Well we headed up to Ventnor Downs, but that was not the best place to be, so we headed over to Brading Downs and i managed to capture this :)

It was took from inside my car as the rain was to heavy to be outside taking shots. It is not the best lightning shot ive took - Camera = Fuji S200 EXR

lol! The wind has picked up quite a lot here in the last ten minutes, rain not too far away..We've had seagulls and swans as possible precursors to storms, even though frogs love humid and damp conditions, I'm adding it to the list as well.post-15177-0-68564900-1400543994_thumb.jHe's been on the glenmorangie too!

Surreal here, clear skies as I lie in bed, looking northeast, with the stars out clearly. However I can hear very distant but loud thunder every 10 minutes or so..

Edit: 2 massive flashes of lightning but still clear skies.

Seems things are dying down now. Sure I saw some flashes to the west as I drove down M6 towards Birmingham. Wales must have enjoyed some US style storms today. Here is for more today.

The MCS from France has seemed to fizzle into drizzle, however the sun will be up in 2 hours here and daytime heating getting to work on things once more for tomorrow afternoon.

Yep the system that travelled up from France certainly fizzled out. More is moving up though maybe when the daytime heat starts it will hopefully bring us something here in the home counties. I have a feeling most of the afternoon activity will be to the north of the country :( but if France sends us something up during the day we may get lucky down here lol. Oh and I can also hope for maybe something home grown maybe.

Thunder rumbling away here for the past 40 minutes.

Torrential downpour just rolled through and birds are going mad. Sounds like a tropical rainforest!

This "event" has probably annoyed and disappointed me more than anything this year. What happened?

You can see the showers and thunderstorms already developing North of the Midlands, I suspect this will be the place to be yet again.

Damn, looks like a cell near my home in Stoke and I'm in Birmingham working. Always the same! Missed the last big storm as I was working in Manchester at the time :-(

Things seem to be picking up again, a nice line developed from Nottingham heading up towards Manchester. The Isle Of Man is again getting some more development.

Ahh- distant thunder now. A nice surprise as I wasn't expecting anything until after today.

Also for me personally, the first thunder I've heard this year.

It's almost constant very distant rumblings, I presume from the last cell in the line SE of here.
