Here's some homework for the morning, @Thunders 

Understanding Metering and Metering Modes

Basically evaluative is what your camera or phone will default to.

 Summer tyre great, I nee that rain don’t we

 OddSpot Cheers for the webcam I've been looking for a good one!

[Thunders]

There’s flashes to my east, south and west now 

[Storm mad]

Can see distant frequent lightning so my east

[Julian 777]

 Thunders Yeah can see them too

[Thunders]

 Julian 777 just got hit by a surprising gust of like 20mph winds out of nowhere 

[Julian 777]

 Thunders Yeah its getting close now 

[Josh Rubio]

Can someone blow these storms NNW please. Way too much of a westerly direction for my liking  

[alexisj9]

yay think something is heading for me now, can see flashes and hear them, not on lightning maps yet, that thing on radar probably

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Right nothing imminently happening so I'm off to bed too! Sleep well all - lots of love x

[Storm mad]

Can't believe I'm watching such an active cell coming in from almost a straight easterly direction.

[Mcconnor8]

New cells popping up off the coast at Southend headed West to London

[Metwatch]

 Josh Rubio When i see the lightning map look like this might think it's realistic that they'll reach us here but they probably will die off as quick as they formed once they get within 50 miles of here. We'll see though...

[LetItSnow!]

Biblical rainfall around Canterbury on the radar. Must be a right walloping under that.

[Summer tyre]

@LetItSnow!That appeared from nowhere, gathered over the coast and was torrential all within 30 minutes!

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

Blown up near me

this has been such a fascinating storm(s) from watching it in France and to the situation we are in now

Approaching lightning out to sea now very frequent; around 1 stroke a second. This is tropical storm intensity.

[Metwatch]

is it just me or does this look like a reverse question mark? This is in the last 15 minutes alone.

[LetItSnow!]

They're growing bigger and more intense and moving in my direction.

[alexisj9]

vid not very good, but defo something to my east, couldn't hear the thanet stuff

lol, the flash at the end of this vid was actually the last one, we just had rain when it came over, so annoying. but at least I got some flashes and rumbles from this event.

[tomdewey]

South England is a yellow warning for thunderstorm but no sing thunder or lighting and just rain at the i am very disappointed 

[Frosty hollows]

Reposting this because it's great!

[Eagle Eye]

Now this is fun.
