There is a bit on page 11. This is about the new LEELA (The Met Office’s next generation Lightning Location system.) which replaces ATDnet sferic location
"The distance between the ground estimations and the LEELA position is of the order of 1-2 km"

The Netweather Radar from around that time and spot difference from photos of Cassington Plant at Yarnton and Derby one
Strange looking at the lightning strike history around that area yesterday, that theres no recorded lightning strikes showing on lightningmaps.org....or does that site miss stuff occasionally??

I would keep a lookout, the flow has changed and storms are heading more northerly now, am watching these new cells currently, pretty sure they will get to us it just depends how electrically active they are
Lets hope theres still some cape about
They might get some energy over the cotswolds, I'll stay awake n see.

I used to be a trainspotter (to be fair you never stop - you just spend the remainder of your life in recovery) but it’s helped me learn to not care what people think when I’m out filming or taking photos.
I actually enjoy bringing it up with strangers, it really does start conversations, and on the whole people are usually fascinated to learn more.
The fact is that geeks are already inheriting the earth. Embrace it - you love science, and weather - wear it like your best hat!
Reminds me of a memory that came to me the other day - over in Ashdown filming a storm to the NE towards the Docklands - a guy comes up and asks to borrow my phone to call his mum or something (he had problems with his motorbike or something and didn’t have his phone or it had lost charge). But I was filming the storm with my phone. Had to try and explain that it wasn’t me being a d**k - I literally needed my phone to film the storm. Even in that situation he started asking loads of questions about it - was really interested. It was actually really annoying after a while I just wanted to be left alone to concentrate… LOL
Ahhhh trainspotting.....I loved it myself standing out in all weathers underscoring class 37's, HST's and the like in my trainspotting booklet.....reminds me when I watched a triple header of 37s head up the lickey incline in the early 80s during a summer storm...my family called me nuts......no change there then!!
If only i'd taken a camera to capture the Lightning at Lickey incline.....food for thought for a future storm ayyy??

It was certainly thundery in the SE sixty five years ago on 5th September 1958. Philip Eden reported 131mm at Knockholt and 102mm at Eynsford (Kent), two tornados causing damage in the Horsham/ Gatwick area and the UK's largest hailstone, 10cm across and weighing 141g, which fell at Horsham. We were abroad at the time and I don't remember this event.
It was even more thundery here in Bromsgrove on this day in 1968...... when my Mum gave birth to me!! Babooom tish...........
....start the car!!

Unironically the lightning when you add it on the Meteociel radar seems to be more correct to me to be honest. Though it's not showing a load at the moment. Only about 10 on it.
Thank you..I'll use that more often then
