Well finally heard a rumble here, just as the last storm was leaving, it decided to spark up. Think something else is on the way, wonder what it'll do. 

By the way the rain was very heavy.

Few Intracloud strikes picked up from the IOSSC's lightning detector in Sheerness.

You can clearly see the line of storms on lightningmaps. Those areas have got very lucky this afternoon.

That's pretty much the South Downs Ridge effect that gives anyone going into Gatwick a bit of fun.

So how does this afternoon's fun set us up for later on?

Not likely to be anything electrical now, the mid layers aren’t gonna be supportive for deep enough convection. Might get some showers maybe

Anyone know what the MUCAPE possibility is for the SE corner on Wednesday night? Looks like a heavy area of rain moving SEwards into the region over the night hours and usually this is a good track for us (if there’s any storm potential)

Here are the videos, unfortunately they don't contain thunder or lightning which is quite disappointing as the first video was the storm that came over to me at Hothfield and literally a few seconds after that it had quite good amount of lighting and thunder but as i said earlier i was getting pounded by rain and didn't have waterproof clothing on so i couldn't record that much.

The second video was when the second wave came over and again, no thunder or lighting but good amount of rain. I know these aren't fantastic videos but maybe they're good enough for some relaxation or something.

Will that include East Anglia?  I'm presuming that you're referring to the south-east when you refer to "the region".

Weakening fronts under high pressure will just amount to cloud.

Anyone know the best lightning detector to use? As net weather is picking up lots of strikes and blitzortung and lightning maps aren't picking up any thing. I wonder if the net weather ones are false

They're false as there's nothing happening where those are showing.

I’ve got the yellow one (lightning alarm?) and a blue one (both of these are apps) and they tend to show a lot more than blitzortung does

Seems to happen a lot but they often appear on different sites at different times.
