Yes never see them mentioned hail sizes and never happened in this country only pea size to ground pepper pellet sizes.  Sadly after this bog standard rain shower did not freshen up and clear skies now dirty overcast.  The one we had on late May thunderstorm was excellent with sun then overnight severe short storm follow by fresh hot sunny cloudless next day. That what I like to see this way. 

Huge rain drops now starting to fall.

Any thunder or lghtning there?  Had some here but better than nothing as we used to see hours of thunder and lightning in the past.  Was lightning flash but never see streak for very long time or even ball lightning that I had in the 90's.

No thunder so far or as yet!!

Had very little here, seems to have pepped up as it moved north.

Hopefully the grass had enough to start greening

Thundering and some lightning non stop, monsoon rain. This area above us doesn’t appear to want to move .

I was just thinking of you after looking at the rain radar. Amazingly, we had just a brief downpour about 45 minutes ago and nothing since, but I can see the very dark clouds and can hear the frequent thunder. 

I feel very jealous😒

Are those moving to the Midlands or not?  My brother in Letchworth reported a lot of thunderstorms, seem to be more stronger than this morning because they got warmer sunnier weather to generate storms, here was not strong at 7.30am as there no sun heating over night.  I had my old computer motherboard fried in 1999 ball lightning storm that hit a house next street so the strong currents travel fried it.

Amazing. I was on the edge of the storm; I could hear the thunder but got no rain here 2.8mm for the day.

It looks like there is storm activity in parts of the Midlands at the moment.
