Thundery Thursday

[BlackeyedSusan]

Any storms near you?

Gloria's link

A thundery shower has just started here (Leicester). Nearest lightning/storm is at Kettering atm, approx 26 miles away.

Yep - just started in Cheltenham too, rolling, rumbling thunder with lots of wet stuff....

oh my goodness. it has really kicked off in the midlands.

Nope not here in north wales realy humid though. We had a realy good thunder storm tuesday though.

I hope we have another one love a good storm :)

One clap of thunder and some rain :(

Just heard a few rumbles here.

Just starting in Luton, Beds.

Hping it stops before I need to go out to get DC from school.

There is a nice line of storms through eastern england especially, however I think they are quite limited in development, too much general cloud around. Perhaps more interesting later.

Not a cloud in the sky and bright sunshine down here on the Romney Marshes. Mind you, we're recovering from a few hours of torrential rain last night.

A little bit blowy, but this greenhouse is positively tropical [pretends to pinch out tomato plants rather than lounge on broken garden chair with ipad]

Thunder and torrential rain in London.

Nothing here in south Derbyshire.

ohyoubadbadkitten do you think wales will get any thunder ?

I'm in north-west Kent so not THAT far from springlamb. We have lead grey skies and some distant rumbly thunder.

Just had a massive one in south London. I was trying to re-arrange my car insurance and had to keep asking the poor bloke to repeat stuff

Some misstired.

Btw, there have been two reports of potential funnel clouds so keep your eyes peeled if you get any storms and try to get photos! Signs to look for are a lowering (like a tornado is trying to form, as thjats what it is!) but it must be rotating.

What Gerund?
I cannot see anything but a beautiful blue sky, that really lovely blue, sorry folks.
Mind you, DS is at boarding school in Westerham and sometimes we have opposing weather.
I will go upstairs and look out of the roof windows towards the north west.

Yay!!! sun is coming out, more energy to get the storms going!

It looks like 'something' is coming in over the Channel southerners. It's those kind of tall clouds. OYBBK will know the proper name.

Starting to look a bit brighter here now, springlamb, think it's blowing away northish.

Massive thunder and lightening in central London, blue sky again now though.

cumulonimbus?

Things are starting to look pretty potent on the radar (come westwards storms, come westwards)

Kent people - keep an eye on the storms, radar is looking pretty interesting in your area. Potential for hail and perhaps funnel clouds I think.

I thank you OYBBK just in time for the school bus run...
Blue skies disappearing now, think I will herd the ducks in and close up the greenhouse
