Lightning going on here now too. Seen one big flash across the sky with a lot of frequent small ones as well. Light rain coming on for about 10 seconds at a time before going off again. Would be good if we can get thunder and lightning with that cluster of heavy rain,

Lights probably going to go out here soon, insane lightning and gunshot thunder

 

edit: lights flickering rapidly, this is absolutely mental

Chilling outside with laptop and a beer, currently 23ºc according to thermometer i've sat on the table ! flat calm in centre of Inverness, is it worth staying up a bit I wonder, shower cells moving North - will anything reach?

Well you've been waiting all day and here it comes some severe stuff embedded in there I'd imagine.

pretty frequent lightning for 5 or 10 minutes but moving off north now. Fife looks like a good spot going by the radar...

Yup, Been going on for over an hour here, mostly over the Forth. Thunder isn't that loud though, even with the close ones.

Been raining for a while now. That was more than I was expecting.

Was trying to upload a video of the storm but it's not working

Rain drops splatting on the parasol I'm sitting under... but that looks like that's all the action there's going to be in the near future! Think I'll go to bed, probably sleep through anything interesting now! lol!

 

[edit]

 

There's a slight inversion taking shape on CairnGorm, it's 1ºc warmer at 2500ft than it is at Loch Morlich and the humidity is 15% lower at 2500ft as well. 19ºc at 2500ft and 18ºc at Loch Morlich at 1050ish ft.

Right that's it, I getting a divorce! Wife just asked "did you see the thunderstorm last night? It was amazing". No I bloody didn't, I was asleep in bed and she didn't wake me up. Loads of lightning but not much thunder apparently, rain and wind gusts included too.

One small silver lining for you, I properly laughed at this when I read this. It sounds like my wife in winter time when she kept taking the dog up to the woods for a walk when I was working and then she'd text me to say "You should see the snow up here.....". If you find a good divorce lawyer pass on the details :rofl:

 

Edit: Seems like we slept through it all down here too....oooops :)

Well it's been a while now but I lived in Orlando for nearly 3yrs so I've seen more than my fair share of amazing lightning shows.

Temp is 20c here already this morning and it looks like we're in line to be the warmest area today thanks to a change in wind direction. Foehn effect no doubt. If I'm reading my weather station correctly RH of 91% too.

So, who's got a bad dose o' sunburn then? Not me! So much for a heatwave, all we had was light cloud, strong breezes ( aye OK, at least it kept the midges at bay! ) but admitedly it was and still is a good deal warmer than it has been of late.Currently 19.3c, murky and calm so we will be breakfast for the aforementioned midges. So, that was it, was it? Any chance we may see some summer yet up oor way? Apparently there were some thunderstorms yesterday on Skye, not where I live, but it rained overnight. Surprise!

Some cracking photos of the storm I slept through last night on this BBC story...

I particularly like the 4th one down of multiple strikes near Edinburgh taken by Kit Carruthers. That's got to be a long exposure though surely, with the strikes being over a close period but not simultaneous.

 

Temp up to 24C here now but thankfully there's a breeze, which is making the office bearable with the windows and doors open.

Reasonably humid today, 18.8c.

Feeling not too cold after yesterday.

Very cloudy though. Dew point of 15.6c and humidity of 85% so hence the warmer feel.

Would rather have the 24c Ravelin is reporting but could be worse.

Winter looks set to return later next week for the far north so I'll stop complaining, although the SE will see summer continue which hasn't really got going here.

Still plenty time I suppose and there has been many worse summers in recent memory a la 2007 and 2012
