The grey grot has finally cleared allowing some really beautiful skies to emerge here. Some great pics from other areas on here, good to see.

God I love evenings like this.  It's warm, still and I've just seen a 180 degree rainbow to my SE against a dark sky and one very long, very low, deep rumble of thunder.  Love it!

It's looking rather... yellow outside... :0

 

 

In the olden days, yellow was always good. Always got a right raving storm. Not that I want to jinx it.

Would be terrifying!

I'd actually quite like to be flying across the channel. I've seen some amazing storms out there from up there!

Can see the tops of those storms I'm sure approaching Hampshire and can clearly see the ones over Kent :O must be quite a height to these. 

Given that it's a clear night, I should see some distant night lightning :) !!

Thunderstorm here in Eastbourne wasn't particularly spectacular and didn't give much rain...still very welcome of course :D A few cloud to cloud forks with long deep rumbles. Hopefully later will provide something a bit juicer. Clouds have been amazing mind.

Airmass imagery clearly shows storms firing all the way from northern Spain NE to Belgium along the western edge of the high theta-e plume

cloud tops from these storms reaching 200mb!

second wave of storms south of Hants and Dorset seem to be expanding in coverage, could be an MCS forming ...

UPDATE 18:43 UTC Current highly-sheared thunderstorms across the English Channel continue to move NE-wards. It then seems likely the flow will back a little through the evening, with a new round of thunderstorms expected to grow into an MCS late evening into the early hours and affect a more wider area, potentially followed by another area of showery rain (with perhaps less lightning activity due to exhaustion of instability by preceding storm clusters) late in the night into Thursday morning. Have extended SLGT farther W to cater for backing flow later this evening (although still some inevitable uncertainty as to true westward extent of thunderstorms). MDT left untouched at this update, although some guidance would suggest a slight westward shift/extension may be required.

MCS - stands for Murky Conditions Standard :rofl:

I've got tops, and that lovely yellow sky, it's very very still here tho... It's the deep breath before the plunge. I was on a cross channel ferry three days ago annoyingly enough..
