Nice lightning and loud thunder near Hull.

Near Hull for the weekend and have had 2 long, loud rumbles. Hoping what's heading through Lincolnshire will be a direct hit.

And so it begins. Very dark. Just had a pre squally downpour. Flashes and thunder approaching. Even the 2 year is excited!

Has been raining moderately for about 30mins, but it's now very dark, and the wind has picked up. Thunder has stopped, for now, but I'd be very surprised if there isn't more to the south.

What's creeping towards London from the SW looks like it just had it's first strike! Hopefully it will develop, and not peter out...

Heard that here. Haven't heard anything else, though not actively listening, even with windows open.

These developments make me wonder for the next hour or so. Is what's coming off the channel going to explode..?

Hi Tom, I think after missing the rain events in late August by meer miles, I think we're doing quite well now. It's nice to see the green return to the parks and open spaces and see our park wildlife enjoying full lakes. Hoping to get earlier potential tonight so as not to disturb little one in the middle of her night. Night before last was not good! Hope you're both well and enjoying the seasonal weather Mark

The cells that keep popping up south of London are torrential. Couple of strikes and thunder from what just went over here in SE12. Looking forward to the next few hours potential. VID20220906174403.mp4

Sudden eruption near Canterbury has given me renewed hope. Anything can happen!

Everything coming from SE and NE seems like it will converge on South London (I REALLY hope!). Though there is every chance that it will all stay too far north, and never reach from the south...

First rain from what's developing east of London. Moderate, large raindrops. Hoping it builds to instability quickly.

London seems to be under a big hole in the cloud and we've had warm sunshine for a few hours. Hopefully a little extra heat will make a difference in the next few hours.

Liking the sudden development south of me. Hoping for a little cooling before we have to put a 2 year old to bed!
