It seems to be building to the eastern edge. Slowly, but surely

We're still getting frequent lightning to the north but there's nothing on the radar. Very odd indeed.

Could that be an elevated storm where ppn is not falling to the surface?

[Deep Channel low]

Some big flashes  but getting less and less as it comes round the corner, please don't die 

[Aiden2012]

Oohhhh it’s becoming constant

[MP-R]

A little evening fireworks in Zaragoza to whet the appetite. Not much rain and the storm typically split in two before hitting here but plenty of instability about and thunder heard.

Yeah, I think Dorset could be coming into the game; we've all seen many times how the easternmost flanks of these storms are able to tap into more energy and extend eastwards.

[Liam Burge]

Still looks game on for my location overnight. Definitely looks like it's trying to intensify to the east and die out on the westernmost part of the storm.

Hoping we see a thunderstorm tonight in Exeter, it seems to heading in this direction on the netweather radar, maybe midnight? I was sitting out in the garden with my friend late evening and could see distant flashes on the sky, I was surprised to see them from a storm over 100 miles away, can’t see any flashes at the moment.

Hoping for torrential rain and lightening tonight

Friend of mine seeing bright flashes of lightning in Selby

I'd say it's game on for you. Met office overnight guys in for a noisy one....

[Stamford Bobby]

I could see the flashes from that storm near Sheffield/Donny from Stamford near Peterborough. There are no other storms it could be to my north. Amazing!

Our Google weather forecast just got 5% added to the chances of precip overnight

Yep i could see lightning the other night from those cells that popped up over pembrokeshire, over 75 miles away.

[parhelion]

Lightning getting more frequent to the NNE of here. Lovely show! Occasional low rumbles heard.

Something is helping these cells initiate still... roughly in a line from Bridlington to Chester.

[philglossop]

First flash towards Wembury way I guess

[cheese]

The lightning is insane right now 

 

 

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

another active cell just formed south of York

 

 

[AndyFromDonny]

It's unbelievable, I don't recall ever seeing lightning as frequent as this here. Night storms are great for this as the thunder isn't particularly loud given it's not on top of me.

[TJS1998Tom]

Bright lightning flashes in Lincoln from that selby storm

[ChezWeather]

Just watching loads of distant flashes from that storm to the north of here 

[Marcus_surfer]

Perhaps direct hit for exeter?

Hope so, I’ll keep you all posted, should be here by midnight though I’m feeling tipsy which is making me feel sleepy. It’s another warm night, would he be happy for the rest of the month to be like this, this is like compensation for July and most of august

I don't care that there is no storm forecast for sussex tonight or tomorrow.

 

My all time favourite storm occurred in July 2014, which was completely unforecast.

 

I live in hope that something unexpected crops up lol
