you should be able to see flashes at that distance, unless you live in a built up area.Come on you beauties, I would love a decent night storm!

Thunder and flash of lightning!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

It's been going an hour and 15 minutes now ... That siad the good middle chunk of it was nothing but heavy rain but I think as im on the back half now its picking up again.

Kaddy not keen for many (or any) of those showers and thunderstorms reaching here, but didnt rule it out completely. Very warm still with a nice breeze and some quite robust looking cloud way off to my WSW...whether that's the Hants cell or not I can't tell...No green eyes here...none whatsoever, nope, none...

[shaky]

Anything in the midlands?

[Grazy2266]

Woohoo i can confirm lightning in Aylesbury 

[A.J]

allo? ....couple of bright flashes and rumbles of the good stuff!

[chris55]

Few good CG's & very deep rumbles just to the north of RAF Benson now... Didn't really expect anything tonight but this group of cells seems to be getting quite potent... Lightning Maps is pretty accurate too by the looks of things!

[Evening thunder]

Just saw a flash out the corner of my eye for it to ping up on lightning maps a second later west of High Wycombe/SE of Oxford  

[nicknacknoo]

More lightning in the last hour then in total for the last 3 weeks

Just saw a couple of faint flashes to my west here in Herne Hill (SE24). I guess that was from the Oxford cell.

Same but rumble getting closer after the flash

[Norfolk Sheep]

I'm just turning the lounge lights on and off, I do like to show willing.....

I knew the Look East forecast this morning was a load of pants!

[Allezwasps.]

Here in the bracknell dust bowl the storm shield is holding firm. Lol.

[alibabba]

Well nothing here in storm deprived lincolnshire tonight ;-) maybe get something later I hope

[A.J]

2 new cells popped up, one to the SE of Calne kicking out lightning every 20 seconds or so, and another to my NW near Malmesbury/Cirencester just starting to kick out visible lightning

[Grazy2266]

Yep I can see it now, there is lightning about 8 miles away now in Thame, pretty regular too

[Mesoscale]

I am looking in that direction but I have not seen a flash yet.

[Cyclonic]

Plenty of lightning, sat up culver cliffs with group of guys getting lightning shots, there is a cool breeze in the last 20mins, many lightning strikes from clouds going up, and loads of CGs

[> mark]

Oooooo, a few flashes to the W-N-W of Marlow now, could the Chiltern Hills Shield be caught unaware!!

I got flashes that way and toward melksham lol

[Darren Bown]

Metoffice seemed to specifically mention that the storms would 'get going' into the overnight period. Enjoy those in C/S England as it'll be good!

[A.J]

cold front destabilizing the humid air mass ahead of it readily......could be quite noisy for some tonight M4 corridor and SEwards

 

 

currently watching distant lightning from 3 separate cells
