Here’s a shot of the cell that grew really quickly and died off as quickly, this is the view from my house on the exe estuary, the hilltop in the distance is Woodbury common with sidmouth beyond it on the other side.

Met Office website. Unfortunately looks like it's dying off as quickly as it formed.

There has been a couple of rumbles near me.......crazy how these showers have developed from no where!

[TJS1998Tom]

Can see what looks like some instability in the clouds here

[ModestMention]

Raining here now. I was expecting the rain to be warm, but it was quite cold.

[Willsy]

must be a bit of diurnal cooling going on this eve.

Radar loop. Exports for a change

I Wonder if the French weather watchers will say the storms will die off in the channel!!

[ChannelThunder]

Really quite heavy rain here for the last five minutes! Extremely unexpected today. If only it'd last a bit longer.

High based CB going up NW of Cirencester here - its moving SE - looks like its hit the tropopause - didn't expect this! 

[Saint coolio]

I kid you not, there’s a strong smell of seaweed here in the test valley ahead of a heavy looking shower…. What can that possibly be?

[Guest]

Thunder reported back at home, heavy rain and hail near Bournemouth airport.

Another storm has developed quickly around Shepton Mallet. Some great lightning seen to my West.

Decent cell over the Wells area. Unexpected shower here. ....had to rush out and put all the garden cushions away!

[Harry's House]

Flash of lightning and clap of thunder to south, light rain.

 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Echoes starting to break out slightly further N now?

[stainesbloke]

Had a flash of lightning and thunder here just south of Heathrow, a few minutes of torrential rain too! Fingers crossed for some cracking storms this week.
