After a scorching day, storms have been lashing the county this evening, and are set to continue well into the night.
Despite the rain they bring, storms can be a fantastic opportunity for some stunning pictures.
Send us your pictures - or videos - of the storms to: news.carlisle@cnmedia.co.uk, or via our News & Star Facebook page.
