The storm is rapidly moving away to our north now. Any forumers reading this from Nuneaton, Atherstone, Tamworth - you're in for a real treat!

 

Great stuff.

Been constant lightning, rain and thunder now for an hour straight, fantastic storm real glad I stayed up to watch.

[Costa Del Fal]

So much lightning still. Really nice to watch now.

[snowangel32]

Eased off here now i honestly cant remember so many lighting strikes in a short space of time. It was well worth the wait though.

Oops spoke too soon just heard some more rumbles could there be an encore.

More lightning, incredible. Feeling fresher though.

Just need the storms over South Wales to become a bit more widespread and supercellular in nature. Hold strong and head NE.

[Convection currents]

Loads of lightning constantly flashing in the distance and the distant rumbles of thunder here.  Been like this for a while....

[Costa Del Fal]

Can hear thunder again now and lightning becoming more frequent again.

[Bishop Brennan]

I was about to clock in for the night, but we appear to have an encore heading in from the south. Not as intense, but still pretty to watch.

Any CG lightening?

All I can see is sheet, but it's literally every 5-7 seconds!!! Fantastic!

[Costa Del Fal]

Just watching a plane head into the zone of lightning....

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Just watching a plane head into the zone of lightning....

Haha! Ive just watched the exact same plane thinking how awesome it must be from their vantage point!

[Gord]

So where am I hearing this new thunder from then? Can't tell from the radar or lightning detectors. Is it just the stuff to the east skimming by a bit closer?

Loud thunder?

[Costa Del Fal]

Thunder returning.

Haha! Ive just watched the exact same plane thinking how awesome it must be from their vantage point!

Flight radar 24 says they have just come from Malaga. Nice view though not quite sure I would want to be in a plane around such frequent lightning to be honest! Lol.

[Bishop Brennan]

Awesome light show out to my east - Coventry must be getting slammed right now.

I can hear it too. At a bit of a loss too. Hopefully next radar update will reveal all.

 

Edit: On the last radar frame, the stuff to our east has got a bit fatter and has come a bit closer...also, theres the signs of something building to our west. It's one of them anyway!

 

And the little storms to our southwest continue to march towards us.

Literally the biggest storm I've seen. Gotta be up at 6.30 - may as well pull an all nighter now

It's got to be something new developing...surely?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

[fazer76]

A few strikes approaching Nantes now. C'mon!
