Some beautiful colours over the North Sea from some congestus, also some cunims to my south. Was explosive earlier, saw a tower go up around 7.00 and the next minute it was an anvil. No thunder heard but had the odd shower around 6pm not far off Sedgefield.

METAR will cover only the Aerodrome Traffic Zone, which is 2.5nms radius - it won't cover 15 miles north of the airfield.

That's it for today folks, what's around will likely linger or dissipate into the evening hours. To be followed along by the front out West now starting to show signs of precip buildup as its approaching the Welsh coast.

Viewed about 7:30pm from Amblecote in Stourbridge looking north. I'm guessing this anvil was in the Peak District. When this photo was taken, we had just returned from there from a day out! Should have stayed up there a couple of hours more! Looked impressive from here though.

A funny old day!...Went to work in Chpping Norton then Moreton-in-Marsh....Travelled down the A46 towards Evesham first off, noticed nice TCu development over the Cotswolds, then picked up the A44 towards Oxford, a couple of Anvils went up towards Woodstock, but convection had died by mid-afternoon as convective energy slid eastwards...Started the journey home around 8pm and noticed a line of towers/anvils stretching up from my SE all the ways up somewhere east & north of Birmingham, yet when I get home (20 mins ago) and checked the radar, there are no echoes for that line, and no sferics on the lightning overlay...most odd!
