Most manic storm episode I've seen for ages, started off in the distance then boy it cranked up alright! Fab stuff. Great to see and hear, here's to more.

Ground shaking window rattling stuff, that's just the thunder. Rivers of water too. Fab CGs almost constant for ten minutes.

Holy sheet that was good. Massive deluge and about a dozen close strikes. Eased off a bit now.

Incredible ten fifteen minutes worth then quite spectacular! Absolute deluge and ear splitting thunder. Some very very close strikes! More like it alright.

Awesome multiple CGs raining down.

Forget streams further afield we have an electrical storm alright. Can only get better. Awaiting a deluge of rain later.

Lightning and thunder becoming more frequent.

This could be a classic, storms migrating northwards and expanding. Wind almost constant?

We have supercellular activity towards our far south, wind is manic out there has to be said! A warm one at that.

Any updates on Bournemouth LOL

Be a brave call to write off tonight, in terms of thunderstorms anyway. Long over due a decent electrical storm so everything crossed.

Lovely clearance bye bye cloud and showers.

Should make the Arctic circle by dawn.

Good little shower that. Certainly bought out the slugs and snails. May get crunchie underfoot later.

Can't believe there wasn't a single profanity heard...holes in the lawn? Some storm that. We won't know until dare I say tomorrow pm.

Why is it that storms will track northwards all the way up from the eastern Channel across the entire length of the North Sea and beyond but as soon as any form in the west over W France they often peter out and turn into mush? Today is one example LOL.

Looks like it, cheers.

Lightning just south of MK.

Storm lovers in Norway must be rubbing their mitts with glee! North Sea lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. Good soaker passing through, quite refreshing truth be known. Thunder? Haha!

There'd still be someone who'd complain lol...hailstones too small gunshot thunder not loud enough :-)

Here's to more widespread thunderstorms tomorrow evening and on. Nudging back towards 80F in old pence too. Better chance for those who have missed out so far, hopefully they'll materialise overnight to make it that bit more dramatic.

Yes many central southern areas missed out. Storms erupted just north of the patch and well we all know what happened next. Friday pm has every chance of being quite nasty in places. From an IMBY point of view would prefer to see mega storms develop or arrive in the Bristol Avon area before trundling NNE. Local hail, frequent lighting and torrential rain a distinct possibility again. Where and when remains the million dollar question as nowcasting is the more sensible option for those who's expectations can sometimes outweigh the reality lol. For the record, yesterday was a bust so all eyes for the next possible thundery episode.

Also worth pointing out, mozzies aren't too keen on moving air or the effect of a fan in a room the benefits are two fold.

Frustrations aside there's always later today! Remember be respectful to those who hear/see/smell supercells. Next time it could be you. Nuff said. Or the odd MCS.

Many share your frustration Monsieur cheese, nice to keep it one tidy thread yes? I remember when they were two a penny.
