Very heavy rain with occasional lightning. Not the intensity of strikes as last night, but rain is biblical.

Area of storms leaving the Brest Peninsula - Looks promising for the SE

From the lack of reports in this thread tonight I take it tonight's storms are a damp squib.

---

Fixed that for you.

---

Still early days for these storms. Its after midnight they really start to get going (though they already across parts of north east England).

 

 i feel the same but i think the storms will arrive later tonight and  the morning depends where u are.

After the earlier fun and games, looks like a good old fashioned convective mess is developing for the overnight period. Periods of heavy thundery rain in MetO speak, minus the thunder.

---

Just had a deep rumble here but saw no lightning, but then my curtains were closed.

---

Forecast for storm around. The radar looks busy in patches. Quite sticky here.

---

Low and behold, the NAE does what it always does and completely downgrades the risk for south east England at the last minute - http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=rsum&HH=24&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD=

Okay.. nothing else. Definitely a fleeting affair.

---

You can see its not happening here. Split South and Niorth leaving the South East alone.

---

Mmmmm, maybe the echoes heading North across the channel may get here?

---

Definite North South alignment taking place. Maybe in about am hour we may see spots of rain. Not sure I have enough wine to keep going till then!!!!

---

lightling showing up at the bay of biscay may just maybe depends how and if they move this way

Think for the south east the main risk is stuff coming up from France reather than "home grown" stuff.

NMM model is much better than the NAE for us.

radar is showing rain or showers coming on shore near brighton dry so far no lightling .

NMM model has 76mm of rain for East Kent by the end of Sunday.

at last lightling strikes showing up over normandy getting closer but still can go belly up

Well, so far nowt in Leicester, barely any rain either, even when the radar said it was raining!!! A late down grade?
Or wkll it be brekkie time? Off to bed now as the tinnies have been exhausted!!!!
VSC

Sferics over Peterborough....

Localised storm over Chichester this morning - only one clap of thunder to go with some heavy rain though

[Edit] Pepping up after a lull; two more thunderclaps in the last couple of minutes

---

Heavy rain, max rr/hr 47.2mm

---

A let down with just light rain!

---

Seems that the Folkestone Shield is being as effective as ever as it's actually brightening up here at the Harbour area, but apparently it's chucking it down over Dover - only six miles to my east.
