Constant lightning now, clear skies are lighting up to the southwest, and I can see lightning flashing in the white clouds to the South.

Is that from that lot over Devon?

A belter. Darn autocorrect ridiculously envious, a continental style beast!

Neg. It's directly to my South, I can see clouds from the front bedroom.

I honestly didn't want a late one, as I wanted to get up early, but this is moving in quicker than I anticipated.

Can also confirm flashes to my south.

That sound must be travelling some distance.

Looks like another storm is heading up from France, slowly making it's way to the UK

I can see the sky lighting up to my South from here in  Marlborough - where's that coming from? It's not the Cornwall storm. I guess it's the random pops on the south coast...

You can pretty much see now how the storms are firing along the trough as it moves North. Just close that gap as you move up towards the W country please

I've just unplugged my all my Co2 equipment to my aquarium, exactly like last year.

I hope I can see some lightning before dawn breaks even if its miles away!

I think I may have imagined it lol, I added the boom just out of excitement, I do have a habit of getting a little over excited when a storm is coming 

[Allseasons-Si]
