Heavy downpour here with two rumbles of thunder rolled in from nowhere, surprising as just looks like ordinary shower.

Incomming from Shropshire, its plugging the last bits of cape getting better!

[LeeKay]

The clouds look amazing to the west.

Suprised no one is about on here, glaciated anvil now.

[LeeKay]

Nice radar slight hook there?

 

 

[conor123]

Just fizzled into light rain after a few minutes here in the end, storm shield holding firm.

Out with the dog about an hour ago and could see a beautiful anvil to my north. Now having read the previous posts I can see what it was!

Only got a shower off it tho, updrafts must be immence

[PolarWarsaw]

Took a glancing blow here, real heavy stuff skirted a few miles to the south and east. 4-5 rumbles of thunder, one quite loud. Didn't see any lightning though. 

 

Been a decent few days here. Make the most of it as that will most likely be the lot now!

It does feel like the last few years we have seen more 80/90s style storms.

Just need parts of Shropshire and some of the other North-Western areas of the region to see some potent thunderstorms, and then hopefully all of the Midlands' storm admirers will be free from the dusty, murky, dungeons of the No Storms Club. Some have been locked up in that horrible, dark, place, for too long now.

Warm if not hot is great if only it only coincided with fresh cool nights. Now that would be good. Storm chance may well drop a bit so scrub that! Past few days have been good, even after the storms the sun and warmth came back. Not a fortnight of cold wet grey or horrible rubbish which we have seen before? almost as if it was pay back for three hot days and a storm.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Not really been the best year for storms so far, but these last few days have certainly made up for that, though, with some of us seeing the best storm for a fair while (and, with hope, a chance for those who have still missed out to see something really stormy at some point).

Was sunny this morning, but it looks like the white puffy things have gone and taken the sunshine away. Though some rain is expected later. Temperature bang on 17*C at the moment and feels somewhat fresher.

Throwing it down again, but surprise surprise no thunder. Was lovely first thing too.

Part of me can see a July 2009 coming. Hot and cloudy to start, then rained every day when other places got storms. That would be the pits, especially if it was followed by an August 2009 (SE v the rest mania).

[conor123]

Oh how I wish i'd stayed another week in Turkey, real grotty weather since arriving back, heavy showers yesterday and damp/chilly today though now turned muggy and windy.

[Polar Maritime]

Few heavy showers have been passing through here in the last hour or so, just boring old rain though.....Currently 16.9C.

[WillinGlossop]

Showers developing pretty quickly and intensifying rapidly..... Very heavy rain then hail a few flashes of lightening with loud rolling booms and temp drop from 19c to 10c.....

[Shane Wheeldon]

Well you wont be shocked to here there has been no thunder in Shropshire. Did get a bit gusty earlier it blew the windows shut in the office at work and we have come home and the roof has blown off the little ones house in the garden.

[dusk]

Just got in from walking the dog, and it is very breezy indeed. Lots of interesting cloud formations about as well that look threatening, but are producing nowt

[conor123]

Ghastly stuff, come back to Autumn, that howling wind hasn't stopped for months.

[Polar Maritime]

Yes a blustery today here to, Gusting 38mph West.
