[Harry]

Sitting outside and think I am getting savaged by mosquitoes - so joggers and hoodie now both on! 

[Freeze]

Decent little storm this, can't wait for it to get closer!

Lightning increasing again 

[Azazel]

Okay. Violent now 

[Bolt From Blue]

Just like that things have come to life very close, time to watch the show.

Chailey is at Eastbourne currently, structure looking fab!

[TJS1998Tom]

Feels good to have a day off tomorrow so I can just radar watch, West of London should be in for a treat soon

Thunder in stevenage Herts reds developed out of nowhere. Home grown.

Flash observed to the south of me in Needham Market

Sounds like I’ve got a little garden mouse to keep me company too

Still seeing plenty of flashes but nothing stand out yet and certainly too far away for any thunder to be heard.

[matt111]

Not sure the views the best but I've finally managed to get this to work.

Rolling in now.

Constant thunder and strobe lightning

Good to see the central south finally getting some action....I think that means now my part of Cheshire is probably the worst performing area this year for storms. We had a brief 10 min thundery shower and that was it in the last 3 years.

I can’t remember the last time we saw a storm like this. Constant lightning (and now thunder) for nearly 45 minutes now. And now the rain has started…

[StormLoser]

I have distant lightning and thunder now, pretty much continuous to the south of Reigate.  Seems like the 'Corridor' has closed and I'm going to get some action.

The Brighton Marina webcam is going nuts

I hope so, the bits and pieces over us so far seem to get much more energy after they head north east!

[poseidon]

Storms around here picked up very rapidly, but seem to have suddenly died.

[TJS1998Tom]

Typical though we've had all Summer without hardly any imports from the channel but they happen right at the end of Summer

[Lauren]

Think this is going to skirt to the West of me, sadly.

Best storms in my experience happen around the changing seasons - spring into summer or summer into autumn - the clashing of cooler/drier air against the hot and humid air bit like you see in the US - the strongest storms typically taking place around spring and again in autumn

Tried to use night mode to show you what's going on here.
