I see the East Mids storm magnet is in full working order tonight

Just had a rumble of thunder.  Has to be said, a bit of a non-event here with just 3.4mm so far.

---

The boring thundery rain just started here, most of the action is clipping the South East, unless get lucky with some homegrown ones like the Midlands 

Thunder!

First fork of lightning here, spotted just to the ENE. Constant distant rumbles.

Woopey we have had a total of 2.8mm bringing our monthly total to 4.8mm of rain!!

And the torrential rain has arrived.  The lightning part is still infrequent, though but when they do happen, it's impressive. At least there isn't that horrible gusty wind (that's the bit I don't enjoy).

rumbles of thunder moderate rain very dark

Thundery rain in stevenage now.

Dark and gloomy with rain getting heavier with odd rumbles of thunder from the south.

---

Perhaps I should stop moaning, 14.2mm for the month and fairly heavy rain now, rr/hr 9.6mm

---

The cloud above us is certainly in a state of confusion, roiling and moving in different directions.

But I can see clear skies over the Channel.

Harsh! Don't listen to him Steve! 😉 :-p

Lots of grumbling rumbling here now, with a few sharpies thrown in  every now and then.

---

bit like my partner then Ian at mo she just been sick and taken table

Big thunder, about 2miles away, sent one of the dogs scurrying.

---

Heavy rain now with purple lightning overhead. [thunder]

Had lightning overhead a couple minutes ago and a much closer clap of thunder. Still not much activity despite the very dark skies. RR increasing and temperature falling much more rapidly. 4.4mm 18.9c

Loud rumble of thunder here and mod rain but with giant spots falling.

---

And now dry...

---

One flash of lightning seen. We are right at the western edge of the heavy stuff so rain hasn't been anything to write home about so far.

---

Moderate rain with large drops and intermittent rumbles of thunder here.... Nothing exciting yet, but enough to get the dog ruffled.

Cracking thunderstorm here in Hatfield. Lots of Ic fork lightning and booming thunder. Lightning is pink!!!!

Hehehehe.

Anyway, I think that's it for now as I can see clear skies over the Channel. I have to admit having that "Oh, is that it?" feeling. Yes, I got to see some forked lightning and yes I got some useful heavy rain for the lawn but it was nowhere as impressive as the one I had on Tuesday morning.
  There doesn't seem to be any more where that came from so I guess it's up to me to say "Enjoy" to those who are getting it as the whole thing trundles slowly north-east wards as we go into the rest of the evening.

Has been a terrific thunderstorm in Northants this evening with amazing rainfall - 45mm so far most of that falling in a hour between 7:00 and 8:00.

Crazy rainfall.
