Maybe it's the lightning detector, but the activity approaching Dorset seems to have died.

[daveywoo1977]

Looks like tomorrow will be the main event seems to be striking out abit in the channel. Hopefully we will get some sun in the morning to set it off

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Really kicking off again SE of Le Havre. Looks like it may be conducting into a MCS. Hopefully this will not leave too much mess tomorrow..

[Marcus_surfer]

Tomorrow looks extremely interesting for wales. With estofex rolling out a level 2 warning for South Wales.

Cheers Dale! I hate farting around with Youtube on a phone, very tedious. Links fixed on original post.

It's dying. Just not enough juice over the south at the moment

[Staffordshire]

Yeah it might be a good thing the channel is killing it off, just mentioned by EESC-91, don't want a lot of cloud around tomorrow.

It still really does amaze me though that the channel kills anything off yet the North sea enhances the storms.

[Dean E]

The Channel is either killing it again, or the system has just hit the Northern extent of the available energy...

[Nick123]

OMG window rumbling thunder....

[Dean E]

Seems to be picking itself up again around the IOW...

[boogercj]

Kicking off again to the S of the Isle!

[Dean E]

Yeah, visible lightning streaming across the sky now over the IOW

[Andy Pepler]

it's kind of cool, but I was just having a cheeky smoke and brew in the back garden looking south and every now and again I can the faintest flicker of lightning reflecting of the high cloud currently overhead....I'm in Lyneham Wilts which is 50 odd miles NNW of the IOW.....nice!

indeed its only a few lux above background light polloution and yet it can be seen   natures flash bulb

[Mapantz]

I doff my cap to the WeatherPro and Netatmo app, they both gave a risk of storms for the right times. The MetO and BBC app both gave medium level cloud.

The storms were surface based not elevated so the channel could kill them off, although they were transfered to more elevated as we go towards tomorrow morning.

The storms are now pretty elevated, so some rain will evaporate 

[Daniel*]

[Nick123]

Spoke to soon, here's the rain!

May be some positive lightening, the thunder is normally much louder and sounds more like an explosion than normal thunder, is that what you mean

[thunderhead 2005]

seems thats cells S/SE of IOW is pepping up.
