Good Afternoon.
Last night was a truly spectacular night! Some of the best thunder and lightning I've ever seen! We first set out about 7:30pm first going over to Freshwater bay over at West Wight, First witnessed a beautiful shelf cloud which was huge, as well as this with some lovely lightning, a mix of intra cloud and powerful cg's! When we got to our location we ended up under a hut looking straight out to sea, as further storms was developing further east directly towards us. We was treated with some absolute belter CG'S very close with explosive thunder! It was kinda scary but well worth it. The rain arrived which was torrential which caused some local flooding which we had to walk through back to the car to drive back to Sandown bay.

As we drove back to Sandown further cells were developing to our South amongst the long line, by the time we got back the lightning became even more frequent with many powerful CG'S including posi strikes to which again some was extremely close with  more explosive thunder over and over making everywhere shake!

Also we had another storm move through earlier on this Afternoon producing some nice thunder and some extremely heavy rain!

 

Here are some images which am sharing from our IWMetservice forecasting page  

Have been following this thread 24/7 the past few days (as have done since joining NW in April 2004) and amongst the many fantastic posts/photos, these really are absolutely fantastic as well another NW member from the Isle of Wight (sorry forgot your forum name) but also amazing photos. Doesn't really get much better!! WOW!!

Could not access my old account. Paul Sherman you got some great shots! I'm now living Lowestoft after many years living in Haverhill and to be honest it is a thumbs down! BUT I have seen much CC and sheet lightening to my south/southeast. Paul Sherman, I hope your well mate and in the years ahead I will be chasing with you and crew! All that matters is the here and now, and I am flying in my honours degree in Computing/IT with applied mathematics............ and unlike many that will get 50% and say I am a programming whizz......... I am on for a 1:1 and in the top 5% of damn clever men. Paul your shots are damn fantastic mate.........!!!! Some CG's here in Lowestoft now ........... BAAANNNGGGGGGG!!!!!! As I typed that the house lit up then huge crack of thunder. Clearly I want more than this but many are getting nothing at all. I moved here for this reason........ CLIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol x
