Could be a late one in our part of the country tho, match sticks in eye lids

See a storm and that’s me going wild will wake right up

[Mizzle]

Bit of a late decision to head South tonight and currently driving down M3 with OH. The sky is already being lit up beautifully from the West. 

[Mapantz]

Still seeing a fair bit of lighting out to the east..

[LeeRoyxD]

 another one firing up in the bay of biscay right behind 

[SqueakheartLW]

A definite line forming here

Then if the direction remains as shown all areas between the orange lines currently look to be in the firing line

Basically Yorkshire down to W Midlands on the western side and SE England on the eastern side with Kent missing out unless something else appears on the southern side of that line

I was heading south from Buckinghamshire to position myself, then decided I'm better off here and travelling east or west.

I might head down to Brighton and head back up as they move inland 

That’s my main consideration. The back end of this thing could be beautiful

[PurpleLED]

Not very frequent but we had some beautiful lightning

[Sam jackson88]

It will drift more eastwards imo but if you’re right it will make a lot of people very happy

All hail the Hail Core with all your green magnificence....

[Hedge End weather watcher]

Really pleased with the show we have here in Hedge End - system to the south west and direct south over Isle of Wight. Just hope for some rain too, but may miss us!

I wasn't expecting that at all. Last time I looked at the radar it was all at the South Coast! Opened the back door to put bins out and there was a bright flash. A nice surprise

[minus10]

Will this become a solid line??

[Lauren]

Southampton cam is very impressive. 

[LeeRoyxD]

Felpham beach has a cracking view of incoming. Flashes every 30 seconds or less 

Glad I made the trip down.

Not sure there will be any missing this for locations along this line and at least 50 miles east!

[Cain]

Looking over towards Bristol sky looks a funny colour 

[Zak M]

Just saw my first flash of lightning!

[Harry]

That super active line is going to miss me to my south so I’m hoping those infill storms can get going and the super active line doesn’t hog all the juice
