Ok so after a bit of waiting I'm about to get a storm! Lightning arrived just in time, or it would of gone past without a show!

manged to catch the cg but just missed the fork, another good day for Brum

 

Yeah, that looks like it. Seemed like it was hitting one of the council high rises, but it could have just been a fortuitous alignment from where I was standing.

Got some good pics of the lightning from the second storm we had this afternoon. Sky was evil looking. Had nothing all summer then 3 storms in 3 days! Lol

Got my eyes on this lot, though might be a few miles West for us

exactly the same scenario as you in Congleton....could see the shelf cloud, the greenish tinge underneath with a few distant flashes and rumbles....didn't get that close unfortunately but was a beautiful thing to look at....

We got hit by that storm here. Very frequent thunder and lightning at one point, mostly I-C lightning with the odd CG boom.

[Willsy]

lovely squall line developing on the radar. had several flashes so far in new milton

Nice shots there Arnie

Really dark anvil ahead of this storm and some nice blue/green tones amongst the cells as they were gathering to the South. A couple of CG's over the harbour and still have lightning coming down to the North of me and now the suns out!

[TJS1998Tom]

Could look very promising, usually storms happen to the East of us so we tend to miss out but looks like it's heading our way

 

Edit: Hoping it's not dying down,  but does seem to look that way now. Looking stormy outside though

Nothing here bar 15 mins of moderate rain. Lightning detector said lightning 7 miles away. Yeah, whatever....

Sympathies!

 

You're about 40m from where we are, often they whisk past us quite quickly out to sea

 

There just aren't enough storms anymore - we've had a few decent ones but 2017 was the best year of late; we had one July/August time early hours, must have been a good hour and a half, really loud crashes but constant deep rumbles from all directions...couple of them shook the house, got to be the most intense storm I can recall

Juicy line developing there, can't remember the last time September had so many imports. Been a good few years I'd of thought

That is one super cn cloud..

Wish i was there today.....hardly any activity...

[Supacell]

Back home and lightning being detected to my south. Don't think it will amount to much though.

Textbook CG+ that, Arnie. 

[Thunderspotter]

A few flashes and first (deep)  rumbles of thunder! It seems very loud considering that it's still miles away.

[Allseasons-Si]

That storm in NE England is producing 90+ strikes a minute.

[Sam jackson88]

I'm seeing lots of flashes to my South and it is getting more frequent with rumbles getting louder

[amybonnie98]

View of the storm moving in over Southampton 

[TJS1998Tom]

Seems the storm that was approaching Lincoln has died down, looking good for those near Hull though

[TJS1998Tom]

Quite interesting how this lot has formed

Came here to say this!

[Sam jackson88]

That cell to the left of Guernsey grew out of nowhere could be another storm growing

[TJS1998Tom]

Shame no storms will happen, it has that thundery feel outside which would be great due to it being darker now

[Southern Storm]

Just been treated to a pretty decent storm.. 

I have some footage as well but it will have to wait ... UKv has heavy showers forming in southern areas as the evening draws on.. but it might be a similar situation as last night, so I won't be getting too excited 

On another note, was in the phone to Nodrog, it sounds like he's had a very productive afternoon, which included him almost getting struck by lightning! Should be an interesting watch when he finally manages to upload to YouTube
