A traditional open-cell convection day brought with it several waves of showers, most with glaciated anvils and odd rumbles of thunder. I was able to capture this one in action after getting in from work as it trundled just to the south of Macclesfield. Two cells were observed, the first giving a few distant C-Cs, and the second gave a close discharge but the lightning went unseen. Good discharge rates in both, but were carried swiftly away by the strong westerly flow.
