[Nick F]

M23 in Sussex from Brighton is like a storm generator, keep sending them up to sarf London ...

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Torrential rain now. A few downward strokes, possibly -CG's

Happy Pantz!

Happy for you pal ! Looks like the lot over you has developed a more easterly component to it now.

lightning strike spotted in the far distance looking south from Rushden, Northamptonshire! deffo was a strike for sure, a good 60  - 70 miles away.

wow thats impressive, eyes south now!

[Cyclonic]

Constant lightning seen towards mainland now looking southwest

[Staffordshire]

I think it's gonna be a long wait up here, may have to pop down the a5 around 1am I think

[Mark wheeler]

Lots of lighting kicking off here now

[Daniel*]

Hello all

Can confirm a high based purple flash must be elevated no thunder whatsoever....

Need to catch up! I have a lot to do.

[Grazy2266]

True that bro, I think we're in with a shot looking at the radar though! Strikes popping up around Brighton will be moving our sort of way. 

Yep let's hope so I'm ready lol

[Harry]

Lightning picking up to my South, aka the Tunbridge Wells cell

[SMU]

Storms exploding all down the m23 towards brighton heading NNE

Just getting on the train at old bexley - Greenhithe bound-

2 Flashes, and few rumbles here on welsh border.

 

Died overhead, almost like a winter storm. not consistant.

[dvdfjojo]

Good work!

 

Dark or amber?

I've done the same - on the Mount Gay and totally spoiling it with coke.  Going to stay up until 2am and then admit defeat if nothing by then :-)

[Ben Sainsbury]

Is that our supercell over Bournemouth, most active lightning and lightning taking a more NE turn?

[Chris K]

The Weymouth storm looks to have died down..rest will head NE away from here. Looks fantastic around Poole and Bournemouth at the moment I would keep an eye on that one as it moves NE.

 

Edit: As soon as I posted 2 more strikes near Weymouth & Dorchester haha...

It is going mental south of Bournemouth now and the storms SE of London and in NW England and N Wales not at all bad either. The massive gap in the middle should fill up in the next couple of hours (I hope).

[Flipflop]

Please do your best to record this event people....

[> mark]

a few flashes and a big crack.

then after watching my wife get out of the shower, we've had thunder and lightning here as well!

Nice one :-D
