Hi yes there is sound on it but switched off currently. Will turn on tomorrow. Cam has been down for half hour or so due to close lightning strike hitting power off but back up and running now. The cam is facing North so should be picking up the storm cell now there.

I feel like I've missed out on a lot of active storms this year, but given that there's been a lot more of them overall than in most recent years, I guess that makes a lot of sense!

Crossing my fingers for tomorrow but it does look like a game of pot luck.

the strike are so close are u enjoing or a bit scared  . Gibby is that your house in the cam. take care

A massive area across Europe has warnings for tomorrow and the UK has one too.

The main emphasis is on excessive rainfall here. It's also a highly uncertain outlook due to multiple mesoscale systems and no surefire way of predicting the cloud amounts and distribution tomorrow.

The scale of this plume event is something to behold. If this was high summer we'd be chasing records I reckon!

thank you . Gibby i only see one cottage in the cam .

Indeed there was Ian. It was nothing spectacular but there were a fair few flashes. The thunder wasn't too disturbing as it all seemed very high based stuff. The rainfall in a 5 minute period between 3.00-3.05hrs was noteworthy however with many stations locally picking up 5-6mm in that short period. 

Just come home from working the night shift and have to add to the talk of last nights storms we had here, was by far the best I've seen in years, almost constant thunder and lightning that lasted for some time, and rain that was torrential which turned the works carpark into a lake, brilliant brilliant stuff. Normally I'd say it would feel quite a bit fresher after a storm like that but overnight and this morning it is quite warm and very humid at 97%. You can almost feel the atmosphere getting ready for another bout, I most certainly hope so.

Some rumbles to the south this morning from an active cell over Bournemouth that had been boosted by convergence onshore.

That has since died a quick death, going from dozens of strikes per minute to zero in the space of 15 minutes or so.

Never mind, hopefully some sun will come through soon and surface heating can help out the next batch of activity currently across N. France.

Overnight storms here have amassed over 20mm of rain since 8pm last night. This has been the third bout of overnight thunder and lightning this summer all of it vivid and spectacular and I wouldn't discount some around these parts again today as well.

Lovely show lastnigh/This morning.  Only 12mm of rain for me in Peasedown St John.

My thunder brother strikes again I see.

We had a storm in the last hour - none of the thunder was close, no lightning seen, but the rain was quite intense.

There may have been something in the night as well but I slept through it.

Storm developing just north of central London.

Was jsut about to say the same ! getting very dark here too

  

Taken soon after 15:00 looking north.
