Yes Nathan, if that main body doesn't track too far east, this is going to be bigger than Wednesday....I'll probably be wrong...

And we're lost power!

A nice little storm passed through Central London around midnight, lots of lightning but not a great deal of rain, and certainly no hail.


I am home now and its quite a murky night, the storms have cleared leaving the temperature at 17.7°c, and the humidity at 96%.


Ha'way the lads

Great lightning show from west here in Stoke but that big cell weakened a tad as it approached and has now intensfied again. We had about 5 mins of constant lightning and thunder but it could have been SO much better.

Uttoexeter got slammed again like last July.

Fascinating to see what happens to storms approaching York - here we have east wind and sea fog at 12C - will it kill them off?
Not completely I suspect.

Well that was impressive. Almost an hour of fairly continuous flickering lightning and booming thunder, with intermittent bouts of torrential rain. It has now moved off to the north.


The most intense action appeared to be to my west, and most of the lightning appeared to be deep in the clouds so I didn't see that many naked sparks, but maybe I'm being picky.

Wow 


 


One of the best storms I've ever seen, constant lightning in all directions and some very close Cg strike's at it's peek.

Just dying down here in Sheffield. About 4 strikes per minute visible now. Rain not as heavy as the radar would suggest, only a short period of torrential. As Robn says, most activity up in the cloud so no actual sparks seen as yet but it's still going on so there's hope yet...

Still getting lightning crawling across the sky into Glossop from the stuff over Holmefirth way.

About 3 or 4 intense long lasting flashes per minute at the moment. What a week this has been.

What a fantastic night! Just like summer storms should be. Loads of lightning, but all in the clouds rather than cloud-to-ground.

Well, it did lose some of its oomph by the time it reached here - definitely not constant lightning - but still frequent at around every 7 seconds, very bright too, with loud thunder and 16mm of rain. Saw some CG strikes too.

All in all, very good. Waited long enough.

Morning all. Well that was quite a night wasn't it? Almost the perfect storms. Spectacularly angry light shows with tropical rain intensities at their core, but moving through obligingly quickly so you could get some sleep, and widespread so most of us it seems could join the party. Happy weather bunny this morning as another hot and steamy day dawns here 🙂

Everything formed over the downs to the north and east and wes of here. We had a little distant thunder and lightning and 1mm of rain
You couldn't make it up. Run the sequence overnight and we were in that little gap in the SE

We were in a gap between the storms here in Folkestone but it didn't stop me viewing some spectacular lightning all points west, east and north of here. I decided to go and chase the East Kent storm at 23.10hrs and got close to it at St. Margarets at Cliffe at 23.35hrs. What was interesting was an area of road for about 500 metres in St Margarets that was steaming, suggesting a recent fall of hail in that particular area.


The most notable thing for me was the temperature rise at the peak of the plume at 1am afterthe storms moved through. The temperature climbed to 24.6c at one point with a dewpoint briefly of 19.6c !

It should be noted that NWx and some other forecasters saw the risk in the SE last night where some ppn models (Euro4 and WRF) and broadcast agencies failed. The BBC did not include the SE in storm risk.
Credit where credit is due IMO

Only heard one rumble of thunder during the night but it`s been wet and windy, and still is.
