Are the storms not elevated? If they are then sea temps make no difference.

Ok, I'm going to get some sleep while I can. I might get woken up, I might not (rather not, I value my sleep!) but either way, hope everyone else has a good and safe night, and I'll be back in the morning!

Met Office have this forecast right so far... but how much North will it get I wonder?

[TJS1998Tom]

It's edging a little towards the North for a second there as more rain seems to be over Peterborough

What causes a storm to suddenly change direction? is it high pressure blocking over leicester?

Moving North a nudge again, it could just be as its circuling round (fingers crossed)

[billyc]

Occasionally seeing some insane fork lightning and a bit of thunder now

[TJS1998Tom]

Do I see it moving a little more to the North again?

[tomp456]

BIG THUNDER

VERY BRAVE!!! I'm just watching the rest totally keeping away now!

[tempesta]

Seeing distant flickers to the south from Epsom, must be 50 miles away

[TJS1998Tom]

More rainfall appearing over Peterborough suggesting it could be as it circles round

Does anyone know what the lightning is like at Peterborough?

[EML Network]

Distant flashes here and rumbles of thunder...gradually getting closer...i think its going to get wild here soon !!

[billyc]

Oh man this could be a night to remember! Getting so close now, this is a rare treat indeed.
