This is confusing, haven't seen any other suggestion of storms in the south this afternoon.. is this meant to be issued for tomorrow instead?
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1473807600®ionName=swLooks much more like what's expected tomorrow.
*Edit: it's gone again so maybe they're changing it!As for yesterday's forecasts the one I saw that correctly mentioned the thunderstorms here was from Carol Kirckwood on Breakfast
they later updated and said chnged due to error and something about meant for thurs not weds

What's the track of this? could I get any
i use this to track stuff http://www.null/radar/
but it doesnt show every lightning strike so the one to watch for that is lightningmaps.org
netweather have a radar but it doesnt zoom in as much as the link above
-
more stuff heading my way just started up east of iow and west of iow. hail only lasted about a minute.
-
OMG the power just went off and then back on immediately... dont know if it was lightning but it really scared me, coz it was a huge flash as everything went off now we have hailstones
-
lightningmaps shows a storm over boldre which is only a few miles from me
rumbles are louder here but no actual storm on us yet -

The Bournemouth cam now isn't working. Maybe thanks to the storm down there?
can hear it 20miles east of there so it must be a massive one

Good stuff further south-west of here. I am currently sat to the SW of Stoke awaiting what is going to happen to the two storms rumbling away down south.
rumbling in my part and its getting louder, its a good 15miles away and heading away from me which is odd, just wonder if maybe radar hasnt picked it up and its closer than i think
-
couple of storms around christchurch bournemouth area
rumbling getting louder here in lymington -
Just now, matt111 said:
Yes noticed it looks like just missing us. Can hear louder and more frequent rumbles now though so maybe you can hear it.
omg just went out, it is thunder its not the glass collection... eek, its quite frequent too, you get a rumble then quiet for maybe half a min to a min then more close together

Dark to my south west. Can hear occasional rumbles.
are you watching radar? storm probably going to hit Poole area, thought i heard a rumble but its probably not, got the glass collection going around nearby here so its probably that

Don't worry I think you'll be able to see it in the distance but it will be too far west of you for any thunder or lightning.
clear skies today should mean you get a chance of some good views of the thunderhead in the distance tho.
i'm stuck in east London so my only hope is some late night horizon flashes and possibly anvil crawlers if it gets that far.
supposed to be a clear night, some risk tomorrow and thurs around south and south west, not sure about se i can see it getting darker out to south and west, so far it seems they are moving, they were heading right for me then changed slightly to north west direction, hoping it stays well away from here. forecast shows a lot of energy out there
-
i am on the south coast right by the north western corner of the isle of wight, watching radar closely, hoping not to get anything here
