Havent got Netweather Extra at this moment in time. Are the conditions good for these storms to last longer than 10 or so minutes and also last through the night?

[anything-but]

Just hope the nights action finishes before work tomorrow (last weeks rain was not fun being a motorcycle courier!).

Not seen anything yet,but looking at that storm brewing over france heading this way expecting to be woken up in the early hours hopefully!

Yep, getting faint flashes to the SW so it's probably Maldon way.

It's fantastic out there, about 4 flashes every 20 seconds with a

Constant rumble of thunder, brilliant

[lottiekent]

Evening all!

Had to sign up and join the fun

Lets hope Kent gets some of that action,been way too long since a good light show down this way.

Hoping for lots of storms this summer, had a bit of a quiet spell the last few summers!

[Paul Sherman]

OMG

To get a Storm with Structure, No Rain in the Uk is a rare beast, it is not often you are looking North, South, East and West at Storms.

Lol I am probably going to go out and try some Lightning shots as these Bolts are so clear, although Pete Scott who lives in Brentwood must be having a field day!

[Wet'n'Dry]

Large cell passing just to my north, flashes every 15 secs, faint thunder and would you believe I can see loads of stars ??!!!!!

[suffolkboy_]

Yet another cell now popped up....anyone in Brentwood...expect some fun and games in the next 20 minutes.

Well wroth the wait

[liambailey09]

Storm that was heading for me has died a death, lightning still to the south east.

Still nice to see all this lightning so early in the season, though!!

[Norfolk Sheep]

come on little blobs, come north, you know you want to....

[UK Weather Outlook]

Lightning 5 - 6 times every minute here in Sudbury......... little rainfall.

[Flash Elvis]

Errmmm where's the lightening gone to my west.....oh there it is....thought it has just died on me

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Sooooooo jealous of all the people getting storms! I can't wait to have a go at some UK lightning photos, it's been a long time since I've had the chance to try and I'm feeling rusty!

Any chance they will survive into the Midlands and up near Nottingham? I'm not building my hopes up but they are on the right track.

Hope some of you can get some pics and share them

[Michelle Baker]

Anything likely to hit Bristol?

[Paul Sherman]

UK or USA??? Come on Paul, tough choice

Lol

I am also watching almost Tornado Producing Supercells on the Streams atm.

No contest btw, USA All the time.
