26C here although high cloud is moving in from the south. Really humid and not much in the way of wind at all. Met office is predicting 30 for my location later with even a 50% chance of storms at 15:00. I think I’m too far east tbh

3 storms in the space of a week!!
Tonights storm turned out the most exciting although it did make a direct hit around these parts.

Gatwick arrivals now skirting past here. Certainly an usual approach path for gatwick as at first glance it looks like they will land 26L, but instead, approach from a northerly direction into 08R. Exciting storm!
Never mind those pilots have decided to miss the approach to 08R and what I presume divert/hold

Weather avoidance galore. BAW27HK just reported the approach is about to infringed by the front, so could get a bit messy unless they land 26L.

Only distant rumbles could be heard here. Did get one flash and a moderately loud boom. Otherwise we have only had a few drops of rainfall here so far today despite looking like being in the frontline to some very torrential rain. Nice disintegration of both convective potential and rain.

Webcam live from Terracina, Italy is popping off
Don’t get these kind of storms very often in our neck of the woods

Thunder heard from the south. Lucky year for thunderstorms (in this corner of the country) . Sorry fellow midlanders and northerners

Fantastic day of weather here in West Kent!
Todays excitement, coupled with last weeks night storm, means I have already exceeded the amount of storms that I experienced last year.
One strike was a little too close to home..
One of those blinding flashes followed by instant gunshot thunder, looked on the lightning map and it was just past the opposite side of the road, behind the houses!
Here are some basic phone pictures for all of you who know what you’re talking about. Not sure if the rainbow picture counts as iridescent?
(No lightning pics sorry)

Hi all,late to the party and an hour of trawling through the post's

the Barton cam is starting to show more lightning now and here is a couple of stills of the one lightning i got off there plus a clip...
this cam should be good viewing soon as this lot has developed nicely.
Can confirm, Barton Sea is where its at!!-

Don’t post often, might get some hate but well done Kent you win again. Kick me if I’m wrong in the morning lol
Well you say that but I often miss out on a classic Kent clipper, being in West Kent. Also missed all the midlands/northern storm fest last year. Not too annoyed as I’m almost guaranteed to succeed in heatwaves in this corner of the country. Which is just as well being a fan of the heat.

Tonight will not be fun thats for sure I accepted it last year because I was free from school for half the year (yr 11). So it didn’t bother my already destroyed sleeping schedule. I would rather boil than be get kept awake by the birds, so my window will be shut come bed time. Expecting mid 20s.

It is now quickly melting after the heavy shower. Nice to see heavy snow again. Earlier I could really feel the suns strength through the window so damage has been done.

Lightning visible near Tonbridge, Kent. Its really active! In a good spot at the moment. This is giving me flashbacks of a certain storm last year where flashes from the channel were also visible.
