Only just the 15th...but very heavy rain over Fleet as I type. Just had one flash of lightening and thunder.

Just came on to start this thread, glad already done! 15 minutes ago, went outside for a quick
ciggy before bed, rain had stopped, cloud quite messy, then a sudden big flash out of nowhere with blue tint, thunder heard 12 miles away approximately. Nothing since, although in bed so may be missing flashes

[Si Ward]

Quick report - rain turned quite heavy here (Mansfield) about 01:45 - was listening to it in bed after I'd, erm, been to the little boys room!
Lightning cloud to cloud seen while I was looking out the window.
LW radio on and sounds crackly intermittent with occaisional bzzzts of noise.

Short sharp shower for last 15 minutes here in central MK. One C-C just now.

[chrisips]

Late report 0330Z woke to the sound of very heavy rain, just as it finished a bright flash of lightning and thunder.

[PaulKn]

A few sferics north of Milton Keynes, and also around Maidenhead.

[smone]

Rumble of thunder heard here a minute ago in Beaconsfield after 10 minutes of heavyish rain

[Paul Radon]

Several rumbles heard to my SE. No lightning seen as of yet

[Scoggy]

Several cracks to my north right now. Really seems to be kicking off...

[Jamie D.]

Just seen lightening to my SE - between Northampton and MK. Very dark band of cloud moving though the sky with lots of dark cloud forming and flowing up into this band.

[Tony Gilbert]

Reporting via radar a strong sustained storm (possibly supercell) NW of Bedford. This things is picking up on some pretty strong shear ATM. Anyone in view?

[Scoggy]

Had a chance to look at the cell which has moved off to my NE, definite rotation observed.

Worth chasing this if anyone is near south Northampton.

[Innovate]

Couple of heavy showers in the last hour in Wakefield. The second one produced a loud bang of thunder.

[Pete Roberts]

Palacefields, Runcorn 14:00 BST

Heavy shower in progress but the trailing edge is now approaching. No sign of electrical activity and no sferics audible on long wave - although my QTH is electrically noisy.

A sferic near Kerry Head a couple of hours ago.

The centre of the depression is right near SW Ireland now. A slow moving, almost coiling, shower dumped 15.1mm on Valentia in the hour up to Noon.

Thunder in Sheffield.

[Duncan Railton]

...you got there first. 2 rumbles from a cell over east Sheffield.
