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

Glad ure glass is half full

Hi all, very spectacular looking at the IOW cams on YouTube.... found this one with sound too.

Stay safe down there 

 

Cheers Glenn

Lots of flashes visible from the Cherbourg cell now that the IOW system has largely passed through. 

[Woodboss]

Have seen a monster CG down towards Southampton way! Storm moving off the Cherbourg peninsula is producing some faint flashes from up here now too, that's the one I'm keeping an eye on now.

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Been out all day, so missed the conversation here - I presume storms are still expected to drift NE overnight?

[viking_smb]

everything should start moving east/north east soon

Apologies.

 

looking at the lightning detector, it appears to have exploded into life with 400+ Strikes per minute. Reports from Southampton indicate a huge meso with pictures of several funnel clouds/possible tornado touchdown in the Eastleigh area as the supercell came ashore.

 

better? 

[Man With Beard]

I have some small companions watching the lightning - it's woken them up and they're very excited.

[Southern Storm]

Absolutely incredible evening, managed to get some nice captures, but the clear patch is coming over now 

Just shooting another time lapse, which I think is going to be epic!

Expecting a direct hit on my house in the next 15 minutes (hopefully not literally!). Can't decide which side of the house to look out of!

[Woodboss]

Another massive CG down towards Portsmouth/Southampton way! Quite prolific lightning now visible from the Cherbourg storm too!

[tomp456]

loads of faint flashes out to sea, tragically too faint to record on phone

Well done to those on the S Coast! Epic photos. 
Keeping my eye on the recent cluster of showers that seem to be forming over N London area, as well as the stuff having just entered Hampshire etc.

[Hedge End weather watcher]

Was a good time to feed the hedgehogs and stick the camera out to see what we could catch!
