Thanks! this is pretty cool. This shows 5 CG strikes within a few hundred metres of me last night in the space of 3 mins around 9:56, thought that was a scarey and loud episode. Is it accurate, do we think? Also, 4 of them show as positive and only one negative - how can they tell? Also interested if the power they say they have can be measured - the worryingly close 13 KA "strong slammer" does sound kind of dramatic.

squall line really developed all the way up from the south coast towards midlands in last 20 mins or so - blitzortung shows well (not sure why netweather not showing the strikes)

Pretty epic storm here in Witney now - a lot of CGs

The 37.1 at Heathrow ties today as the 4th hottest day now with the 1990 Cheltenham 37.1

Tstorm now in Witney, west of oxford. Several flashes in last few minutes

Flooding bad in oxford, Botley road is closed. Happy to say easied off here. Seems to me to just the same as when the midlands took the brunt of some storms, then kent did, its just today its oxfordshire.

Still torrential here, the water is rather too close to the front door for comfort and the cats are going metal!

two storms this evening, this second one is really quite active. The front garden is a pond and the road a river of brown water

Witney a bit earlier I thought we had had our lot, but getting really quite heavy again. massive bumble bee flakes.

Thats just extraordinary. Looks like its rolling along that coast line. Forecasting where will get hit worst looks pretty impossible

A nice round 5.0 for me please

Really underestimated the impact of the wind here, real damage being caused - daughter's school is closed as sections of roof have blown off, not happened before.

Great day out to patterdale with the kids in the snow - several inches higher up, and we managed to have a few minutes at least where they did enjoy the sledging as much as the other half! surprised with this new snow - 5 cm now at the house and still snowing (for a few minutes yet), -0.2. evening snow man time now!

6.5 please if I can join now for 2016, thanks

odd day today, max 15 deg this morning at 10am and a strong steady SE wind. Warmest day this late in the month I can remember. While we would have had a foehn wind going with a SEly here at the foot of the mountains, I'm can't quite understand why we where so very much warmer than others, normally my readings are nothing to write home about. some great clouds too, some 'waterfalling' down the fells and a series of wave like clouds much higher up
