Can see constant lightning still but nothing coming this way. So glad that the SE is getting storms widely we have been missing out for some time.

Saw a few distant flashes from that stuff out in Lyme Bay, earlier and more recently, and a couple faint atmospheric flashes from the East Dorset storms when I looked. Sadly that's as good as it's gunna get :(

Another good example of how the ATD always seems to become less accurate and misses lots of strikes at night:

Do half the detectors have to sleep or something?

Edit: radar removed shows it clearer.

Blitzortung often 'over-counts' but not that much. Just curious as I thought it was meant to be the 'gold standard' of UK lightning detection or at least very good.

IMG_3847.JPGThe best lightning show I've seen for over two years. This is something else.

Any webcams in the home-counties area (assuming the power is still on), just overcast and claggy here in the peaks for another few hours at least.

Northampton has grown a cell :) 

I thought I heard something but thought nah can't be, all the action is south. Just looked on the radar and that cell is about 5 miles to my west! Not a drop here though.

 So I'm still here, don't know why but I am. Pretty sure the cold front hasn't passed yet.

I am still out here and sat just outside Basingstoke where I have been for the past hour. Unbelievable thunder and lightning, bolts, shotgun thunder and torrential rain. This reminds me if the storms i remember as a kid! It's still going too. I am so happy, despite the fact I have to be at work tomorrow and will be so tired!!!
