Default (WR)Heavy Showers - Thunder

After a wet start the rain cleared by 9:30 this morning. However
showers started almost straight away with nice bright sunshine between
the showers. Around 1pm I watched a large CB approach from the
west/Northwest towards me. The shy became very dark and they was
slight rotation evident and a rain belt at its back edge. I was
waiting for it to spark but didn't as it passed over Rotherham giving
about 5 mins of very heavy rain nothing like last Monday's storm. The
sun came out again, and as the CB moved east it gave a single strike
of yellow fork lightning against the black background. CBs in every
direction now.
