Just down the road from you in Plymouth, we have had around 14mm of rain. Like you, I am disappointed that we missed out again. -

Correct. This is one drawback of using a system that tries to determine strike distance from signal strength. Distance usually becomes accurate over time, but with this type of activity can be quite difficult as the cells tend to be short lived. Similar effect can be seen from other detectors such as http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/StormVueNG.htm -

Rain is approaching the SW, not too heavy, but there are some brighter echoes developing. No sferic activity yet. -

Very distant rumbles of thunder hear in Plymouth.... But the sferic activity has died down for a bit. Hopefully he is just resting lol -

There has been quite a lot of lightning activity already off the SW coast. Its making slow progress N / NE. Had some lively bursts on the detector. Plymouth is currently 16.5 Degrees and 98% humidity. Had a hefty shower around 8am. -

Here in Plymouth, Devon, the temperature has risen in the last hour. Now currently 21.2degrees and 68% humidity (dew point 15 degrees). Its feeling really muggy now............ -
Quite a lot of sferics in the channel. Looks like the time i spent calibrating my detector has paid off - im plotting fairly close to what metoffice are reporting. Clouds have started bubbling up here. Temp is only 21degrees 61%humidity.

Currently its 18 degrees and 60% humidity. My boltek has nicely picked up on the activity in the channel and north west france. Hope it comes this way.....

Thanks for the update as usual Coast. Looking at nexstorm, there is a lot of sferics out there, all just a bit too far out. Fingers crossed for later. Had some beefy showers yesterday pm with hail but no thunder.

Afternoon all. Had 20mm + of rain so far today. Main rain band has now cleared and now turned showery. There have been some strikes out over the channel but nothing close yet. Showers are getting beefy so let's hope lol.

Heavier rain now starting to arrive in Devon. Total rain so far only 3.8mm, but looking at the radar - its starting to intensify. Lightning detector also starting to pick up sferics from France.....Hope tonight will bring some coastal storms

Well what a day! Had some beefy rain this morning, 18.2mm in total today so far. Seen some sferics on just off the north cornwall coast - these have died down now, but seems to be a lot going on across the water - as always!. 790 strikes recorded today - not as high as i was expecting.... -
