Definate flash bang! woohooo!!

[> mark]

This was the leading edge 10-15mins before it went dark as night!

[Stuart]

just had some heavy showers here but no thunder

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

LOL, as luck would have me, the thunder died out as soon as it hit borough! Very heavy rain and strong winds though. Don't know if there will be any more on the cards, a few more small cells out to the West of me, don't know if they will intensify or die out. We'll see.

The thunder is back, very distant rumbles to the South, it's just drizzling at the moment.

[Nick F]

Rumble of thunder here near Heathrow, seems to be a line of storms (with gaps in between) heading in across west London/Home counties - probably a trough.

[Ben_Cambs]

Several rumbles of thunder here in the past few minutes though it appears quite distant.

[slb97]

Some lovely rumbles here in horndean north of Portsmouth

[cmimrie]

Seems like that line of storms is now coming through from the West as the thunder is a lot louder and I can actually see the occasional lightning flash.

[Staffordshire]

Wait what, someone playback the radar feom 1400-1500, and tell me how exactly i have only had a bit of drizzle from that ugh.

[Ben_Cambs]

Torrential rain and thunder becoming more frequent.

[Hurricane Debby]

Ding ding - round two..And have some serious hail stones going on. Love it !!

[Chloe]

No storms yet in west London

[sabre999uk]

Looking out front of the house it's really black over Horndean with lots of rolling thunder, look out the back of the house toward Hayling Island and it's quite a nice day - blue sky with white fluffy clouds.

[Mapantz]

Missed everything here, as usual.

[Methuselah]

Bugger-all here, as usual...

[suffolkboy_]

Best storm in a few years just gone through here. Best gust front on a UK thunderstorm i've ever seen aswell, from calm and still to leaves being torn off the trees and small branches flying about in a few seconds. A bit of hail mixed in, and almost constant thunder....roll on the next one!

[nanu]

as reported in south east forum etc... Very nasty storm in south london... lightning every 10secs at mo... and bloody close strikes as i type

[UKVoodoo]

Sorry to post 2 blunt questions but

Are all storms today going to be in the south or is there a possibility for the north too?

AND

If anything is forecast for today is there a possibility of storms after dark

Dont fancy trawling through 30 pages of posts for a simple yes or no answer

Just had an awesome heavy hail shower.

Even car alarms going off. Got VERY windy.

No thunder though. Looks like a very small cell.

[Wet'n'Dry]

Another storm just to my south with plenty of thunder, should hit Southend in the next 10 minutes! That's my 3rd today :-))

[Wet'n'Dry]
