Clouding over a bit here now after looking towards the moon

[Mizzle]

Certainly looks interesting now ... might have to get prepped for a drive.

[TJS1998Tom]

If this comes to anything I bet it'll be further West again like the previous two : P I wouldnt mind if they were a little further East then I'd at least have an open space for distant lightning ; )

[Mesoscale]

I have had Muffins with sausage and eggs, I am ready for the storms but I highly doubt anything will trigger. 

[Robert Lewis]

I'm seeing lightning strikes in the channel recorded, maybe this is the start of something bigger.

[TJS1998Tom]

Just as you want to sleep we now get possible signs of something developing bruuuh lol 

[matt111]

Was about to head off to bed, think I might wait a bit longer after seeing signs of life in the channel.

[Robert Lewis]

Signs but no ignition, the isle of wight seemed to stop that cell that was sparking up.

And I was in half a mind to get in the car and the other half to sleep...I'll give it another 20mins or so then I'm gonna get all decisive. Maybe.
