Quite a few strikes not registering on Lightning Maps, that's turned into quite an intense cell heading over the Forest now.

Just seen lightning to the west and it's gone very dark and eerie.

Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st August onwards

Had a few rumbles from the little storm that passed over here around an hour ago. Tried to chase but was defeated by the rush hour traffic. Did see a nice double rainbow though. -

A video I took from Saturday night of the insane rain and flash flooding (sorry for some of the language lol) I've been to Florida several times but Saturday night was probably the heaviest rain I've ever seen in my life. Combined with 4/5 hours of almost constant lightning it's made for a pretty decent start to the storm season! Feel sorry for the people who had their property damaged though. -

Wow, been out chasing the last few hours and just got back, honestly haven't seen anything like that before. After catching the original storm here at around 7ish, I then headed to Hayling Island to the sea front to see the storms that were a bit further east heading towards the mainland. Had a great light show out to sea with a few close strikes virtually overhead too. Then started heading back to Southampton after seeing there was more lightning activity headed for here. Plan was to get to Weston Shore but on getting into Southampton the heavens just opened and I've never seen such torrential rain, even in Florida. The roads were literally becoming rivers and several cars had got stranded in the floodwater, fire engines racing to the rescue, alarms going off, all while the lightning was flickering away overhead. Did get some video on my phone which I will try and upload at some point. Best storm for years even beating the overnight plume in July last year. Can't believe it's only April, tonight was a real treat but I hope everyone has stayed safe. -

Strikes on the IOW now. All looks to be taking a right turn and veering to the east of here so think I'm gonna have to jump in the car soon. -

All very cloudy and disappointing here, although still feeling quite humid. -
Yes sadly looks like the end of it now, but what an epic few days it's been even surpassing what we got two weeks ago. March 2018 will be remembered forever more in here. It actually feels normal now looking out the window and seeing several inches of lying snow! Next winter has a lot to live up to.
