Dark, thunder and lightning

Nothing overhead here yet but have seen some brilliant flashes over towards Gibbys patch, I've captured a few on my digital camcorder and hoping I can retrieve a couple of good stills off of it.

Can confirm it is tipping it down in Bath (more specifically at the Uni). Very dark, lots of surface water and looking at the radar lots to come. Intersted to hear its dry in Frome, so Jim, I'm presuming my veg in warminster isn't getting wet yet?!

Very unlikely Turbotubbs, we had a 30 second burst of heavy rain and that's it, over Warminster way the weather looks better I'm afraid.

You know the showers are widespread when even Rochester catches one!

Just had a few flashes and loud bangs overhead and the rain is lashing down, AT LAST  off to work now so will miss anymore excitement if there is any.

Recent rumbles from a thundery shower here.

Have just updated the Storm Watch page;

Big showers and storms today.

rumbles here - rain to northwest and sout east but not here!

good idea. Windows 8 sucks the big one.

Fine, dry and quite sunny here under the FWS with all the cumulus passing by to my north west (over the hills). But it is very windy, though. This is another one of those situations where my location tend to miss the ground-heat induced showery activity under this SW airstream as it all bypasses me.

Tomorrow does look a bit dreary with more in the way of persistent rain under overcast skies and the next chance saloon for thundery activity around here would be this Thursday and (more likely) on Friday as the temporary heatwave kicks in thus making it soupy and muggy for a time. A pity really as I am liking this freshness.

Thunderstorm after thunderstorm here today, we had the lights on earlier and they began to flicker with the lightning! also the rain has been so heavy it's just been running down the lane like a stream as it's situated on a bit of a hill, crazy weather!!
