the pics above are looking south/south east towards Salisbury...this storm is about 10-15 miles away with plenty of deep booming rumbles, but it is moving quickly to the NW

yes can see it from the other side to my north east

Was it a CG? The same site showed one approx. 500m from me at lunchtime and that had stonking shotgun thunder!

More electrically active cells appearing in the central areas and a particularly intensive one which will hopefully cross the channel in time for dusk. If that survives for long enough it would be a fantastic sight

These storms are still nothing to write home about. Who thinks we could get one of these massive 100-200+ srikes/min storm later??

If one develops within a 100 miles from me I will definatly chase.

Incredibly hot here (Windsor atm). If we had the forcing it would be awesome

Great to read and see the pics of the storms today folks - some very moody skies out there!  

 

On another note can anyone shed any light on this weather warning up this way (NE and Scotland) from the Met O?  All of the predictions appeared to favour a western and southern affair so I'm at a loss as to why these are out until 11pm tonight?

Lightning activity is consistently dropping as any storm passes north of the Midlands.

Strange isn't it, was all meant to converge around NW England from what (admittedly little) I've seen today. Literally as soon as the precipitation reaches N Shrops/Cheshire it dies a death. One storm did initiate around Stoke though and push up into the E of Manchester.
