Well I have to say, even though the lightning is pretty infrequent, it it very spectacular

[sunnijim]

Pretty impressive since 10pm on the SE coast.some stunning fork lightning, reasonable rumbles,nothing overhead so far.frequency of lightning best between 1030 and 1130. 5/10 so far

Heavy rain here has woken me up. No thunder at all.

[matt111]

Still hearing quite loud thunder.

[Sparkiee storm]

Any new webcams, showing a good show? 

[Thunderstruck]

Lightning 10km apparently. Definitely not true.

[Eskimo]

Although obviously those living on the south coast are seeing something, which is inevitable. Tonight, however, has largely been a bust. 

[Wivenswold]

First distant flash some way to the South East of me. 

[Mapantz]

Gotcha!

[Thunderstruck]

Oh hang on, what was that? 

[Chris.R]

 Hearing some extremely long sferics about one every 90 seconds, a lot closer than the main background of the MCS. 

[SenlacJack]

This is a cracking good storm. Hastings Pier webcam link:

 

 

[AL.]

We have driven from Swindon to Brighton and are continuing towards Beachy head where we will stop. Loads of Lightning and torrential rain!!

There was a document going around with the lack of imports and MCS into the Southern UK the last 20 years or so.

Somebody will have the link.

Heard 3 or 4 here too. Seen a couple of flashes aswell. Totally unrelated but by god have I got heartburn from hell ...

[Chris K]

Just goes to show it always comes down to now casting. Really this is quite different to what was showing just this morning on many models. AROME was probably the closest in my opinion.

Stark difference in precip forecast from 18z and actual....

[Paul R]

Just heard a deep roll of thunder here in Basingstoke.

[Snow Slave]

Thunder rumbling so deep and long now i can feel it through the ground sitting on my door step! Some awesome bolt lightening too, worth being up for at nearly 1am.
