Got very dark down here, rain wasn’t too bad but the wind was something else.

No sparks this time.

You're not alone. There's many members on here who haven't had a thunderstorm in a long while. It's coming up to 3 years for me.

It's the frustration of it always being just a whisker away, happens a lot here and even a couple of weeks ago. 3 years is a long time though, I'm surprised given your location!! Your location by the way is fab - I got married in Corfe Castle 2 years ago- amazing part of the country!

Last of the stragglers about to move through down here...

Big flash and loud rumble just over me. Very close. 

[Thunder and Lightning]

Looks like a bowing segment!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Good squall. Flash, low boom and hail

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Nice to see the reports. The current one approaching London watching it’s movement on radar does have a look of LEWP about it.

To the west now. The clouds are really something amazing today.

Just heard thunder despite blue skies overhead. Looks like it came from near Ringwood.

[Eagle Eye]

Amazing photo!!

DLS is down to the SE so I expect the majority of the remaining electrical activity to be based mostly in this corner

Yeah the squall was like that, very turbulent but approaching really quick. Could see small vorticies within the instability but too wispy and small to be funnels

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Approaching squall. No time for a timelapse unfortunately

[PurpleLED]

just had some hail here, quite small but still very unexpected as nothing of note on radar.

[Allseasons-Si]

Here is some pics of the storm approaching from the SW

i wanted some pileus clouds but i will settle for these

getting closer but it didn't look much until it got overhead

clip has finished uploading.
