20s day here. Some cumulus building up but not anything significant that I can see.mid

More cumulus bubbling up here to my South, and a brief second of the sun being blocked out!

Open the windows or turn the aircon on...

[Martin Auld]

I got nothing blue skies all the way

[Mesoscale]

Cloud bubbling up over London as well, not so sure it will amount to anything. 

[Supacell]

Drove through that heavy downpour near to Leigh. Lots of big convective raindrops but that's it, not a single spark. My final hope is for these showers to erupt into thunderstorms as they move west towards the coast.

[davehsug]

Some impressive clouds showing on the cricket from Taunton.

[Ben Sainsbury]

We have kick off nr Yeovil! Definitely a loaded gun sorta cell. 5 minutes from nothing to lightning!

 As you can imagine I hope you're right. Lots of energy to tap into.
