Latest BBC forecast on News24 much more hopeful for thunderstorms with Chris Fawkes really ramping up the severity of them.

That was an impressive storm!! Moved off up the Isles now but the lightning of all kinds was incredible! More cells forming behind.

Usually, it downloads the file when clicking it, but that didn't work.

Well I'm off too bed now and its a case of seeing if any lightning flashes/thunder will in the end wake me up and if not, find out how and why it went wrong, radar is picking up a tad but it still looks a little ordinary when you compared to the stuff that is about to hit the Western Isles and even the more isolated cells across parts of Western Scotland.

the storm is going crazy at the moment I think there must be 20 lightning bolts a minute illuminating the anvil of the storm cloud

Yes west wales starting to pep up now, it's within 60 miles range of me, so worth a walk outside to see if I can see anything from my hill.

Over the Irish Sea definitely building in size, lightning activity and most active furthest east, definitely a multi-cell I'd say.

I'm counting roughly 30 strikes per minute! Must be spectacular underneath it.

Here's a video:

Yeah it'll probably take 30-45 minutes for the storm to reach Holyhead and by then if it all weakens I'd be amazed!

Even then it'll probably begin to back build too, I can see this storm lasting several hours now given the conditions that it's in.

It's amazing how little the lightning detectors pick up... There was a point where it was showing 5 strikes in the space of 10 minutes for the thunderstorm north of here, whereas in actual fact it had produced around 300 strikes in this time!
