Boring convective rain ,nothing to see here 

[pip22]

Just basically heavy showers here last couple of hours now.

[Scuba steve]

Both Birmingham and Manchester under storms must be the heat island effect

Finally joining the party...Flash of lightning and instant rumble of thunder (another one).  Heavens have opened.

[Snowmad79]

Weve just started getting the thunderous booms. Nice

[severe snowstorm]

Deep rumble of thunder.

[PennineMark]

Bit lively with the lightning 🌩 to our south just now. Torrential rain and frequent thunder. Lightning seems to be fairly elevated.

Atmosphere is still ripe for storms, another deep rumble.

Just driven though a torrential storm. Ethiad through to Mosside. Shotgun thunder and flooding everywhere. 

Visiting a friend.

Just seen the Emirates plane go over, low, late and it’s landing gear down already

humidity 80% not raining all gone just west of here…

Wow probably the loudest crack of thunder I've been under must have been directly overhead.  Instant flash and rumble.  Belting it down too.  Thankfully short lived and sporadic...anything of duration at this intensity would cause severe flooding.

Had it doing a tour of the High Peak for a few laps around the Goyt holding point, Ryanair passengers besides EK were also getting a nice view.

[PennineMark]

A little bit damp just now. 10mm of rain in 15 mins or so.

[Had Worse]

I see you've ventured to the dark side. Must be frustrating not getting interesting weather.  That's normally our script. 

[cheshire snow]

Another storm incoming flashes to my south and rumbles of thunder.

Seem to have done really well for storms so far this season.

Seeing lightning now, two bright white bolts across the sky, superb.  Heavy showers on and off.
