A flash!

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Right! This looks like it’s getting interesting. I’ll be heading out possibly, despite it actually heading directly towards me here in W Norfolk on its current trajectory! It’ll be at 1-3AM too, which would be brilliant!!

Activity under Weymouth where the heavy rain is. Could turn decent as time moves on. - I'm guessing. I am relatively new here, so take what i say with a pinch of salt!

Where are you in Hants?

[Lu.]

Lots of flashes All around however barely any CGs - too much rain?

I'm hoping it continues to us in Lincolnshire, slim chance but guess we'll see, night still young

Probably the best direction to point it. Fizzling out here after a few claps with the heaviest of the rain heading in land. Tomorrow afternoon and evening looking good for here.

Looks like you’ll get at least some of it, if it holds out.

Yep - that's the good thing about this coming week, ample opportunities.

[Dorset_Weather]

Heavy rain now with lightning to my west, east and south now, lots of distant thunder and 1 CG spotted so far.

[ChannelThunder]

As others have mentioned, not many CGs. One of those very flashy but not very boomy nights perhaps? Just hiding in my car from a downpour before I resume the photo attempts 

[Sam jackson88]

Nice one! At least i can go to bed knowing that I've seen some sferics tonight (I'll grab anything... it's been a 'quiet' year in my location). Onwards and upwards, hopefully i can return the favour over the next few days...

Some serious activity developing in the channel now,over 5000 strikes in the last 90mins! Time to get ready for the chase! Good luck to anyone that's heading out to see this.

Reminder for those saying September isn’t a good month for storms here’s hoping it gets inland

Check out “local marks fishing” on YouTube for a live storm chase near Portsmouth (he was fishing ️)

Wow! Very frequent strikes on there now! It’s maturing very well that storm. 

[Dorset_Weather]

All tailed off rather quickly now, still raining but very little electrical activity apart from the distant flashing from the stuff in the channel.

[amybonnie98]

Very loud thunder and frequent lightning here in Southampton.
