Well I awoke at about 4am. More due to humidity than anything else. One bright flash that I was aware of even with my eyes closed. Apart from that just a few distant flickers and no thunder.

Typical . 10 miles away, near Sturminster Newton where my workshop is, flash flooding, lightning, thunder, apparently really extreme conditions. I received a phone call to say my unit is flooded so not sure what I'm going to find in the morning.... Here at home, near Sherborne, not even so much as spit of rain....

European Storm & Convective Discussion

Looking at my footage of todays storm, managed to snap a faint image of lightning. Need to look closely at the top of the pic though -
Well, having winged for most of the summer that all storms seem to miss us here in north Dorset / south Somerset, we've had 2 pretty epic storms, one yesterday and today. Both times for about an hour with plenty of cg lightning, shot gun thunder and rain of biblical proportions and flash flooding. Weird part is, it's been fairly chilly.
