Storm Reports Wednesday 26th July 2006 Onwards

[Nick F]

Looks like a storm is headed for the Isle of Wight and Hampshire in the next few hours, also other areas of S'ern and central England could see a few storms pushing North early Weds morning, and further North by lunchtime.

Post your storm reports here.

It's arrived: but at the moment we're on the edge of it. Some light rain, distant flashes and thunder.

Quite a lot of activity building up W. of Portsmouth; Gosport? About 4-5 miles away & heading NE. Bright flashes, extended rolls of thunder.

[coldfingers]

1:00am and the storm is finally getting going after one hour of distant flashes and rumbles of thunder. heavy rain just starting.

[Ross B]

Thunder and lightning in the distance.

Got a (what id call) a very gracefull storm here at mo. Lightning every min -2mins so not very active, but its very quite with the rain and odd thunder.

Hence the word very gracefull at mo

Hoping its gonna change very soon and drop a thunderbolt and wake the whole neighbourhood up

[Louby]

Just been woken up by my lad to say there is a storm (good lad eh? ) and got up to see pink and purple fork lightning streak across the sky. Clouds are a nice pink colour to the north. lots of lightening with odd bits of thunder, but as I typed that just had a HUGE flash and crack of thunder first real chance of to test the strikealert but not sure if I can get any shots as my tripod is at FIL

Heavy rain now

Woken up by a very lazy storm at 4.30am this morning. Long low drawn out rumbles of thunder and a few flashes of lightning. A look outside revealed very misty murky conditions and signs of some rainfall. Storm grumbled on until I fell back to sleep around 5am. No idea what time it started but fairly sure it was fading out at 5.

Currently bright but fairly cloudy.

Half hearted storm this morning at about 1.45am. Reasonable lightning but at long intervals and long deep thunder but on the quite side !

Unbelievable Thunder Storm and Lightning show in Inverurie...flash after flash after flash...looking good for something severe here later on...clouds are towering to massive heights

[StormyLincs]

we had a heavy downpour and one loud rumble of thunder at 09.00...but that was it!...hot and sunny now.

[Stormrider]

Had several rumbles this morning about 3 am with distant flashes to the west, some heavy rain and a close strike and bang. I'm happier now

Hi Kelly, the second storm group at 330ish was better than the first for lightning i think. I was awoken by it at 330ish, lots more rumbling than the group in the evening.

Have put 2 shots in photography.

I'm hoping we don't have any more storms as we're driving to Gatwick this evening and flying tomorrow - dont fancy it much in this sort of weather

[Candice]

Recent storm here - incredible lightning - came out of nowhere - torrential rain and almighty cracks of thunder. Lasted about 15 minutes - garden flooded - again ................ Skies look like another on the way

Big storm west of here - appears to be heading north.
