As for here, cool and overcast. 

Same here. I think I’ll be quite unlucky not to see at least some distant convection today but as with yesterday, it’s such a shame the cloud seems to wait until peak heating is well over before clearing itself

[Eagle Eye]

Thunder heard from this, its so dark I'm going to head inside.

I now have mr whippy to my west

Oh to be on the kent /sussex coast at present. As well as being 'on the beach' you also have amazing cloudscapes to enjoy. Still loads of clag here although just showing signs of brightening up now. Very humid. Radar shows signs of development further north now as well. Lets hope for an interesting afternoon...

[Frosty hollows]

Heavy rsin showers popping up rapidly in South London after a dull humid morning.

Rumble of thunder in South London with the sun trying to make an appearance

Yes that Line from west of Ipswich down into East London could get interesting for later....

Hey - if there’s no wind where you are does that mean you’re directly under the CZ?

Sun starting to break through here - slightly hazy but some big cumulus around me.

I'm not especially confident, Norwich hasn't been great for storms this year so far. I expect a good show for some of the usual places.

The vital stats aren't looking terrible though

 

I'm up at Blofield, still a lot of low level cloud, can't see any hard convection anywhere!

[Eagle Eye]

Everything builds here, moves on and then thunder, however still many more hours to go, put my phone outside to record any rumbles but it seems to have moved on, oh wait, nice rumble of thunder as soon as I said that lol.

[Frosty hollows]

Proof that you can get t and l despite clag- apart from a brief attempt at the sun trying to make an appearance, we've had a few flashes and deep booming thunder

[tomp456]

Don't think there will be any storms here in West Sussex coastal areas, it's overcast and the sun hasn't turned up 

[Eagle Eye]

Distant rumble of Thunder. 

Edit

Why owl, why? 

Got to listen closely to hear it.

Yeah you are, try travelling further west, closer to the big mr whippy in the sky

[ChannelThunder]

Thunder heard about 45 minutes ago, warm sunshine now coming out behind the showers/storms moving into the Channel.

This evening could be promising around here with the chance of some flickering anvils to observe - last night I could see crawlers all the way from an anvil up near Bath after the sun set!

[Electricmumma]

Hearing first rumbles

[Eagle Eye]

Little curl formed within this. 

[LightningLover]

Nice rumbles from the E, Heard about 6 so far with the last 2 being closer

Well this went badly with two cars in the driveway and one of them not even being noticed lol.
