UnresolvedExternal writes: A video showing a shelf cloud forming, ahead of a thunderstorm, has been captured in Dorset.
The dramatic footage was filmed by Steve Coggins on Portland on Monday evening before a thunderstorm hit the south coast.
BBC South weather presenter Alexis Green said: "They are not an unusual feature in thunderstorms in general but that is a fantastic example from a rather vigorous storm, and you don't often see such photogenic cases in the UK.
