They will weaken as they move N/NE into a region of lower instability, but the region of higher instability should gradually move in the same direction later tonight.

May have to buy a moustache for the camera mic, the wind noise is aggravating!

A wig would be more appropriate

Somewhere around Lyme Regis would be a good bet mate,what ya think? 

Indeed. But I'm a bit far from there. I'm about 10 miles north of Portsmouth and seeing very distant flashes to the south.

I think Portsmouth, maybe slightly east is a good shout in my opinion. As instability transfers NE there may be several clusters of thunderstorms that head your way tonight. That saying there are likely to be periods of no activity at times.

[Azazel]

Though looking at the lightning detector, activity has completely dropped off.

There's an isolated cell to the NW of IOW which may be the culprit!

[Harry's House]

[Allseasons-Si]
