The lightning I saw tonight is the first night-time lightning I've seen for a while! (2009 I think)

[Bluebreezer54]

Given that all this was forecasted to be more or less down south this afternoon and tonight I can only congratulate you folk further north on your good luck. Not a whisper here

Hi Peter,

Wish I was still up there now lol, that band of showers giving the storms up there passed over Nottingham earlier with just a moderate shower and no thunder or lightning.

It was supposed to be a good move coming to Nottingham

[Carl]

Really kicked off in Darlo about an hour ago, many flashes and loud, prolonged rumbles of thunder.

Still seeing occasional flash to the North.

[Cloud 10]

Hearing a few rumbles of thunder here now,looks like a narrow but potent band.

[Dom W]

I saw some great lightning over Shotton, it is now heading over Newcastle - seems to be clearing behind now.

[Gratts]

Wow is all I can say, just got home from driving around Lincolnshire wolds, was fantastic up there, frequent cg and very heavy rain. Been over a year since I've seen anything so happy :-D

[Cloud 10]

Big flash! Big BANG!

And again!

Very unusual for lightning to make it this far north in these situations.

onions THE BED that was the best of the year.

[Andy_]

Hearing Rumbles of Thunder, wasn't expecting that tonight

[Purplepixii]

Do I have permission to sulk yet?

Oh indeed, mind if I join you?

[Dom W]

Can still see odd flashes from the north, one or two quite frequent flashes. Quite cold out there now too.

[P-M]

Can confirm that thunder was heard here too, torrential rain for about 10-15 mins literally poured down. Great unexpected little band of showers!

[Chris.R]

Been having heavy showers for the last half hour, interested to se if I get anything thundery tonight.

[Dom W]

Had a bit of hail and strong winds as it started earlier.

[Costa Del Fal]

Had this Lightning activity originated in the West it would never have made it this far North by now. :lol:
