I assume that’s it for 2022 for me?  Looks like I’ll have to make my own entertainment then. ️

Had quite a spectacular storm at around half seven here in Norwich and I've never seen lightning that bright for a long time! 

I've managed to catch some lightning  

 

Enjoy the pics!

yea it was a brilliant storm, part of the same system I guess that affected the South East UK but was more intense over that way.....

[A Face like Thunder]

Quite spectacular lightning in a starlit sky looking south and east from Whitby in N Yorkshire, but no thunder, so must be quite a distance away.

So much rain here this evening. Training heavy showers over our area for at least a few hours now

[Rufus Butterfield]

Some distant lightning from that squall over Lincolnshire this evening.

Just WOW! On a short break in the New Forest, with spectacular views to the South and West, and just had the most amazing thunderstorm experience ever. Knew it was coming so me and my daughter sat in the hot tub, perched on a hillside, and watched it roll in. Once the rain got super biblical we exited hit tub and proceeded to dance around in the storm. Just such a wonderful, memorable experience. The storm passed directly overhead, and was truly awesome. Sadly my phone captures don't quite do it justice but I hope you fellow storm lovers enjoy our insanely unusual storm non-chase

 

Really stupidly dangerous

Didn't get to watch or photo the storms   but caught the immense rainfall, and flashes of lightning before work.

On the way to work, the anvils at FL330+ provided an amazing photograph.

Close one in MK

[Thundery wintry showers]

Thunderstorms didn't make it as far north as Lincoln but I saw a fair amount of lightning to the south at around 7:30-7:50pm.

Georgie (my best friend) got this yesterday so I did miss a rainbow.

Well that was a b**t for us in the Midlands, sky looked really promising especially yesterday evening to the s/e was hoping for one last hurrah before the year is out but oh well we can't win all, really enjoyed looking at everyone's vids and pics posted yesterday

That sky looks well eerie, the orange glow

Panorama from yesterday and a stacked shot of some lightning.

Seems like a long long time since any storms made it here, yesterday looked promising, but again failed to deliver.

What's the outlook for the rest of the week?

I wonder how Supacell got on yesterday

We were absolutely safe: radar watching and ensuring storm was far enough away to watch safely - as it moved inland we ( as I said) got out of the hot tub. OK, yes we had a dance in the rain when we came out from under our extending roof but tbh, it's a risk many storm enthusiasts take every time they go on a chase: a calculated risk.

And maybe you could have pm'd me to raise your concerns rather than making assumptions.

 

PS If it was my parenting skills you were concerned about, my daughter is a 19 year old storm chaser.
