    P.S. I did an experiment 25 years ago with my Amateur radio equipment. Back then I only had local press and TV news to confirm my findings, plus other radio operators. 20 Miles was about the max distance for a portable radio!

    20 miles if you tune to a blank frequency with no broadcast carrier signal. If you tune to a weak station you can hear strikes from where it's transmitting from, so best tune to a blank spot for local accuracy.

    Gonna stick my neck out now and predict the hotspot for tonight will be within a triangle from Maidstone to Chelmsford and West to Oxford, don't ask me why, just intuition!!

    My fish pond could do with a few inches of rainfall, tap water just isn't the best idea!

    Until now Essex has been dry as a bone!!

    Don't forget your MW radios peeps, there's a lot of strikes not shown on lightning detectors online, your average MW radio will detect local strikes up to 20 miles away. Just tune to a weak station and listen!! After a while you can also tell the difference between CG and IC strikes, CG's sound like a sudden crack and IC's crackle!!!

    It appears he may have left the building

    Cumulonimbus, classic storm cloud and your shot captures the Anvil (so called because of its shape) as it spreads outwards at the top, superb!
  9. Wet'n'Dry
    Wow that's a beauty!!
  10. Wet'n'Dry
    Seen 1 CG at a distance, mostly IC

    Where's Gordon? These storms are quite benign and for a storm hater could well be a tonic!!
  12. Wet'n'Dry
    How cool is that? It could well be partly what I can hear, but another observation just now and it looks like funnels are trying to form but nothing worthy of the name just yet!
  13. Wet'n'Dry
    Hail roar? Never heard of that but this is constant and definitely thunder! Also since my last post it's hardly got any nearer.
  14. Wet'n'Dry
    Ok thanks. In the meantime it sounds like a freight train in the distance, it's really going mental with continuous thunder
  15. Wet'n'Dry
    Constant thunder to my West and it's not moving too fast so expecting a deluge shortly. Strangely lightning maps isn't showing every strike!
  16. Wet'n'Dry
    You mean like this, I just snapped this, very odd!
  17. Wet'n'Dry
    I tried also, Mustard skies but the camera just can't reproduce it!
  18. Wet'n'Dry
    I'll try but there's a lot of clag surrounding what I can see. Look South east of your location, you may have a better viewpoint than me.
  19. Wet'n'Dry
    That's truly a lovely cloudscape!
  20. Wet'n'Dry
    I don't want to mention armageddon but if you could see what I can see and live NNE of my location I would be afraid, very afraid!!!
  21. Wet'n'Dry
    Runway 02 is looking just East of North (02 degrees east of magnetic north) Might see some action here later but for now any storms are further east of this viewpoint. Nice cam and quality though!
  22. Wet'n'Dry
    And the same to you
  23. Wet'n'Dry
    I was wondering the same, but watching that cell to the SW of Southampton it may well have us in its sights!
  24. Wet'n'Dry
    This is looking to be a Kent clipper, when it makes landfall it's going to go mental!!!
  25. Wet'n'Dry
    If that's towards Sittingbourne I can see it from here!
