 Thunders holey moley wow right on your head wow

 

[Thunders]

Lightning still going too

[LetItSnow!]

Stepped away for a bit and I see reinvigoration after it went a bit quiet on the northern edge. Your pictures are great guys. Will be sure to take some if anything local pops up 

[DJ Fart]

Brightest flash of lightning, and loudest thunder, so far here, but not showing on the lightning map for some reason. 

[TropicThunder]

Seen a couple of flashes off to the south east already. Still eerily quiet out there atm.

[matt111]

Trees right in the way to see much to the SE here but did see a flash not long ago 

[Sam jackson88]

 TropicThunder i know but it will be explosive when it hits us here

 

[Eagle Eye]

The updraft to this is incredible by the way, look at it. Just sat in bed watching now. Barely anything showing up on camera because the flashes are so quick.

Seeing this radar makes me excited for Summer, this is really shaping up to be a good storm season. Fairly sure the UK struggled to get one storm across the channel last year if I'm right in saying that?

[matt111]

Not sure where that came from as nothing appeared on the map and my own detector didn't go off but just heard what I'm sure was thunder. 

[TropicThunder]

 Sam jackson88 Just hoping it doesn't turn into a big wet mess before it gets here.

Pretty sure I can hear very distant rumbling thunder now.

[matt111]

 TropicThunder You probably can as even I'm hearing it 

[Sam jackson88]

 TropicThunder i know but it will still be brilliant 

 

[Eagle Eye]

I'm in the storm shaped hole in the SE lol. Nothing overhead unfortunately. 

[DJ Fart]

Looks like those on the south coast could be in for a treat if the activity keeps up at its current rate. 

[Sam jackson88]

rumble and big flash here, its here

 

[Jimmyh]

Well I didn't expect this lightning and distant thunder as the old comment goes about 14 - 15 miles away lightning is getting quite frequent near the bridge and louder really wasn't expecting this tonight 

[TropicThunder]

 Sam jackson88 Yep more frequent flashes and louder rumbles now!

[biddie]

It's becoming more organised now long squall line moving swiftly north and west loads behind it. More like middle of summer storms . Will be severe in places

 Mapantz it was like that here and now it has dried up and rumbles are getting louder, should have a really nice storm heading your way in a hour or 2
