Wow i said earlier potential for well scattered thunder showers then checked now and see that beast in the east. Im so envious already wishing for another plume...

Hopefully the next plume is only 10 days away or so. Have learned from this event about matching CZs and timings. Want another go - horrible we had the highest temps and no payoff ! 

[sparky1972]

wow, very unexpected but impressive, booming thunder, lightening and 19mm of rain inside 45 mins

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Oh no! The winds have changed to the east! YOU CANT DO THIS TO NORWICH!

[Joseph Hudson]

whats Portsmouth chances of a thunderstorm toinght 

[Chris101]

Wow, what the hell just happened, just when i think its a bust, lightning constantly flashing and undetectable rumbles of thunder because it was just boom after boom, and hail the size of £2 coins, i'm trying not to swear but that was ruddy amazing.

It's weakening quite significantly over Norfolk - south Suffolk and the far north-west corner of Norfolk/south-east corner of Lincolnshire are getting the worst (best?) of it.

Expect to hear reports of storm damage in north-central Suffolk, the cells continued to redevelop further south so that the southernmost cell was generally the most severe at any point in time, that would give a southeastward trend to the damage reports although cells continue to move more due east. Just north of Ipswich to southwest of Lowestoft looks to get the worst of this now.

Laughable ... Because I'll be driving back that way - hahhahaha

Being serious for a minute tho, the CZ does seem to be due a southern shift but not far enough to work for you, however there does appear to be a slither of cumulus cloud from IOW diagonally up toward south London if u look on Sat24.

you need to remember though, that at this time of the evening you'd be a fool to put too much faith in anything happening ;-)

Looks like it's ducking underneath you. I'm only going by blitzortung tho

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Heavens above, that Suffolk storm has gone into overdrive!! 

Not belgium or Holland for once, but east Anglia :D!  200+ strikes a minute

Yes, it is - I'm on LightningMaps.org, which (I think) use Blitzortung data.

I'm so gonna stamp my foot and pout my bottom lip in a minute at missing out on this.

Ok I'm off home. No more punishing myself. Lessons have been learned, lightning has been missed and photos remain untaken.

However, there are beers still to drink in the sunshine and joy to be had in the company of others... Stay safe!

I think can see it through my back window

This is a screenshot of driving earlier from my dashcam, of what I suspect to be the Suffolk monster. This was taken in Oxfordshire (a long way away, right?) but looking north-east.....there was towers all around this huge stretching anvil and mammatus under the anvil too. I could have taken some fantastic photos but didn't get a chance to stop. 

EDIT again: Taken in far-eastern Oxfordshire heading towards Thame.

Even the SE are getting some storms! I think the weather gods are mocking some of us storm starved!

East Anglia and south Lincolnshire are, but there are none on radar south of Suffolk - not really SE.
