Even though I’m 99.9% sure I’m out of the firing line, it’s genuinely nice to see some of you storm starved folk having fun. Enjoy! 

I'm not having fun *sobs uncontrollably*

[ChezWeather]

Anyone further NE of Birmingham, do you think there is any point staying up? 

[StormLoser]

Looks like I'm going to get a taster!

[samadamsuk]

This.is incredible from cirencester-

[Man With Beard]

Oh here comes the bangs! A real symphony now! 

[Robert Lewis]

anyone in Bath right now, it looks like it's very intense there.

[Andy Pepler]

3mm hail and the cell above me has exploded

[R Alto]

Strobe lighting here in Bournemouth on the West cliff and a sudden one minute of largeish hail guessing about 1.5cm to 2cm in diameter. Photos show no scale, but had to scramble fast to get a shot as it's still 25c out here!

[Ronnie]

One clap of thunder here, am near Axminster Devon, no rain,but the sky is alight!

[Supacell]

Providing they don't die out then it looks good for here in the North Midlands later tonight.

Lightning maps is insane, looks like the whole of the south has an attack of chickenpox..

Anyone east of a line Cambridge - London, go to bed.....

 This has been painful...

But I wont deny, even just watching this unfold, and hearing everyone's reports, is incredible! Could go down as a classic UK t-storm night... Just... Not here.

Had another 10 maybe distant flashes and 1 quite big elevated flash. 2 rumbles of thunder. Air so still and stars above me still lol 

Keep an eye out on the stuff out to the South/West in case it expands eastwards.

Can see constant flashing to my south from Gloucester

[Lynxus]

Can see distant lightning now to my south

[Andy Pepler]

3-4am might be when they occur further north

[Lynxus]

Can hear it too!

Yes it seems to be getting brighter too

[Singularity]

First of two ‘arms’ went through. Peak rain rates over 100 mm/hr but only lasted about 5 mins - they’re scooting along as expected.

Lighting is more ‘veiled’ than during the top-tier 2014 events and thunder much quieter.

Some powerful wind gusts though!

[ThundersnowDays]

this is the scariest storm I've ever been in...

[Stabilo19]

Frequent cloud to ground lightning approaching from south of Guildford.

 

[Lynxus]

Holy cow, its pretty much constant rumbling with flashes every second or so!

[Mapantz]

Well, a good light show here but no direct hit and only a few drops of rain. Almost identical to July 3rd 2015. Bit of a shame, but at least I saw some lightning.

One thing to note was the lack of forks and how fast it moved through. Not seen storms move that quick for a long time.
