Few drops of rain starting to fall now - still not so much as a sniff in terms of cloud pyrotechnics

[tara303]

[D-J-V]

Right heading off now, had a great night here in Brighton, lightning, heavy rain and gusty winds!

Would stay up but back up to London tomorrow to move flat, good luck all hope the storms kick out a gew CG's for the inland guys!

[snow raven]

I'm off work tomorrow (well, in fact, the week ) - is it seriously worth staying up and radar watching...?

[Nick F]

Getting to desperate measures now, will the arrow do the coaxing trick?

[Norfolk Sheep]

Trust the East to get there storms errrr,Maybe the site should be renamed Netweather East or East weather lol know point us westerners being here

The proper east has had hardly anything in the way of storms this year Perhaps I should say the far east....

[snow raven]

Getting to desperate measures now, will the arrow do the coaxing trick?

I hope so - if it carries on in that direction, I might come close to me also!

[gottolovethisweather]

oooooOOOOOO again - out towrds newbury reading way - whiter this time..............

Hopefully Newbury, that would be nice.

Still a good few cells producing some sferics but for me it's bedtime but with curtains open!

A quick grab for you all complete with assumed cell movements before departure to dreamland.

Multicell Regards

Rain getting heavier and heavier here.

There's an indication of intensification to the SW of here, so who knows....might squeeze out the odd flash and bang

Blimey - sudden increase in intensity!!!

[VillagePlank]

Sitting at home near the top of Bluebell Hill, and I can swear I've seen some flashes from a long way away and a rumble or two. Nothing directly observed - but it got me out of bed and logged on just in case! Had quite some heavy rain over the last ten minutes or so, too ...

[Robbie Garrett]

Seems thing to be intensifying near Gatwick, as they pass near the Southdowns. Thank god for my MET book!

Nothing beats it, lol! I would love to see a Suepercell head northbound, get the Orographic affect then the urban affect, does anybody remember this happening? Most UK Supercells Ive know have just scraped KENT!
