Worst storm season ever for me here in Hampshire. Can someone tell me why literally every storm system this year just ends up in the Midlands/North? I thought after all this heat my area would get at least something but once again…  

It’s been no worse here than 2022 and 2021 which also featured absolutely no storms. Three years running now in summer. We seem to do better in May/October for thunder so here’s hoping.

Don't think we'll have storms tonight now. Skies beginning to clear 

[ChezWeather]

Stoke storm seems to be dying off, really popping off near York though!

[Polar Maritime]

That cell is dying off absolutely, hope we get some rain at least lol

I think I'm dreaming....

Lost for words, such a beautiful sunset with a developing cumulonimbus cloud from the storms near York. 

The photos taken from next to Humberside Airport. 

Best part about chasing, you never know what surprises can happen!

I wondered about that, too. About the time it was close to Immingham? I'm still not sure whether it was just backbuilding or whether it briefly had some supercellular characteristics.

It's now resumed the NE direction. It did have a hook briefly early on so it could be an supercell.

looking back at the recording it was rotating too... I will post the timelapse soon

Dropping cooler still..

Good looking ukv run for East Midlands northwards. Idk how strong these storms might be 

[Southern Storm]

There's been some fantastic photos posted of todays storms, massive congratulations to those that managed to get a storm

Tomorrow is looking very interesting for Many areas further north, so hopefully those of you that missed out today will get some proper storms tomorrow. 

The latest UKv is pretty much a variation of the same theme from today's 12z So all to play for 

I'm going to risk it for a biscuit and head towards Weymouth/Charmouth way, any storms that do fire  this evening will be elevated, so I should still be able to capture something even if storms develop slightly further west

Good luck everyone in the coming 24 hours or so  

If they're any locals in here from west Dorset, with knowledge of locations that are reasonably high and have good all round views, please can you let me know, cheers

Hi gang, just noticed possible several cells breaking out over north of breast peninsula, and here on west mendip i  c an see tops of a few threatening clouds way to my south of south west. Im hoping that its just kicked off for us further south and hoping that you further north get a few imports from the west country , just getting stuck in to our sausage baps and oven crinkle chips cheers all .

Just before the rain hit, a few miles east of York. When it arrived, it was squally with very strong gusts.

The cell that was active South of Stoke, it appears the setting sun has killed off the energy in it, leaving gorgeous sunset in it's wake

[minus10]

As @Southern Storm said some fantastic photos, particularly of the storms at sunset...really envious in a nice way...although storms tomorrow are forecast further north im really hoping we can eek out a few surprises further south than today also...(please )

Some frequent lightning towards Market Weighton way rounding off the day nicely
