Supercells and very large hail. Not so sure on that one, but interesting to see.

Probably not thundery, but it's concerning the amount of rain that may fall in N. England over the weekend. 120mm potentially over the North York Moors.

Signs of initiation over Wales now as well some showers being squeezed out of the cloud in NW England.
Showers getting going over Wales, signs of electrification now as well. Heading north - very fast moving (elevated). May not be much in the way of ppn at the surface.
Brother at work in Luton reporting flash shower in last 20 mins
Popcorn showers here between hot hazy sun. Another hour or two and something bigger might develop.
A high level spotty shower just passed overhead with one rumble of thunder, so something is happening.
It's sticky 32 degrees too.
Thunderstorm has now fired off near the Fylde coast:
That storm north of Rouen looks surface based, and pretty potent. Heading north - be interesting to see how it develops.
Line of potent fast moving storms incoming for Chester/Liverpool.
yup just hit here like the opening few seconds of a concert... big dump of rain, eases off, big rumble of thunder...
Its here.... :D

The thunderstorm now affecting the Liverpool and Birkenhead area looks very active indeed. Can anyone there give a report?

interestingly - dropped to about 24*c, but the wind has now gone from cool in the interior of the storm, to a very warm almost hair drier feel, as the storm sucks in the surrounding hot air
Clearing now, i would say as active as Tuesdays storm that
