Today was a typical day of heavy showers and isolated thundery showers from
the west. A couple of inactive cells rolled over the Macclesfield area
earlier in the day before T0028. It had an irregular anvil and was
developing as it moved in.

The base was fairly dry as it made its approach as heavy downdraughts were
not yet established. Bizarrely the storm appeared to be hovering as much of
it wasn't connected to the ground with rain curtains despite the development
of the Cumulonimbus structure.

It
gave a few high-amp C-Cs in it's lifespan before dissipating as it passed
over, giving one last loud C-C. It had a very dark base, emphasized by the
contrast between the daylight running underneath it. Most of the heavier
storm cells were to the south of the country in the afternoon.
