I think Lincoln area might be quiet today, but we'll see 

[TJS1998Tom]

15 strikes a minute atm (does seem like the West/Midlands is getting most of it today so far though)

Accordiradar there is a storm just to the north of town, less than 6/7 miles. Have not seen a flash, had a rumble and only had a drop of rain... weird. 

Lightning, thunder and torrential rain in Bomere Heath....

Finally I`m out of the NSC!

[Polar Maritime]

Thunder close to my location heard here just.

[ChezWeather]

Looks fairly active west of here, dark skies approaching

View of the line of cells to the south of me in Wakefield.

But for the sake of a few miles... had a bit more heavy rain but nothing exciting. Looks like thats it for the day now as activity moves off north east.

This produced a few strikes just west of Sheffield about an hour ago. I was on a run round Rother Valley at the time so got a nice view of it skirting by.

Gone dark back home in S20 now with a distant rumble out to the SW a few mins ago. Certainly a bit more oomph to these showers today here!

Flights in Manchester are doing their usual random (but controlled) holding patterns as the cell from Chester passes, dark skies to my west here with the rain looking like it'll pass just to the north of my area. No lightning recorded within it just yet though despite the cells to the south over Congleton and Matlock sparking away.

[ChezWeather]

Moving just north of me in Matlock, looks like towards chesterfield, heard thunder though for the first time in 2017

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy rain and fork lighting all round me here.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Hahahahahahaha

storms N of me, storms S of me, storms E of me but here, it's like the parting of the waves. Marooned in no-mans land.

[TJS1998Tom]

Looks like Chesterfield is getting a few flashes on the radar lol, still no signs of anything coming here though : P

[Cheshire Freeze]

That's it for today in these parts as the instability pushes further E this afternoon.

Time is ticking for a rumble of thunder here in 2017. Surely I won't be waiting until 2018 

[Arnie Pie]

A few cells coming up from the SW ....If they can hold their intensity...May produce

[algernon]

Hi guys. Quick question, why have locations stopped showing?

Strikes every minute or so here too. Nice thunder rolling around

[Eye to the sky]

Sharp crack of distant thunder in Derby from the cell to the SE of here.Threatenng skies as I sit eating a very late lunch!.

[TJS1998Tom]

Feels like clouds behind me could be building up for something, least the Midlands are finally getting their share of storms 

[Aiden2012]

Just had a few stirkes in  Bridlington was a bit gutted that it formed more over sea though 

[Guest]

Storm almost overhead now. Just had a big lightning flash, thunder only a few secs afterwards.

[Allseasons-Si]

Overhead now. Lightning/thunder still every minute or so in terms of frequency. Rain heavy but nothing to write home about.

[TJS1998Tom]

Clouds building up now, rain not far on the radar but might not have anything thundery I dont think
