Lightning flashes to my north east (I'm in Colchester,Essex),still dry but becoming increasingly cloudy!

[Paul Sherman]

Fantastic lightning to my south now with distant booming thunder and fork lightning, currently 3 cells surrounding me at present, Kent must be getting a hammering.

[the_white_stuff]

blowing a gale here, making the front door rattle :shock: overcast too.

[Paul Sherman]

Great strorm from 1100pm until 2am last night, continual wave of storms, must have been multi cell, very loud thunder and close lightning strikes, only casualty was a hanging basket that fell with too much rainfall.

Here we go again Got a storm growing almost right above me. had 1 clap of thunder so far,rain now starting to fall.

Almost same place where yesterday storm developed

[Paul Sherman]

Nanu, I'm in Southwark today and i have sunshine and hazy skies, where in South-East London are you??

Paul Sherman

[Paul Sherman]

Sorry, Edit from last post, have seen that cell and it is growing in exactly the same place as yesterday's, what way is it going??

Paul Sherman

[nanu]

well so far its not moving anywhere to my knowledge just growing up above me. Too hazy and light rain falling is stopping me from seeing the cloud movement,but wind is blowing westerly.

But activity is small at the moment not much happening,just a clap of thunder every 10mins id say, But rain is now falling heavey now so may spark off

[nanu]

opps soz im in bellingham between catford/bromley

[Paul Sherman]

I have just looked out of my window to look at the east-south-east and it's looking impressive "GROUNDHOG DAY" for london again. Raining in Southwark and getting darker by the minute.

[nanu]

Yeah can see the top of that one now right above you paul, soz mate aint gonna last long . this one above me now is small isolated shower now moved off s/w, can see the tops off them.

Looks like just a gathering of heavy isolated showers around us

But then again you never know around here with the heat of london :?

[Paul Sherman]

Yeah, this ones the same, has bottomed out a bit, anyhow the 2 storms from the past 24 hours is more than enough for me

Thunder now rumbling closer to me here, a couple of rumbles a minute at the moment. No lightning seen yet, getting closer and louder slowly.. Will let you know what happens - first sniff of a storm in about 5 years

[Guest Mrs murphymoo]

Had a single flash of lightning and a loud rumble of thunder here about 5pm - torrential rain and hail - flooded my patio :shock:

[Kent Snow]

I too experienced the Storm that Paul Sherman reported between 11pm and 2am, although i was in bed at the time and it woke me up at around 0130. Had another T-Storm today, which i've only just found out knocked the Radar out at Southend Airport. A close call indeed. :shock:

[nanu]

Another one developing to my east (again) Lots of booming noises, sounds like this one got its act togeather then the previous one.

I would say its hitting sidcup eastwards maybe dartford. Ive got a long dark base of cloud stretching across the horizon,too hazy to see lightning as of yet but now getting dark here... fingers crossed

[kold weather]

That same storm is just missing me but I have heard several bangs of thunder

[KT]

I too experienced the Storm that Paul Sherman reported between 11pm and 2am
