Sun is out again.  Hopefully that will help build some more stuff. 

I could see that deluge you had out to my west. Skies seem promising, plenty of sunshine about and temps seem a little warmer than expected, so fingers crossed!

 And it really   Was a deluge. Not seen rain like that for awhile.  Most of it has  evaporated now lol.

Torrential rain here again, and to be truthful, I was actually at Smeatharpe Airfiled during the thunderstorm here, but even so it was great with the flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder all around!

Im sick of this, I just want thunder. I heard distant rumbles a second day in a row today. As I type theres a cell causing torrential downpours literally 2 streets away, whilst here its sunny, then a few miles the other way out in the wash there was another cell that generated electricity. All I want is lightning, or at least some rain.

I guess I still have a chance, I can see more towers building in the distance which are approaching slowly, but I don't think my chance of actual lightning here is very high now most of the larger cells have started dying off in the area.

Thunderstorm here in Limousin. Unplugging!!!

[andymusic]

something black and nasty looking to the north and west - could be the coalman - but it ain't lol will I get the sound and pyrotechnics this time round?

[Spikecollie]

Major crap here! Power has gone out. June in mid France...

[Delka]

Huge rumble from the distance, checked radar, strike a few miles away from a huge black cloud i can see approaching in the distance! 

[Nick L]

Cloud fart from a potent cell just skirting Aylesbury.

[Ben Sainsbury]

Nicely developed cell to my West! Just hoping to see a funnel cloud!

At this rate i'll be skipping any food or just ordering in a take-away! 3rd rumble, then 4th accompanied by a slight distant flash!

[Aiden2012]

whats the chance of the storms on east coast reaching bridlington ??

[Delka]

Quick question, why is the lightningmaps.org not showing any strikes from the area if I can definitely see/hear them? It showed the first one but just removed that aswell? 

[William Grimsley]

Come on, more lightning you know you want too! I can see it developing to my west again, round 2?

[Ben Sainsbury]

WHAT, a huge rumble out of nowhere here!

Good luck down there William!

The storm that narrowly passed me just then seems to be dead, just a bit of torrential rain down the road again that didn't even get to me. Total of 7 rumbles, 2 flashes which passed by insanely quickly, coulda blinked and missed it all! More development in sight to my south and west, hoping for round 2 of the day soon..

[Nick F]

Just hung my washing out in the garden, which will mean the rain will now arrive after a dry day so far. Still waiting for my first thunder of the week, not heard any since last week!

[Spikecollie]

Power out here in Limousin, France. Must have been a direct strike. Rumbling all around the hills. Salad meal me thinks!!!

[Chris.R]

The sun is out really strong now. There's loads of energy to play with.
