I managed to find it early AM today, a basic guide is find Arcturus in the east at 3am, look left to the next brightest star, then left and slightly down to the next bright star. I did cheat a bit with Mobile Stellarium. It was mostly clear but quite hazy, came out with a 4 second exposure at 90mm. Haven't had chance to check my pics as yet. @Zak and Southern Storm Did you use Stellarium to find it? Comet of the month: C/2022 E3 (ZTF) – British Astronomical Association BRITASTRO.ORG

Not sure that is lightning, seems to be an electrical fault shorting out. Wet snow sticking to subzero surfaces and adding extra weight, could bring down branches onto power lines.

Early AM today the temperature was -6C and I saw four flashes of lightning in the ESE. This was out to sea between Essex and Holland, about 70 miles from here.

That's definitely climate change

After the rain cleared on Sunday Starlings have begun murmuration

Already had 60mm this month, with 20mm today so far. Perhaps another 10mm inbound today.

Shots from Yesterday's Thunderstorm squall, time constraints,and a lack of planning, flat camera battery,made this a last minute dash. I did get a few shots though.

Quite intense precip around Stevenage recently, can see anvil streaming away north. That squall tracked through here about 13.40 , quite noisy hail barrage on the front edge largest about 20mm. These had melted slightly when I took these pics

Yeah squally thundery showers could be quite widespread, perhaps some more organized storms in the south and southeast.

Some potential for some intense Thunderstorms tmrw being mentioned. Decent CAPE for the time of year, and high speed shear.

Because we love them My cat licks my hand and sometimes face. It also sometimes preens my face/cheek using it's front teeth, a bit painful

From Sunday the 23rd the line of storms arrived just after 6pm.

Apologies the tornado was in Hampshire. Certainly looks like a Supercell to me.

Brilliant structure I'd say that is a Supercell storm Is it ok to share/link your video? Edit Apologies I think Marlow Zoo , ware the tornado occured is in Hampshire.

Good shots

Pembrokeshire is well placed in the next couple of hours.

You have a good memory, it was me! I hope you get some thunder from this late plume. I think you are welcome on ukww, it's usually friendly there. it's good to see you again

I wondered if you had picked it up from Irlam that night, it was cloudy rather in the NW. It was photographed from Norfolk though.

There's lightning on the Sheringham webcam. I've seen a few flashes from home , not very active.

How tall is that monument? I'd guess 30 foot. Obviously it's on an exposed hill (482 ft) so it's likely much more prone to lightning. I wonder how they test the lightning conductor?

There's too many storms fighting for energy in one area, they're too shortlived because of the type of ingredients around today.
