Nice Lightning on portsmouth http://www.camscape.com/view/34670

Wow, looks as if its France haha. If only I was there now. Going back down there for a bit again in December (sigh)!

[Raidan]

Would be nice to see something thundery tonight but I think my chances are pretty slim.

[The PIT]

Nothing will happen hear though. Pity fire crews putting a carpet warehouse fire out close to me would like some heavy rain.

Big storm on the Isle of Wight

[Mark Neal.]

Big flashes of lightning been going for 25 mins now.

[TheToastPeople]

Nothing electrical reported from it though! :/

[Evening thunder]

Was seeing flashes west/SW of here, but seems to have stopped recently.

 

I'm hoping it's cloud in the way not the lightning activity died.

[Twinkletoes]

Big storm just went through, amazing lightening. Rain stopped winds gone. Distant rumbles. Is that it?

Southampton

[galacticwarrior]

Nothing here just yet.....looking hopeful though as the storms move in closer...

[wimblettben]

Can see quite a lot of lightning flashes to my southeast at the moment, and at times I can actually see the lightning stroke which is orange in colour.

 

I don't think I am in for a direct storm though.

 

I have to say it hasn't been that bad for lightning this year and its been far better then the last 6 years!

[slb97]

Amazing lightning here with heavy rain loving it!

[Mark Neal.]

Thats one heck of a squall line through Oxon into Berkshire and into Hampshire. Gonna reach here soon.Brief lull after heavy rain 1/2 an hour ago with persistant thunder and lightning. Exciting

[Luke Best]

Although we didn't quite cop a direct hit, watching the storm (still, over 50 miles away) is absolutely spectacular.  Lightning every couple of seconds and now getting a good show of anvil lightning!  One of the best storms I've experienced in a very, very long time!  Reckon the A3 corridor is about to cop it.

[galacticwarrior]

The heavens have opened! Lots and lots of rain and some thunder & lightning!

[tinybill]

immense squall line  heading  to southeast  could  cause  problems  soon

[Guest William Grimsley]

Loving the distant light show to the SE and SSE! I can see a flash about 1 per minute, here!

[poseidon]

Liking the slow eastward movement - long may it continue.

[tcc]

Can see lots of lightning from that line to my west.

[matty40s]

Looking distinctly dark in all directions here!

Yes, the sun set 2 hours ago....

 

 

 

Thunder just south of Watford Gap services, two vague flashes so far...

[tollgateiow]

Best storm of the year so far, frequent lightning striking the ground close by, moving off to the East now but lightning  and rumbles still going.
