Looks like the warnings to far east especially for East Anglia. This tends to happen so I'm unsure why they always include coastal areas the convergence is always more inland.

Exactly happens time after time

[ChannelThunder]

Storms passing just to the north, or developing just to the south.

 

I give up, not going to happen today. That mass of rain won't even give everything a much needed water as its western edge is just petering out.

All of a sudden when it was forecast for overnight

[Hedge End weather watcher]

We live in Hedge End and the rain has gone either side of us, last 24 hours less than 1mm of rain. 
 I just hope we get some of the rain that is to the east of Portsmouth - literally desperate for rain!!

Sudden eruption near Canterbury has given me renewed hope. Anything can happen!

What an absolutely waste of time - two completely failed days.

Here in sunny Reigate, our specially developed "Reigate Storm Shield"   is in full action, keeping the storms away to day. 

The little blighters made an attack on the town from the east. However, the RSS forced the storms to veer south into nearby Crawley. Well, they are a rum bunch there, after all.

Of course, should the Reigate Storm Shield  fail, I'll file storm reports as normal.

I can finally hear thunder!

6 thunder days this year. Not too shabby.

[Somerset girl]

At Exmouth Beach and it's just starting raining ! Lol .

Very humid but I think it will be just heavy rain . .

Unbelievable, the sferics died out going into Bouremouth, only to reignite over the Purbecks.

Had some seriously impressive skies, saw a couple of lots of distant lightning, one very visible CG Norman’s Bay Area maybe further west. Heard quite a bit of thunder from it and got absolutely soaked.

From the Merstham side of Reigate, we’ve had a steady fall of rain with the odd rumble of thunder and the 1 flash of lighting. It’s been very disappointing so far. 

[Atmogenic]

torrential rain here just now, i'm right next to that big white blob next to ashford. Hoping to get a sudden flash out of nowhere to finally be able to record something

As usual....absolutely sod all up here. No rain, no thunder. Just muggy and cloudy

Literally have no idea when we can expect a storm next, the last 35 storms warnings we have had over the last 2 years have brought no storms.

*sigh*

[thunderhead 2005]

dans forecast was pretty much spot on, most of it to the SE and coasts. 

Don't think i've seen a proper storm in years, unless i chase it. 

[Atmogenic]

just heard thunder!!!!

You were not under a storm warning today, so therefore a correct forecast?

A friend of mine just took this...can anyone tell me what the weird collapsed funnel looking bit is?

Is it just a heavy rainy section?

Torrential rain after the wall cloud passed over. Lovely jubbly!

could be a scud

[kold weather]

Full on thunderstorm in Bordon at the moment, streets starting to flood quite badly from the looks of things as well where the water is just running off. We maybe getting into flash flooding territory here now.

 I noticed that the photo you took was not from your normal city centre dwelling?
