I notice that also, but I find it strange how the storm to the West is heading mostly southwards whilst the one to the East is heading north-eastwards, leaving the Central half of the country clear.

Think you meant Northwards but I get your point

I think there is something higher altitude thats forcing the weather round.

the first storm is now almost straight east, hardly any northern movement on it. I dont think its random, there must be some reason for it.

Both Iberian inbounds to LGW taking the scenic route across the channel towards Dorset, that's quite a diversion.

It is not an exaggeration to say the clear sky above me is constantly flashing and flickering. I just can't make out if it's from the N storms, S storms or both 

Exactly the same here in Rochester. Amazing night: I might not have had a storm (yet) but still, the ability to see the effects when they are, quite literally, miles away is something to behold.

Proving tricky to anticipate the behaviour of this belt of storms. It's not taken on a nice neat line as was seen during the two light shows of summer 2014, instead there are multiple arcs of activity tending to break away landward only to fade out as new and more vigorous cells spring up back out at sea.

I believe this is what's known as back-building and is why it seems to be taking illogically long for the overall mass to make its way inland. I've had flickering and occasional crawlers to the south for near 90 minutes now!

Almost hardly surprising when you have that lot kicking about :D

no visible flashes here, no rain, no wind, no thunder heard. :(

room temp with front door and window open 29.6C, easily the hottest night here so far this year.

Argh I am STILL waiting Armageddon!  Absolutely nothing here near Redhill, Surrey UK, apart from some distant flickers on the horizon.
