Can hear that Sheffield storm rumbling over the peaks towards us 🙂

---

In the middle of a very small but intensive cell here in London. But no thunder or lightning, which is a shame. Just rain.

---

A cell passing to our west heading straight for you brian 👍🏼

---

Hearing thunder now.

---

This is getting ridiculous now.

Another thunderstorm rolling in.

---

Pretty much rinse a and repeat of yesterday. Initial daytime convection didn’t deliver but the stuff pushing up from the SE did!

The rain has been less intense tonight but my god the thunder has been explosive. Long rolling booms as well.

---

That was a mostly decaying feature - a couple of flashes and a few deep rumbles but that has withered away now. Still was a nice way to end this exceptional spell of thundery weather.

---

Just got absolutely soaked. That small cell just hung around over us - for over an hour now - then joined up with a new cell to our SE. I reckon we’ve easily seen 20-30mm in this one shower. Torrential.

Biblical storm in Nottingham 😮 Just punched through a very intense storm driving back up from Leicester services and I'm at Trowell services now which is just west of Notts. Lots of sheet lightning and rumbles of thunder but I've never ever seen rain rates like this. The entrance to the services has been flooded in minutes.

 we just got the Eastern edge of that.  Distant thunder and a bit of rain.  This is the fourth day in a row we’ve had thunder.  What a fantastic spell of weather,  foggy mornings, sunny and very warm afternoons and evening thunder storms!

SJV mentioned the Notts storm. Had reports from all 3 daughters who live in south, central and north Nottingham. Constant thunder for over an hour and pretty serious localised flooding across the whole city

The main effect of the atmospheric circulation at the moment is to complete the desertification of my garden by evaporating the gallons of water I put on each morning and then to dump them in unwantedly large quantities over the Midlands.

Not a drop here

Me and my lad chased a storm to the east of Frome, we got right into it about 4 miles from Frome and boy it rained, so hard I couldn't see to drive so pulled over, for about an hour we had torrential rain, fork lightning, loud thunder and pea sized hail mixed in. Good fun while it lasted so then went home and all was bone dry as per usual. At 6pm our bad luck changed and we had our first thunder storm, not as good as previous but some good cc lightning and loud thunder, lasted about 30minutes but a welcome storm all the same.

I could just about make out the presence of an enormous storm crossing Salisbury plain early this evening - but a lot of cloud streaming in ahead of the frontal activity affecting some parts tonight obscured most of it .

 

All the pleasant weather I've had is hard to complain about... but my surface-based thunderstorm drought is huge, with none witnessed since my time at Reading University six years ago! Whereas I had a ton of pleasant weather in the spring. So... a rare moan post from me!

LOL.  But very true.  David, you are adding to the flooding risk at those points north.

Yes we have been so close here with points just a few miles away getting well over an inch of rain yesterday and the day before, but here we are still on just 10mm since the beginning of May!

Well that's pretty much the end of the thundery spell here, and what an incredible one it's been! I honestly can't remember Manchester having so many storms in the space of just 3 days! And, it's still June as well, so hopefully we will see more spells like this through the rest of the summer.

Got some raw footage here of the rainfall rates, peaking at 1m56s into the video onwards which was insane at the time! Amazing chase , must've punched through about 4 separate storm cells and maybe the same one twice as well! 

---

Not even a solitary rumble in Leeds. The eastern side of the country has been pretty storm-deprived recently.

Impressive 🙂 We had downpours a couple days ago of similar intensity but nothing like the peak part of your video.

Could be some tasty homegrown storms later on - could be slow moving and dare I say action for the SE potentially
