Yep! Just saw some further flashes. 

Finally, at long last, looks like we could be out of the No Storms Club :)

A decent storm running through SE London just now.

Regular lightning,quite a bit of sheet lighting a few cc forks and a couple of cg strikes seen from this suburban window.

Biblical convective rainfall has the streets awash.

A pleasant surprise in intensity given the lack of 'fanfare' around today's potential.

A 'proper' storm= a happy boy!
