The Blaak cam is great - the lightning is really highlighting the structure now! And if that ain't a supercell I'm a Dutchman hahahahaha

I'm not being a killjoy, but there is a dedicated thread for the European convection/storms. Keeping them separated makes for less cluttering, particularly when it's busy.

I am pleased to have something to report for once. Went up onto the Hogs Back, just south of Guildford and watched the IOW cell moving N.E. Although the main activity was to the S.E. (work colleague reported very heavy rain at Loxwood, West Sussex), get a couple of reasonable photos including the dual discharges at 10:21 pm. 

The first lightning was at 9:59 pm and first thunder was at 10:07 pm when approaching the Hogs Back. Much lightning to south and S.E. in next 20 minutes. Closer discharge at 10:30 pm with quite loud thunder (about a mile away). Spots of rain at 10:25 pm then moderate to heavy shower at 10:30 pm to 10:45 pm.

Lightning receding to N.E. with last distant thunder heard at 10;55 pm. There was clear sky to the north with red-hued contrails, altocumulus and 'chaotic sky' during this whole event.

On arriving home from the bike ride, about 2 mm rain had fallen.

Further thunder at 11:58 pm then 12:05 am, 12:11 am and 12:32 am. Periods of moderate rain after 11:45 pm with some very heavy rain just arrived around 12:37 am. Total stands at about 10 mm (12:45 am) 

A BIKE ride, in a thunderstorm?! Are you sure that's wise.

Heard about four distant rumbles here in Basingstoke maybe 25-30 mins ago. Nothing since, very localised. I'm turning in for the night, busy day tomorrow. Best of luck SE storm fans.

In the edit box you type in to reply, you should see a 'choose files'  hyperlink just below it. Click it, and it'll open up an action box, then just navigate to the folder where your pictures are. If you click one, it'll start uploading, when it has finished, click the + icon that shows in the uploaded picture, it will place it inline within the edit box.

Much obliged, I will try that later cheers.

I can't make anything out.

Can anyone else hear the Jurrasic Park style thunder booms in London? It's eery, and to add just seen lightning on a track of 260/255* from Central London.

 

I think T-StormRex is angry...
