As @Southern Storm said some fantastic photos, particularly of the storms at sunset...really envious in a nice way...although storms tomorrow are forecast further north im really hoping we can eek out a few surprises further south than today also...(please )

Judging by how much the models have been chopping and changing recently I wouldn't give up hope, there will be surprises for many tomorrow 

I just hope the surprises are positive ones, and not one massive bust where all that potential fails to spark into life

Wow, probably the best storm in years here just now. Constant lightning. Just missed out on the heaviest of the rain, but it hasnt done much to reduce the temperature. Its still 22.0C.

[AndyFromDonny]

Been watching a cell grow out the window wasn't expecting it to electrif but it's all took off as the radar shows.

[cheese]

The lightning from that storm in East Yorkshire is visible all the way from here! 

 

 

[Mapantz]

I'm not expecting anything here, but with the possibility of cells firing west (west Dorset/Devon) after midnight, it's possible it could kickstart some cells further east.

There’s lightning from another storm that’s developed further south 

 

 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Wow! Great flickering storm by all accounts!

I can see lightning from that storm over Hornsea here in Lincoln! 60 miles away, constant flashes

Yep, that's the one. It passed right overhead. Its weird as its constant lightning but barely any thunder.

Absoletely lagging it down here now with flashes and thunder to the East of me

Was watching it in the distance from here, never seen constant lightning like it, made great viewing from up here on the Wolds

[GlennP2]

Sat watching it from Cleethorpes, looks very surreal and the one that hit us has just about died with only a few flashes. Seems so still sat out.

cheers Glenn

[Rufus Butterfield]

Another storm here. Decent amount of lightning 

[TJS1998Tom]

60 miles away. Looks. Better. In person. Must be impressive to be right under it

[RobertH]

Anyoen else seeing the storms in the channel? I am in Devon atm and I may go to the coast! Possible good lightshow for a county that has missed almost everything this year! 

[SqueakheartLW]

Lightning maps has gone mental around my part of the world

This has also appeared just to the west of Scunthorpe too

Looks like I'm in for something here

Saw a few flickers from that Doncaster storm as well

[The PIT]

And to rub it lightning from the storms to north east of me.

[cheese]

 

 

 

[Schnee]

Just looked around here, too many houses and trees to see any distant lightning.

[The PIT]

If there wasn't so much cloud around elves and sprites maybe be visable

[Rufus Butterfield]

Lightning activity has picked up

[Liam Burge]

For those thinking they're gonna miss out in the SW, I believe most in somerset will see a massive thunderstorm roll through sometime between 2am and 3am. We can already see the start of it forming in the channel, and it's expected to merge together into a massive storm.
