Amber warning issued.
Please bump this and keep it bumped.

Large hail possible. Up to 4cm in diameter. If you are in the area, ensure you move indoors if storms arrive. You might want to protect delicate plants. This size hail, if it develops is enough to put dents into things and possibly to smash greenhouse windows.

If you experience large hail, please can you submit photographs with a ruler next to it.

Flash flooding is also very likely in places.

Crikey!

Thank you OYBBK.

That storm is massive that's moving NW away from London
Netweather radar
Lightning maps

It will continue to develop Gloria.

Got a cracking thunderstorm going on here in SE London, been threatening all day. No hail.

I'm in the area. nothing here but sun and humidity at the moment.

I just had it flash up from the weather app on my phone. Very exciting.

An hour ago we had the rain that is now approaching Northampton. It came on very quickly. 30 minutes of heavy rain and bouts of thunder and then vanished.

Just bumping as requested
Absolutely nothing of interest to report from the North Downs

Rumbles of thunder here and looking very black over bills house but nothing else of note.

Nothing here in north west wish it comes soon.

Raining in SW London and v humid but no thunder so far.

South Shrops/ Welsh/ Herefordshire border. Some rumbling but seems to be the west of us, so it may have passed us over. Wind ( what there was a of it, from ESE and it's largely blue sky coming over from that direction.

no thunder so far

And just as I said that.....

Nothing here in Derbyshire! We do need it though as it’s very close and heavy! We need a good storm to clear the air

Not convinced we'll get anything in Essex. I like a storm though.

Willing the storm to
one to clear the air in NW. The weather app keeps moving the chance of rain further away.

In SE Wales and all sunny here - a couple of rumbles of thunder and it feels 'heavy'

Mid Wales, a slight rumble of thunder but nothing of particular note. Alas! I love a storm usually.

Nowt in my part of West Yorkshire, but VERY hopeful indeed that we'll at least see some rain soon - we're all bursting from the mugginess.

West London very very humid, had lots of distant rumbles from the big storm that passed earlier today. Desperate for some rain, the garden is parched

I'm working in Dudley today so keeping an eye out, though currently sunny here

We had thunder at about 11.30am in our part of Essex, and a small amount of rain.

South London heavy rain, thunder and lightning

We've just had about 2 minutes of heavy rain out out of a sunny sky in Cheshire, enough to wet the dry washing on the line 🙄 stopped again now!

Downpours and flooding mid Beds. Perhaps it's the apocalypse following Nadine's departure .
