lightning must be spectacular over the sea now, am sitting in my garden watching faint flashes, can hear distant rumbles too.

if only the stuff was heading this way!

[Stabilo19]

What a great start to the event! Can’t ask for much more than this in the UK.

Just been watching some very distant flashes off to my north - nothing showing on lightning maps..  bizarre!

That will be what's just to the east of York.

[matt111]

Don't know which direction to look now. Constant lightning in almost every direction. 

[Wynn D Woo]

Frequently flashes to my S and SW

[SkyDreamer]

Even though I live in NW London, I can actually see the Lightning Flashes from the Portsmouth storm... Wow. That thing seems to be popping off a few flashes every second.

[Mapantz]

This is unreal!

[OddSpot]

Going mental on these two

Guy anyone know how to get the circle things to show more longer on here? They appear to have stopped https://www.lightningmaps.org/#m=oss;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=0.00;ts=0;y=50.9394;x=-1.4632;z=10;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

Storms were forecast for the NW about now , but East Yorkshire has them instead,  was that even forecast for the East   

[ThundersnowDays]

2015 actually wasn't that good here, I'd prefer July 2014.

[Guest]

Big hail!!! On Bournemouth clifftops

[big_treacle]

Constant thunder from the channel now 

[Man With Beard]

Pretty awesome here in Portsmouth. I'm actually scared to go out in the garden in case I get struck! Though thunder is not particularly loud - perhaps storms elevated. 

Oh here comes the rain, yes, it's heavy!

There is a lighting node showing near Nottingham 

Yeah that was about 2 mile from me but I didn't see/hear it lol

 

Must be seeing the Yorkshire cell...must be really elevated!

[matt111]

BANG!! 

Huge bang just then. Very heavy rain now

[TJS1998Tom]

Just saw a bright flash of lightning to my North but it looks mostly clear outside! 

[Chris.R]

It feels absolutely incredible out here. So thundery. I cannot believe the current temperature just before midnight. 79.5°F, 26.4°C!!!
