raining here in stoke-on-trent but nothing else so far...still very warm though

[MrSunshine]

Nothing to report here as yet apart from its looking dark to the south & to the east. 

[Dan the Man]

Anybody on here chasing at the mo?

[Cheshire Freeze]

I want some thunder and lightning. Please share!

[Eye to the sky]

Occasional but very bright lightning to my west,steady rain as well but again most seems to be missing me.Just like last Monday!!.

[Robbie Garrett]

Looks tasty down there. Just had some lightning and frequent rumble of Thunder here in Central London (SE17) - nothing since 8pm though. There's a bit of convective high altitude stuff but nothing surface based, as of yet. 

 

 

 

 

Down on the coast in Dymchurch lightning we are having is very elevated and vibrant purple - the loud ground shaking thunder we had earlier is no more.

It's too wet though to go out in sadly.

EDIT - Scracth that - two very close and powerful CGs as I finished typing lol....ground shaking thunder is back lol.

Breeze and low cloud beginning to whip in from the ESE...this thing seems to be trying to organise

[Lightning Ed]

I see that the system has now changed direction for the SE, rather than moving NW its now moving NE.  Excellent...

[Mesoscale]

Just had a heavy downpor with a coupleof flashes of lightn ing and some thunder. The lightning is very strobe like, instead of the usual one flash and done.

[Harry]

Has anyone else got a visual in the Romney-Dymchurch direction?

[Polar Maritime]

Sky's getting very dark to my South now, and thunder in the distance...

[liambailey09]

closer flash and louder thunder! 

[Dan the Man]

The first bolt has struck here!

[snowwonder]

Lightning and thunder here near Luton airport. Air so still

[Robbie Garrett]

OMFG!!  That was incredible, I've never seen that in 15-17 years... literally 5-6 flashes of lightning in 2 seconds!!  And a rumble of Thunder, come on explode...

 

 

Still rumbling...

[Lightning Ed]

And as I type, Thunder/Lightning at a distance of just 2 miles from the North Surrey downs.

[WheresTheSnow]

Wow, lightning just outside my window, massive rumble too!! Beats last week already...

[poseidon]

First distant long rumble of thunder here. Light rain here at the mo.

[Eskimo]

Lightning every 3 mins observed from north london

[RainyNWales]

Any chance there will be any Thunder&Lightning on the western side of this rain band or it just going to be rain?

[weatherobsuk]

The next door neighbour filling up the watering can made more of a 'noise' than this drizzle, blegh, I don't know what to think currently other than significant rainfall amounts were modelled for the NW by 9pm and it looks like a typical late autumn day out there.

[Lazz]

I hope people are taking photos or videos

[Lightning Ed]

Harry the best is about to have passed you with nothing behind it looking at the radar. Perhaps half an hour to an hour left for you...

[WeatherGuru2012]

its so dark here, like really dark and nothing is happening!!!
