Whilst I'm at it, I thought that it would be a good idea to start this thread off since we never know when somewhere might get some thunderstorms which are worth reporting here.
Chance of a line of storms across the south tomorrow afternoon i think.
The radar is showing what looks like an intense and stationary cell over the South Downs near Lewes at the moment. Anyone nearby?
Edit: another smaller one bubbling up a little further east, to the north of Hastings.
Thunder reported from family in Nottingham
Yes, thunder here with hail just after midday!
Grrrrrrrrr! Love a bit of thunder, Caz.
A beefy shower rattled through an hour ago giving our first measurable rain of the month. 1.4mm fell.
The temperature fell from 15.9c to 10.4c in the shower. A little hail was also observed.
Temperatures soon responded as the sun returned, recovering to what looks like to be a daily maximum temperature of 16.9c just before 4pm.

Some very impressive photos on local Facebook groups of the lightning we had.
Talking of great photos this one has just been posted in the TWO image gallery. In all honesty I think it's one of the best UK weather photos I've ever seen. Truly stunning.
