Large black cloud coming across towards Sleaford from south of Grantham. Regular distant thunder heard, getting a bit louder, but storm looks like its going to skim the west of Sleaford. No rain as yet, wind did pick up but its dropped to almost nothing now. Twitter reporting a storm observed from the Newark area.

Thunderstorm moving from southeast, now east of my locality. Thunder first heard at 1400 UT. Lightning observed (or thunder heard) every two to three minutes or so, still ongoing as I type. All CC flashes. Very little precipitation but heavy to the east. Heading NE to roughly the Macclesfield area.

Thunder heard more frequently last five minutes, once or twice a minute.

Sferics now over most of England except for south of the M4 (bar bristol channel coasts), east Wales , southern scotland and the west coast of Ireland. around 100 strikes every 5 mins atm.

Something brewing over the Cheshire Plain towards Chester. Sky now very dark and looks like it's going to be heading here (Runcorn). Frequent sferics heard on long wave.

Frodsham Hill is in the way otherwise I'd be able to see Wrexham/Chester, but yes, the sky is seriously dark over towards Wrexham.

Edit: Looks like a dark rain shadow is coming from the cloud base.

A few rumbles over the Knighton/Clun area around 3:30PM

[Flash]

Storm passed over this location about 30 minutes ago. Plenty of IC but one particularly nasty CG which touched down literally just across the street. Instantaneous shotgun thunder, windows shook and a loud electrical click from somewhere inside the house. Router tripped out, PC upstairs rebooted itself whilst the one in the study remained on. The TV set in the lounge had an interesting rainbow colour effect to either side of the screen, though it has now auto degaussed itself after being power cycled a couple of times. Seems like we had a lucky escape.

[Bazmundo]

Moderate rain with occasional thunder here.

[fuzion]

thunder and lightning overhead north Bristol by m4/m5 interchange since 18:00

[Cliff]

6:15pm lots of deep rumbling. No rain or visible lightning. Looks like this particular storm is just skirting to our west. Someone is in for a good one

[Jason Smith]

The cell over Bristol seems to be continuing and more following behind. Some great rotation as it passed over Somerset and another just approaching.
