All the radar runs seem to point to me just getting rain/sleet with the snow being away to the NW. I want snow!!!!!
-
My power has been back on for a while now, but a couple of houses over the road were out for longer. It looks as if a telegraph pole may have been damaged, but luckily was fixable
-
I slept throught the worst of it last night (although it was raining with the occasional gust before I went to sleep). I woke up just now to the power being off! I'm not sure how bad it got, but I wasn't expecting disruption to power

Blustery and raining in the Tunbridge Wells area..
Same here
-
Wind gradually starting to pick up now
-
Strong feeling of calm before the storm here. Radar shows the rain literally seconds away
-
As at 22:25
Expecting it around midnight-ish
-
The rain gauge and wind speedometer on my weather station have stopped working which is incredibly annoying
-
I'm safe from the worst of it here thankfully, and I'm also safely home for the night so bring it on, Angus.

Could be I've ruled out it being lightning if it isn't the aurora then I have know idea what it could be...just seen it then while typing.
Sounds weird. How close are you to Bristol Airport? It could be aircraft descending through the clouds

Storm & Convective Forecast
Issued 2016-10-15 10:22:26
Valid: 15/10/2016 0600 to 16/10/2016
CONVECTIVE / STORM FORECAST - SAT 15TH OCT 2016
Synopsis
Upper and colocated surface will low in the southwest approaches will drift slowly NE across southern Ireland by early Sunday. Associated cold front will lift north across the UK and Ireland during Saturday, clearing N Scotland by midnight. Shortwave trough ejecting NE ahead of upper low and associated frontal wave will bring an area of squally heavy thundery downpours NE across southern England, Midlands, E Anglia and Wales this afternoon and evening, followed by further showers towards southern and western coasts of England, Wales and EIRE overnight that could be thundery.
... S ENGLAND, WALES, MIDLANDS, E ENGLAND AND IRELAND ...
Cold front lifting north brought a line of heavy rain and isoated thunder earlier this morning across far SW England, SW Wales and southern Irish Sea. Now Water Vapour imagery, 500mb relative humidity and vorticity charts indicate a marked shortwave trough moving NE towards SW England this morning - stronger lift and dry mid-level air of the shortwave is supporting an area of heavy convective rainfall with embedded isolated thunder and lightning now moving in across Cornwall and Brittany. This area of heavy rain with isolated thunder will continue NE across S England, Wales, Midlands and E England through the afternoon and evening. Strong southwesterly flow aloft and deep layer shear in the order of 30-40 knots will be sufficient for organisation of convection/storms - with a risk of heavy rainfall leading to localised flooding and isolated strong wind gusts possible. Have issued a MARGINAL risk for localised flooding towards S England - where higher rainfall signal is indicated.
Further heavy showers will follow this convective/thundery area of rainfall from the southwest to affect southern and western coastal areas of England, Wales and EIRE this evening and overnight, as steep lapse rates overspread southern and western areas. Some heavier showers producing isolated lightning towards coasts where warm SSTs create stronger updrafts/high cloud tops through cold air aloft. Isolated localised flooding, hail and gusty winds will be possible with these showers.

OK, that has definitely changed...

As always, right on the edge. Don't think we'll get anything but rain here

It's gone extremely dark as it starts pouring again

Just had a short, very heavy shower pass through

A sferic just North of Kirkby but didn't hear anything from it.
Looking at the radar that might possibly be a false return

Dull and cloudy start to the day
15.1C
90% Humidity

I make it 6 thunder days for here in 2016. There may have been more, but off the top of my head I can only think of 6
-
Despite a chance of a storm, today has been dull with heavy showers and nothing electrical
-
Not so exciting here I'm afraid. Woken by a distant rumble at about 3AM, followed by another one around 5/10 minutes later, then nothing. Was expecting so much more, but we are still under a warning with 93% humidity so there may still be a glimmer of hope
Just looked at the radar! Is that the cold front coming through? Because if so, it's about to get rather wet here!
-
Right, going to sleep now, got to be up early tomorrow for school. Could do with not being woken up by a storm but if I am, I am. Enjoy whatever you may get everyone, stay safe, and I look forward to checking back here in the morning

Really ought to get some sleep, but now that's coming closer, might not be able to.
And as I wrote that, I heard what MIGHT have been an incredibly distant rumble

The Holland/Belgium cell (or at least the lightning strikes) now seem to have made a right and be heading North towards Amsterdam. If showers keep developing along that line from Surrey up to London, we may get something here before too long
-
I'm starting to get a little bit of a headache, sometimes a sign of approaching rain and/or storms
