Seeing the occasional lightning flash to the SW here at Bicester now, hoping those cells now moving into East London use all the CAPE available to keep sustained until at least 4am.

[Zak M]

Seriously impressive radar returns from that storm near East Sussex!

[LeeRoyxD]

the lightning is frequent in the channel

[Mcconnor8]

 Zak M headed right my way! Wonder how quickly it will lose strength now it is moving into the less unstable air

[LetItSnow!]

 Zak M Was just about to post that. While the lightning is understandably the most interesting factor to most, the rainfall rates are off the scale. If any places see prolonged rainfall of this type on already saturated ground we could be looking at some very bad flash flooding. Some places could be extremely sodden tonight!

Here's what it's like on the coast. It's still dry.
