Welcome to net-weather Matt

I never got a welcome

The area of storms is decaying quickly now, but not before I witnessed 4 great pink flashes of lightning at the edge of Salisbury Plain No thunder as evidence of the dieing out process.

Cloud seems to be breaking slightly and radar at 2100 has hardly anyhting left on it compared to earlier.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Only distant thunder for Lancaster, but the rainstorm has been quite something, with a period of remarkable torrential rain.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Just got back home to discover we had 27mm of rain and hail in 2 and a half hours, and at one point, it was falling at a rate of 250mm/hour.

[highcliffe2]

had thunder and lightning last night at around 6pm and some around  9 and 10pm with heavy rain here in Bournemouth

Same here, a period of torrential rain from 9 to 10pm with a flash of lightning every 1 and a half minutes or so, some strikes were relatively close, but it looked as though the majority were towards my SE (Isle of Wight).

Some pretty nice strikes

[rob-lancs]

For Last Night: I'd like to echo the Lancaster report, however without thunder, the torrential rain was quite something dropping vertically from the heavens with speed and force.

[Interested]

Thought I would add that Basingstoke had a shower with heavy drops around 6.30pm (Monday) that lasted about 10 minutes.

The a storm bumbled around us for about an hour but did not produce any more rain and then disappeared.
