Very bright flash just now, two distinct areas of lightning. The cell over braintree and the cell over chelmsford which is more frequently discharging,
-
First time I've seen night time lightning in 6 years
Must be about that for me too then!
-
Lol
You must have seen that One - Lit up the Whole Sky!
Yep! Cell further to the south east now seems more potent.
-
Looks like I'm going to take a direct hit, hopefully they stay electrified! Haven't seen much for a while
-
Fantastic light show to the east, albeit not very frequent. Looks to be getting closer too. First night time lightning I've seen in a long time, even if it is a long way away aha!
-
Wow! I can see the lightning over harwich from here 77 miles away! It's lighting up the anvil.
-
Looks like the activity over northern France is intensifying and also over eastern France/Belgium there's some good returns on the radar.
-
Looks to be some altocumulus passing over, nice mackerel pattern in the sky. Don't won't to be too optimistic about tonights prospects, but it looks quite good for those on the south coast!
-
Unexpected thunderstorm passed through quickly at about 2.30 this afternoon. One very close discharge with booming thunder and another more distant discharge.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day, although I doubt it as I'm not stuck in a classroom or at work.
-
Nice shelf could with a lot of scud just to my NW, don't think it's going to come to anything though. Seems to be decaying.
-
Nice big dry area over me today, just like during last weeks action
-
One flash and rumble whilst I was at work, about 6pm. Then when I was at the bus stop another, (what looked to be a CG) to my east.
Doesn't look to be any more activity this evening but tomorrow looks good for a few storms!
-
Small cell just approaching now and beyond that a larger one. Just hoping they don't decay before they reach me.
-
Well that was a letdown, moderate rain from a cell that was producing lightning to my SW. However, just as I type now there's a rumble of thunder, not sure what direction its from though!
-
Cell I was watching has decayed quite a lot, typical!
-
Looking really good to my west and south west. sharp convection and wonderfully dark bases.
-
Lovely convection all around here. Had a couple of light hail showers pass through and there are some more substantial cells to my SW that look to give me a direct hit.
-
Finally out of the no storms club, nice to get out early on too! Compared to the last few years anyway.
Nice cell developed over head by the looks of the radar (was stuck in school at the time though), hail the size of peas, maybe a tad bigger still on the ground outside the school, paths like rivers.
-
Looks like GFS is showing a similar kind of set up this time next week.
-
Shortly going to experience a moderate to light shower and that will be all that has come out of this convective spell of weather for me aha. Already looking forward to the next spell, hopefully I'm a bit more lucky than I have this week. Spanish plume anyone?
-
Another frustrating day for storm here, as was yesterday. Showers popped up all around me and today is the same story. I seem to be in no mans land where I am as storms fired up earlier on in the midlands moving SE, now storms are building west of London.
-
Pretty oppressive in our part of the World this afternoon:
Time for a NW Extra subscription!
Thanks coast, might have to put NW extra subscription on my xmas list!
-
I think things could get very interesting later on but is that cap still supposed to be in place over England today?
-
Looks like I'm missing out by 20 miles or so. I have watched the development from my garden and its looking good, large cumulus/CB's gone up. I'm hoping something will bubble up further south in line with me but i doubt it

Storm that was heading for me has died a death, lightning still to the south east.
Still nice to see all this lightning so early in the season, though!!
