Yes, just saw a huge ic flash! It's just started pelting down too. Loving this mate! 

Just one massive one! Huge crack of thunder!

[oliverek7]

Heathrow planes flying around this one now

[The PIT]

Remains of a storm passing to the east of me. Surprised it didn't maintain ant activity just to rub it in a bit.

[oliverek7]

The heavens are opening now

views southwest and southeast of me

 

[Thunderstruck]

It’s a beautiful morning here and so much cooler too. Lovely! 

I can see the London storm looking menacing to the west but it’s just a bit too far to hear or see anything from

[oliverek7]

Can see another tower coming into view now

 

[sunnijim]

Lively thunderstorm now in SE London.

Decent forks and booming thunder

planes on a diverted path overhead.

Yep that’s passed me now, looking south west I can see an area of dark cloud so could be some more on the way, clouds appear to be moving in a NNW direction

Yeah, I see the planes all taking evasive action! Massive cg bolt just now with an instant crack!

They are,which begs the question has the cold front completely stalled to our West?

This weather was supposed to have cleared by 4am according to the warnings.

Must have stalled, in fact I haven’t had any thunder all night and I woke up at 8:30am hearing distant thunder, 4 and a half hours outside the warning so yeah something must have happened as more showers and storms seem to be forming to the south

Actually, looking at bbc’s Latest weather forecast it shows the cold front stopping right on the centre of the uk so that’s what has happened then it seems

[Windblade]

Over now, but got some lovely mammatus forming overhead. 

[Thunderstruck]

Here’s what it looks like from my perspective, though bear in mind it’s darker than it looks in the photo

Looks like is making a b-line for London again

[Heisenberg]

That London Cell just died before it could get up to me...shame, had some flashes and a little thunder but nothing major....more coming up from France? Will it come this way

There seems to be one cell after the other forming in Eastbourne area moving NNW, not sure if they all will die after they reach London but you never know

[SouthLondonCold]

Image of the cell approaching London.

 

Also there is a line of stuff forming in the channel so maybe hope for people in the wider South East?

[Windblade]

Yep, looks like a conveyor belt from northern france straight to london. Hope it continues. Will make up for all the storms that have missed me this year.

Kinda like a slowed down lightning bolt on a large scale: Making a path for the good stuff to follow through

[Windblade]

Skies darkening to my southeast again.
