Gonna have to settle for distant lightning lighting up clouds to the East. Cant imagine anything happening in the west now.

Bristol and Wiltshire people looking south caught some nice IC lightning!

 

Still a couple heading our way if we are lucky might get something, but we really are on knife edge.

I'm sure it'll take on a more easterly element later. I even think we'll be too far west for it here. Hope I'm wrong though!

 

hope it goes more east before it reaches me

Thunder and lighting to my north, SE and SW. Don't know where to look!!

 

 

Strangely the first cell that went over here that produced a few flashes and rumbles produced very little rain despite radar showing reds over my house, must be evaporating a lot?

 

I came in 15 minutes ago, had a massive IC lightning and heavy rain.  Now lots of flashes to the south and south east of SE17 (Elephant & Castle) - all of this is home grown, so the cap is well and truly broken.   I've always said there's something magical when this setup is perfect, the south downs and London produce something special.

We've got torrential rain ATM but not convective. Going to bed with my laptop setup for any developments.
