Great crack of thunder here, went on for about 10 seconds! Seems to get ever closer to my location, going to be an interesting night!

Nice deep thunder just heard. Less frequent lightning but a lot brighter.

Cracking lightning show going on to the SW of me right now. Looking at the sferics it seems a distance from me yet (Chippenham, Wiltshire) but lighting up the night sky good and proper! Only hearing the odd very distant rumble of thunder so far.

Stood at my patio door watching the sky light up now and again. Can only just hear the rumbles of thunder.

And here comes the rain. Looks like it's about to pass overhead. Deep booming thunder now.

The flash I saw just then....!! Lit the whole sky up pink... This is an epic storm! And another... whole sky lit up. Amazing. 

 

I love a night storm. Shows off Mother Nature so well.

Temperatures still at 19c near Wolverhampton according to netweather extra v6! That is ridiculously warm for an October night.

 

I am still contemplating heading out towards Brum......

Great, great storm! The best lightning display for years, I counted over 20 flashes in just one minute at the height of it. Watched the anvil coming up from the south west and then loud booming thunder and even a close cg as it went through. The odd flash now.

Hmm, that depends if it can hold its strength. The fact it has managed to all the way from the Dorset coast to Wiltshire and Bristol area bodes well. 

 

Netweather lightning detector not showing that much lightning but reports are of several flashes a minute.

But those odd flashes are mighty ones at that! Getting the thunder going here now. Long, deep rumbles.

I can vouch for the several flashes a minute. I've been able to watch it for over 45 mins from where I am and it's only just passing over now. 

 

I'm no expert at predicting what storms are going to do next, I'll admit, but I hope that it lasts out so you can enjoy too!

From Ian, 8mins ago!

W COUNTRY Trajectory of storm will then cross fair part of Glos. Further showers follow from SW for many areas. Thundery element possible.

Good luck to y'all in the SE! As for my location, I just something happens with those small bunch of showers to the SE of Plymouth.

Edit:Something pepping up now to the SW of Plymouth!

Look at what happened to those showers!

I'm off to bed. That was awesome. Epic rain and some great lightning. Even a green sky.

 

Looks like more following on from behind possibly?
