Yes 93.6mm 24 hour total at Winterbourne which I believe is the Birmingham university site at Edgbaston.

Looks like Brighton might win the prize for the first homegrown of the day, rapidly developing cell showing rainfall on radar as well, although no sferics just yet.

EDIT: sferics now showing.

yes been watching that lot grow to the east from my garden. Also some growing much closer to home now.. as the crow flies I'm only 50 miles or so west of Brighton

Clouds once again also forming to my south.

Anyway towers shooting up rather close and very rapidly at the moment... I expect rain within next 2 hours at most.

The storm has hit Bognor Regis.

A fair amount of thunder and lightning and 20 to 30 minutes of torrential rain leaving lakes of water. Eased now but possibly more to come.

This thundery spell is of course very hit and miss. In our location a few miles inland from the sea near Weymouth lightning/thunder has been very noticeable by its absence. Even the rain has been localised and more or less missed us completely. At least that is what it seems when you look at the garden which is quite dry. Maybe todays offerings tantalisingly close according to the rain radar will affect us or perhaps the ones forecast for tomorrow?

In Southampton yesterday afternoon, hot, sunny, nice riverside pub garden - got back home in Chichester, could see a cunimb in front of us but otherwise would never have guessed that there was a local storm

Just reached the 20 mm mark in the form of occasional thundery downpours, and just heard the first real growler of the day. Most roads in the town are now flowing rivers, although the roadside drainage system really need a decent overhaul as half of them are blocked anyway.

A couple of close strikes and booming thunder in central London in the last few mins.

Storm was gradually getting stronger here in Belvedere if that's the right word, over the last couple of hours, thunder getting louder, darker and rain heavy for a while in the last half an hour, now seems to be easing.

Loads of flooding now being reported from Mid Kent, luckily here, we are to the west of the line of storms and just have the occasional burst of large drop rain and the distant boom of thunder.

M2 now closed, shops flooded in Strood and roads also. Parts of Gravesend also now flooded.

Storm got worse again, now eased a little, just off to look at flooding down the road, not as bad as out in Kent hopefully.

Thunderstorm here 

frequent flashes of lightning 

Well, we have been having a cracking time of it.  I've never known so many thundery days so close together before.  Just been over to Maidstone and got caught driving in some of the chain of storms working their way across mid/north Kent.  Not so much lightning and thunder, but plenty of rain, with the roadside drains spewing out water instead of draining it away, and dips in the road with floodwater all the way across a dual carriageway.  What with the windows of the car steaming up, water drops obscuring visibility in the mirrors, and one or two people driving like morons through deep water at full speed, throwing up six-foot high sprays on either side, it wasn't much fun driving, especially as I didn't know the road very well.
