Re: Thunderstorm Discussion 16th - 23rd Aug 2008
It has been completly dry here all day so far.
All action has been just a few miles north of here looking at past met-office rainfall radar pictures.
Clouds are starting to bubble up a lot here now, so hoping for something soon..

Re: Thunderstorm Discussion 16th - 23rd Aug 2008
It looks like there could be a line of showers beginning to develop right overhead now.
There is a cloud above which is growing in size, getting darker and spreading outwards

Yeah it has.
All that cloud did overhead was a few large spots of rain before it moved away and broke up.

Re: Thunderstorm Discussion 16th - 23rd Aug 2008
I'm unsure but i thought i saw a flash of sheet lightning towards Loughborough way around 5pm on Tuesday.
Otherwise storm-free on my vacation around the Midlands, an awful lot of heavy showers on Tuesday, a few yesterday and two torrential showers in south Brum around 2pm and on the M40 close to Banbury around 3pm this afternoon.
