Poky cell looks to have developed over northern parts of Greater Manchester
I'm sure I've just heard thunder. Not sure if it the one popping up over Manchester or the cell near Oldham.
Looks as though it is tipping it down towards Prestwich on the radar.
Heavy shower with a couple claps of thunder
Some fantastic storms here at the moment constant lightning. heavy rain and hail..
Yes the ones in the Channel Islands look interesting. I'm quietly optimistic to see lightning/hear thunder in the next few hours on the South Dorset coast. The first this summer and indeed for several years if it comes to pass.
When you look at the lightning map what could possibly make them skirt by to the east and west?

Proper thundery trough swinging up in the Channel now. Very active
It is. Back from Weymouth where at 8pm was near dark and Portland looking almost menacing against the dark sky. Back home the last of the sun. The whole lot seems to be expanding so fingers crossed for first thunder storm in what seems years here. I guess that the people in tents (hundreds/thousands perhaps) won't be so appreciative of what's heading off the Channel tonight.
I've just been woken by the dogs, they hate thunder and they're making more fuss and noise than what's going on outside, the occasional loudish rumble but nothing I would normally have stayed up for.
Yes it sort of fizzled out by the time it had ambled across the Channel last night. Still managed to break the electrical storm drought of past few summers in a desultory sort of way.
