Lots of flashes, but not much thunder - kinda the opposite of what we encountered here yesterday evening. Still, makes for great viewing 

Bish

Yes Bish, some excellent CC’s and bright isn’t the word for them, but like you pointed out I can’t hear any thunder either, just watching the main course to the south of us, I think I maybe more in line than you

It's  really quite odd isn't it ?  We've been absolutely sweltering for days, some local stations were reporting temperatures of 35c today. Storms just across The Channel in northern France die out as soon as they try and make the crossing yet further north in the UK it's a storm fest.

Properly depressing isn't it? 

[Hathers]

Forget the thunder this bad boy is electrical 

[SalopWatcher]

Constant low rumble.. never stopping just changing when it has a close strike and goes really loud. It’s so weird. But I love it. 

[slinky1989]

I can see the cloud tops of the Birmingham storm flashing all the way from Swindon! Looks mental active.

what are the red dots in the middle of the strike

They are hot or dead pixels from my 20 year old old DSLR...Almost every DSLR you buy has a dead or hot pixel. It's a fact of sensor life

[Cheshire Freeze]

Constant lightning on the S horizon now

[Calayte]

Holy hell, that storm to the West of Birmingham is insane. I can see flash after flash of lightning got some great footage.

[Ryukai]

Cell to my west is going absolutely bonkers! Strobe lightning and a constant low rumble!

[weirpig]

strikes getting much closer now    everywhere is alight

Hang on a sec - surely Lincs is the epicentre of extreme weather over recent years? 

[JoeShmoe]

Going to be flash flooding in parts of eastern Scotland, rain has been biblical for hours on end ...

I've just seen them flashes myself, it’s that line on the radar ️️️

 

Yep DWW...

Flashing at the rate of 1 a second.

The last 20 mins in the garden have been incredible,

Thunder not loud though, it all seems to be right up in the cloud tops.

Very odd - keep getting 2 mins of heavy rain then the clouds open out and I can see stars.

5 mins later and its raining again.

The lightning is a real show though.

MIA
