Reading cell is pretty obscured. On radar the Basingstoke one looks smaller but hey perspective

[Thomas Green]

Can quite clearly see what's coming...

This is looking like crap right now.. If i wasn't reading forecasts and charts i'd assume nothing was happening today. 

[TJS1998Tom]

Hoping for some Lincolnshire goodness this evening, had a few decent rumbles earlier from nearby cells

Picking up a bit around here

That Winchester cell just went up to my East! And the thunder wasn't quite loud enough to get here. Thought I head some a couple of times but might have been planes? Goodness knows! Otherwise it's all missed me too! So close but so far

Sometimes I have to be really self disciplined being self employed because the temptations to say " to work, I'm getting in the van and going storm chasing" is almost overwhelming

Size isn't everything! Size does not make it a supercell, although there have been some apparent right turning cells in the Midlands, and the Basingstoke cell could be doing that now too.

Turns out that I was looking at the different cell in Crawley, whoops!

I'm un-calling it.  The blotches east of London look rather interesting though 

[shogan83]

A constant growling, almost ripping sound of thunder, not much lightning seen

Missing it all here it's south of us now north, East when can we even hear thunder?

Rotation, rotation...

 

Ooh that looks interesting.

[Sparkiee storm]

Cells popping off in the West Midlands again . We had 40c last summer with no thundery breakdown. Today we have this. Just shows what can happen if we have the right ingredients whether its hot or not.

Apparently there's been a sighting of a funnel cloud near Newark

[shogan83]

Constantly rumbling away

Makes sense, given what I saw earlier, that storm with the nub thingy coming off the bottom was headed that way

[Lincs Observation]

Sleaford has had heavy rain light and noise CC & CG, hail and torrential rain, for last 35mins.

I think it's over for me here in Notts, unless we get surprised by a late bloomer, I was just a little too far west to get a direct hit. Heard some loud thunder and saw some cool cloud formations though.

That CG is impressive. Nice captures.

Heavy rain but not much with thunder now, real time lightning map looks quieter than earlier this afternoon

[Derbyshire_snow]

Having a laugh now everything is going 10-15 miles to the east yet again. 

I don't know what it is with Sheffield but the storms seems to go north east south and West of here it drives me up the wall. 

[Mapantz]

Pretty disappointing down here. It has turned chilly as well now.

[JR319]

Cold and wet now here in Leicester. It’s more like drizzle now. Is that is for the East Midlands today then?
