Another cell just exploded over Oxted

Pretty constant rumbling and absolutely chucking it down here for the last 40 odd minutes. Much needed rain and has taken the heat out of the air

Probably wishful thinking, but on the radar it looks like this area might be building and forming into something more organised

Earlier picture from our walk around at Box Hill, absolutely beautiful. Now waiting for the heavy stuff to hit home (Datchet). Fingers crossed!

This was on Blitzortung, maybe they’ve altered the filter or something because it’s not normally this over-dramatic

Seems to be an awful lot of false returns this evening over the channel and near the south coast, anyone any idea why?

Plonked myself on a hill near Guildford that overlooks London, can see the occasional flash off the mid-London line but not much electrical activity

Interestingly it’s just showing up on Lightningmaps.org, Blitzortung is still denying it’s existence. Found it’s struggled quite a lot recently when before it was on point

NW London storm has picked up again W of Leighton Buzzard

Well now you mention it.....

Rain eased off here now, a strange stillness has returned. Feeling very humid again

Aah so you’re the guy that half-inched my log book for the reference number

Heaviest rain of the year! Massive rain drops, much needed

Shot gun thunder and CG lightning spotted off that Epsom cell in Effingham. Best boom all day!

This has just popped up over Reigate, incredibly fast development so don’t think its over for tonight yet!
