Congrats on those! I also had my camera pointed at one of our two TV masts (Chillerton) over here but didn't get so lucky! You've done really well there given the lack of CGs. There are more in your photos than I even saw with my eyes! I really messed up in terms of positioning etc which didn't help.
Thanks!
There was some quite prolific lightning over your way, I'm surprised you didn't see more than you did,
but I agree, from what I could see most, of the lightning was in the cloud
Hopefully tonight yields better cloud to ground lightning prospects...
Looks like it could be a late one

Congrats to many on here that are enjoying a decent thunderstorm
This years storm season has been a strange one, started off well in May, not much in the middle.... and here we are in September getting some decent action!
Unfortunately for me, the storms initiated a little bit too far east for me to get in on some decent action.
Plus I made the mistake of going west, when I should have gone east, but there you go that's life!
I did manage to get some pictures with my 135mm and I'm actually quite happy with how they turned out
Hopefully there will be more surprises in the coming days!

800hpa winds, is this layer, roughly were the storms are forming? If so it should be ok for our area

Taking the 21.45 radar frame into consideration, it's going further east than that.
Do you expect developments further west?
I can't quite decide where to head for this one
-
Looking at the radar, one thing that sticks out is how fast these cells are moving...
If you do get a storm this evening, enjoy it while it lasts!
Im heading out now, fingers crossed some some something

Seems to have stopped now, looks like what I was seeing came from the mass heading towards Bournemouth
This appears to be decaying now, I am still seeing very faint flashes way out on the horizon, most likely from the Storms near Cherbourg

Just arrived at southbourne clifftop, I've seen two bolts out to sea, nothing showing on lightning maps though
Just heard a rumble!

Looks like we are just starting to see signs of activity sparking off to the west of the Cherbourg peninsula, roughly inline with the latest UKv
I'm just about to head down to the coast just in case
Possibly a touch further west than modeled, which could be a positive for areas towards the southeast

South central current conditions, 23°c and much fresher than even an hour ago
The wind is quite gusty at times, and we have low level cloud streaming in off the sea #NotFeelingVeryStormy....

It looks like there could be some more showers forming behind the main front
A cell has formed out in the channel, and is heading right for my location, it will be interesting to see what comes of it
It's definitely more breezy now, and it has cooled by about 3 degrees Celsius, but still rather muggy

Can't believe I finished work early and came out to take photos of this! What a pathetic end to the heatwave!
I feel your pain
I did exactly the same, and what makes it worse is, i know all my colleagues are going to be taunting me tomorrow after this epic fail

That was looking NE from Cowes so don't know how much you would have seen of it. Certainly didn't see it from where I am although if you've got a better view in that direction than I have you might have done.
Yeah, I was looking at the radar wondering which cell it came from, definitely nothing from this side of the island, nice capture though

And this one just before
Wow, I wish I'd stayed out now just in case
Radar looks like the cells are dieing out now, wouldn't rule out anything popping up later on though

Many surprises in-store in the coming days, I definitely didn't expect these cells to appear this evening

False radar or dry lign
Most likely fault radar returns
Definitely not false radar returns, lightning has been reported in the southwest, and I can see precipitation falling from the bases
Whether anything is reaching the ground is another matter

This was taken about 20 minutes ago, nice suprise if nothing else

I'm not holding out much hope here
too low on the horizon for me to see anything, I'll give it 20 minutes before I head off to bed

Maybe someone can enlighten me here, but how much extra danger is there with temps of 42C compared to temps in the 36-39C range which although extremely rare have happened in the UK before?
A lot of people talking about how dangerous this could be- I don't think it's quite at that level in terms of danger to life. Fires could be another issue however,
This was posted yesterday
11 hours ago, gaia rules said:The humidity therefore night temperatures will be important in predicting impact on health. I set up the Heat Health warnings when I worked as health lead at the Met Office after the 2003 European Heat wave and it was the night-time temperatures that mattered more. In France those living above the high floors of tower blocks who died as temperatures cooled from the ground up. The higher humidity meant that there were high min temps. So far the predicted humidity next weekend is very low so although the temperatures are frighteningly high if the humidity stays low and there are no more than 2 nights in a row with minima of 22 then it may not be so catastrophic on health.
So not an exact comparison, but the original poster gives some idea of what could come to pass in an extreme event

This is what I managed.
I don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the video, you must have been in a prime spot with your view to the north.
I'm gutted to miss what looked to be a cracking event, judging by all the posts going around on social media
Hopefully forecasting gets better in the future, as I would probably set the alarm, hopefully that is not the last decent showing of the season

Looks like Nodrog will have a decent video out later!

Beautiful evening... smut playing tricks or is something developing to our north?
I'm picking up something very faint on my camera, but I'm not 100% sure if it is NLCs
I'm not going out tonight, just a taking a couple of shots from the garden, so it will probably end up being a decent show

Nice catch, looks like we could see developments for the next hour or so

And we don't have to wait until 2230 before it's dark enough for photography
I shouldn't get too excited yet..
