And after going out and giving it a good shake to dislodge any water (the transmitter for the thermometer, that is), I've now got data coming in again. Phew, I thought that storm was going to cost me the best part of £250!

---

Phew! Yes, further south in Kent, I woke up around 1.45 to the sound of torrential rain and thunder. 7-8 flashes/min on average I would say, An unexpected bonus!

---

Either I was that fast asleep last night (which was surprising, considering) or it actually missed the harbour area but I've not seen or heard anything and there are no reports from anyone living local to me on my Facebook. Also, the rain gauge still reads 0.0 mm.

---

Decent enough here yesterday evening. Frequent distant lightning eventually led to sevaral good claps of thunder and a spell of heavy rain between 2300-2300z. All the activity remained to the S & E but it was good to see after the complete bust earlier in the day

Thunder and a downpour at the moment.

---

Thunder broke out yet again here in Radstock. We are really doing well out of this spell. This afternoon has echoes of last Monday afternoon with this classic summer convergence line right over us again today.

---

Can see the cell from here Martin, looks quite impressive from my side on view , you certainly have had the lions share of these storms lately, they seem to line up nicely over your way. Still nice and sunny here and getting quite warm in the sun.

Things are changing quite quick here, it's now raining and can hear thunder getting closer.

Yet another roll of thunder...

---

And another ART, seems to be right over you at the mo, I can see the lightning now, not far away and getting closer.

Should be above you now Jimc..With a bit more to come.

---

Very heavy rain and frequent lightning, the rain is horrendous.

STILL AT IT.. Though the rain not so heavy here.Just the thunder.

---

Just gone through another  big thunderstorm here. The main core passed just to the South of me this time over Jim's patch at Frome. Nevertheless, gave me a good view of some impressive cloud to ground strokes plus intercloud ones too with some decent thunder too with one explosive clap. Rain from these here though has not been the issue though so far today.

---

Yes Martin right overhead here, the rain is too heavy to get out and see anything right now, I would think Frome town center is a flooded mess at the moment, frequent thunder and lightning still above but I can see a gap getting closer and the sky getting lighter.

Red mark on map now reaching as far as Buckland Dinham..Following it on Wundermap ...

---

Quite quiet on here today. Are we the only ones enjoying these big storms.

---

It is rather quiet, these storms look as though they are intensifying as the move along so I'm sure we'll hear reports later.

Easing off here now, that was some storm I must say, I did see some forked lightning a moment ago now the rain is lighter, 18mm fell from that one.

Oh dear, the wife is the Fromes Westway Center manager and her phone is starting to ring with reports of flooding in the shops, looks as though I'll be doing a bit of chauffeuring in a while.

The line of cloud stretches  up from Cornwall to past Gloucester...

---

heard some thunder but was in the distance dry here but my missus has had rain in martock dont know if any more is on the way.

Looking at raintoday we might be in for a repeat performance a little while.

Stretches to Luton at the moment...

---

I really love these WSW flows in showery air in summer. They often give us our most impressive storms of the year fed by opposing sea breezes from both the South and North Coasts of SW England.

The next one is already moving across the Mendip Plateau towards Chilcompton, Stratton On the Fosse. i don't think this one is electrified yet but I don't think it will be long.

---

Very heavy rain started again, the wifes phone hasn't stopped ringing with reports of flash flooding.

It has been a good storm train....
