Cracking shelf cloud!

WOW! Just heard the loudest most shotgun-like thunder I've ever heard. Jesus.

South Prom - Live Webcam in Hunstanton, Norfolk

Watch a live video webcam of the main beach and promenade in Hunstanton, on the North-West Norfolk coast, in the UK.

Wow!! 70-80 miles away you can see the flashes on the Hunstanton cam! 

[Climate_Eyes]

No rain yet but wind picking up. Flashes seemingly from all directions, revealing momentarily some amazing cloud structures. Am I dreaming? For once this hasn't avoided us and ended up clipping Kent.

[Hirudine]

Wow, huge lightning and thunder overhead!

[Janefroggy]

Couple of big rumbles here in wednesbury west midlands. 

[It's a Philcast]

Nicely woken up by a couple of big strikes here in Bromsgrove...seems to have fizzled out now though...the Wychbold Masts always seem to earth storm activity around here!

[WeatherArc]

Very impressive lightning here. Seen my first CG since about july 2021

A few strikes almost as far west as my longitude now. If only it would go slightly west of North.

Creeping up, popping now west of Stafford.

First distant lightning flashes over Stoke on Trent now seen here  looks like I won't be needing the car tonight.

[UnderTheAnvil]

Venturing out to see if I can't catch some night forks, wish me luck

Right, time then for me to sit in daughter's old bedroom looking south.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Omg I’m seeing the flashes now!! Very frequent and unimpeded. 

[Harry]

First distant rumble - officially a thunder day (or thunder night)

[ChezWeather]

Yes can see them here

[Despicable Weather]

Rinse and repeat here with added gusty wind, rain slowing already and few rumbles.

[Atmogenic]

I’m just laying in my bed and about to go to sleep but i’ve been seeing lightning outside my bedroom window from time to time and looking at the radar, it seems that’s all i’m going to get. But the wind seems to be picking up and getting more frequent

Seems to have gone quiet by me hoping there's more to come currently just heavy rain, its great to see some storm action further north instead of just confined to the south (no offence to anyone ) lightning maps are lit up through the central belt of the country, hoping for more to crop up a bit further west 

[Despicable Weather]

Nice and first fork now 

[Walsall Wood Snow]

I was beginning to lose hope after what until tonight (apart from a single rumble at some point) has been a year devoid of thunder until now. What an epic storm it is as well. Well worth the wait.

[Chris.R]

Lightning detector just gone off 39 km. It’s going to be close.

[sunnijim]

Best storm of 2022 here.

Right overhead for 5 minutes.

Alarms going off locally

A CG strike and  instantaneous shotgun 'House rocking' thunder must have struck somthing like an explosion nearby.

Plenty of CC forks and CG forks.

Torrential rain.

7/10

Lightning now showing on Winking Man cam, Leek.
