Rain and loudish thunder...

Guessing this is where the main storms will develop for the afternoon

What sort of time looks prime. I’ve been under a rock this week. Had a few flashes 15-20 mins ago. 1 decent rumble.

 

 

If we get more later I imagine around 3/4pm at a guess

No way! You mean I missed the fun that close?! Sheeze! ...

It was a nice surprise...really wasn't expecting anything other than rain. Had a good 20 mins or so of flashes, cracks and rumbles. And. More importantly, plenty of rain - so guess who doesn't have to water the garden today?

[Polaris]

Moderate rain and one rumble from this lot passing overhead so far. Pink
hopefully the sun returns once the front clears pass these fart of a storm

Oh. Why?  Whose taking over?

There are a few forecasters on twitter still doing convective forecasts.  I will miss @staplehurst knowledge here, though

would've been interesting to see if there would've been any red warnings issues from the forecasts

Had few decent cracks and some rain...what is noticeable though is how pulse like the prefrontal line storms are..there one minute..gone the next...i would have thought with the continuous frontal forcing  would have kept them going a bit longer..not an expert on this though..

I wish I could keep the faith SB but genuinely can't see how? We're  gonna be left with a load of clag once this squall passes through 

Plenty of time plenty of energy available still 

Thunder now just to my east 

[Somerset girl]

Very heavy rain here in Taunton , two small rumbles ,no lightning .

 

 

[Harry]

Across the south at least, looks as if the sky has had a power cut… shame

[Zak M]

Heard a few rumbles and now the storm seems to have died out. Off to bed for the third time

[TJS1998Tom]

Seems to have gone quiet now, hopefully the rain earlier hasnt reduced any chances for this evening, feeling a bit fresher now as well

Well I'm genuinely not expecting anything but I'll be happy if we do end up with a decent storm  

[Eagle Eye]

Amanda it's back to looking in northern France now. Is there any genuine reason why everything seems to want to miss me most of the time. Rare for me to get a full on storm.

[RebsAbbo]

Still light rain & the occasional rumble…

Absolutely nothing here and it's not heading my way either.

Well at least Kelvin turned up.

GFS does seem to show more happening later on

[Methuselah]

Well, thank you, God! Just as England gets into a winnable position, the bloody heavens open. In Yorkshire!
