Still waiting for my first storm here this year. Very few left in the NSC now. Storm to my North over Stafford but it will die out before getting here and probably pass East of here. Still, had lots of hail today including snow!

Same here, just one distant rumble heard this year and no lightning seen.
Everything is west and south of me today.

That cell north of Birmingham looks best at the moment. Very active with a lot of lightning and probably a lot of hail going by the radar echoes.
Looking back through the last few radar updates, that cell was 3 separate cores which merged into one big one.

Nice line of heavy showers now from Cheshire down towards Cambridge and beyond.
Typically it was just light drizzle as it passed over Nottingham, before rapidly intensifying within a few miles.
Still only the one strike detected so far as syncmaster said, but I think there will be more around that line before long.

Also some rapidly intensifying showers heading into north west Wales now which could well produce lightning soon.

Stunning photos, really good to see Tour 1 is going so well, especially when things looked very quiet on the models before the tour started.
That structure is amazing! Would love to have tested my new camera on that.

Looking more hopeful on the job front for me, if I get one soon I could be back next year.

What a start! Especially when things looked so quiet about a week ago.
Looking forward to seeing more photos.
I'm jealous of the storms, but like Arron I'm also very jealous of your location. I would love to have chased that far south and got to the gulf of Mexico.
