2 separate cells spiking between each other.

The main core of the Brum storm has turned slightly left and heading away, it looks like it'll heading towards Market Drayton.

i live in congleton and it seems like every storm heading towards us randomly turns away and heads off somewhere else. every. single. time.

Drove up to near Oxford and have a distant lightning display of 3 seperate storms... Remarkable!

Between Bedford and MK and it’s amazing. Proper deep bass rumbles too!

I doubt it would have made it this far N without dying off anyway.

I might get lucky and at least see some distant flashes towards  Eccleshall as it rolls over Shropshire, the lightning seems to be focused left of Penkridge now.

lets see what the forecast says tomorrow, might have corrected east by the morning

[Cheshire Freeze]

The storms over the Midlands seem to be nothing more than convergence initiated. As such, they will probably die quite quickly upon leaving the zone of convergence into more unfavourable conditions.

It’s electrifying all around here now, to the S/SW, SE and E

there does seems to be a line of cells forming between north wales and north west london, if it forms a squall line then it could get very interesting next few hours....

Think there is more chance of me running down my road naked than me seeing a storm here near Chesterfield the storms seem to be going everywhere else bar here

I'll be surprised if any make it this far north, despite the sultry conditions. Just isn't happening up here.

[Hambo-Kun]

Lightning Exploding now at Bridgenorth

[Sam Jackson]

can see the lightning from southampton to my n/ne

[Ryukai]

Have at ye a crappy cam phone Video!  Only picking up the ones that emerge from the clouds and ain't being obscured by the Leylandii Forest , the the flickering is near constant though.

[Shane]

Just a couple of gifs of the lighting.

Squall lines form ahead of cold fronts, there will be no squall line here. It's just wind convergence.
