I've only been recording rainfall since the end of November, but another 3mm of rain today and this will be my wettest day on record.
The odd very distant rumble here today - the latest from the Stoke direction. Blitzortung is handy for seeing where those crackles on the radio are coming from, and if it's worth me going outside to listen!
Had a heavy shower not long ago.
Thunderstorms to across parts of the East Midlands.
Growing increasingly dark here from the south.

Heavy rain very close now, and skies dark. Not much in the way of electrical activity in it, but it's growing all the time as it trundles this way. It's lovely and oppressive out there!

Lovely thunder storms here this afternoon for a couple of hours. Started just before 3pm and the rain has just about stopped. The lightning radar showed the main cell a mile or so West of us.
We had the odd downpour in Stoke again but no thunder activity again which seemed to skirt us,.
Weather Warnings out for some, hit and miss though! Just hope it doesn't disturb the football tonight and lose picture signal
