Sky is now trying here lol, but so far it dry ac cas typical, wonder if anything will happen, fingers crossed.

I think there’s a chance. I don’t care if it doesn’t happen anyway, we still have October which is basically summer these days lol

"We'll just go around that cell" they said.

They flew right over my house before heading your way.  At first I thought it was thunder

Okay then...

Can hear incoming thunder now from the Darlington cell.  Nice deep rumbles... not bad for here today,  hit from the west and now possibly from the south.  Can't complain!

[Cakie]

We’ve had over 20mm of rain in an hour 

[Azazel]

Couple more from social media 

 

 

[A.J]

quite a potent storm here, plenty of lightning and loud thunder! 

[seabreeze86]

Can hear constant distant thunder, yet to have a drop of rain here today yet miraculously 

[Azazel]

Looks like some decent sized hail too 

[Boro Snow]

What a beauty this is in Darlington

[Norfolk_N_chance]

Sky is really impressive looking West towards Kings Lynn. I have storms in an arc from Southwest to North.

[BrynnStorm]

Are there any signs of hope for more central areas? I see the odd strike on lightning radars to my south but there’s nothing on the rainfall radar.

Should we start to put a tornado watch in some of the areas because of the formation of a mesocyclone?

[Lincs Observation]

I can’t keep away

 

humidity has massively increased from 68% to 95% (+ 13%)
temp has dropped to 22oC from 26oC (- 4oC)

from last update

[Weather-history]

Met Office reported a gust of 77mph at Holbeach!

Awesome photos guys and thanks for sharing all these posts. The lightning activity would look mad if it was night time

Ah right. Thanks

Over 12,000 strikes recorded today so far.....and we have had a grand total of 0 here, despite being a severe warning area for dangerous lightning, heavy hail, torrential rain. I know we have a storm shield built over us but today takes the biscuit. Pretty much a copy and paste job, enjoy your multiple rounds of storms the areas hogging them.

I'm not bitter in the slightest

Scuse the overflowing guttering, this one made me jump, shotgun thunder!
