Some rumbling happening to the North of Wigan at the moment. Looking a bit threatening.

Looks like Snowdonia has been absolutely hammered this afternoon. Unreal number of lightning strikes.

Bubbling up SE of Blackpool

Wind has picked up here east essex but no clouds.

Down on the South Coast. Everyday the met office says thunder then everyday it gets cancelled. It's like they have no idea what's going at the moment.

[Scabutz]

Briefly pissed it down in MK. Those massive rain drops that get you soaked in seconds. Few rumbles of thunder in the distance. Nothing too exciting as yet.

Temp has dropped 9c in about 30 mins! Bloody perfect!

Aylesbury has been absolutely hammered with rain and hail the past 25 minutes, and the majority of that looked like driving would have been tricky to see much.

Some almighty thunder too

Reasonable show. Those hailstones weren't much fun. Hopefully no car damage.

Yes - off in the direction of Preston but probably further away

Had an hour of full on thunderstorms in Hemel Hempstead, just been out and some of the roads are now under at least a foot and a half of water.

It’s going around me. It’s fecking going around me!!!

[Merry]

Think it's this one you're seeing..

[Downward]

Gone cloudy and the winds picked up in Birmingham massively.
A few strikes in Wolverhampton but it’s very localised as last night was..

Last night 10 miles up the road flooding, trees down, roads impassable. One lady stopped her car, for 20 mins, couldn't see a thing. Nothing here nada nilch, not a sausage.

Just now skies are bright (Stratford upon avon) but thunder and few fat spots of rain

Thermometer showing 36c.

st or get off the pot comes to mind.

This is what's trying to cross the Channel - quite an amazing shelf cloud:

That would be arising from this, which was pretty much nothing three hours ago;

Started to rain in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire.
Ill be glad when the humidity calms down, I've spent most of the day in the car driving around just to stay cool. The house is awful regardless of what I do.
