Reigate has its second storm of the year! Not a bad affair for a typical UK storm, 4:00pm.

Plenty of very visible 'forked' lightning, most around the cloud base and up. It even managed to assemble a patchy shelf cloud as it arrived and looked like there was a vague, lazy rotation in the structure, though I could be wrong.

An active cell, many flashes and lots of thunder.

Nothing to shout about but very satisfying to watch!

We had a storm yesterday evening just after 8 O'clock with quite a bit of lightning and torrential rain. A very heavy shower has just passed through but was not electric. The sun is now shining brightly although it is still raining. Perhaps we will be lucky with another storm later this evening.

looks like earlier storms have joined together and have started coming across here, it's very dark but looks like any chance of lightning and thunder is low

A further two cells in London this afternoon/early evening.   I've had 5 thunderstorms today,  arguably the best I've experienced in a few hours probably since the late 90s, early 2000s. 

This setup in June/July would be horrific.

Fantastic day of weather here in West Kent!

Todays excitement, coupled with last weeks night storm, means I have already exceeded the amount of storms that I experienced last year. 

One strike was a little too close to home..  

One of those blinding flashes followed by instant gunshot thunder, looked on the lightning map and it was just past the opposite side of the road, behind the houses!

Here are some basic phone pictures for all of you who know what you’re talking about. Not sure if the rainbow picture counts as iridescent?

(No lightning pics sorry)

Nice surprise earlier to hear thunder! 

Torrential convective rain was the main feature, followed by hail. 

 

At least the hosepipe ban is off the cards. For now.
