Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards

[Hathers]

This is absolutely brilliant. It’s been years since it’s been this good. Wow

[ancientsolar]

wonder if there is any high level electrical activity in the Exeter storm

[Ruck Bodgers]

Wow can see the light show in Stoke!!!!!!!!

[SalopWatcher]

The bulk of cell (and rain) has moved over us now, but that was intense. It’s slow moving so an hour later and we still have a good light show. Town is abuzz about it on social media. 

Brilliant . 

[Saint coolio]

Well this is remarkable. Sitting outside near Romsey, Hants with constant flashing way off to the North/NE. Can’t even figure out what storm that is

meantime already seen two exemplary shooting stars from the meteor shower

and somehow everything smells of the seaside (outside chance that’s the bins) 

[Bishop Brennan]

The house just got rocked by an enormous gust of wind, and now it is absolutely chucking it down.

This lightning is some of the best I've ever seen!

[Frosty hollows]

Bizarre. Almost constant, albeit faint lightning here, but clear skies!

[Sparkiee storm]

Literally cannot remember lightning like this before, especially in August, what an evening and still going strong, got plenty of pics and video to look through tomorrow.

I can see the lightning to the North of me from the top of Salisbury Plain. Very impressive it looks from this distance... 

 

[Dancerwithwings]

Honestly this isn’t lightning.....it’s more like the strobe lights you get at a night club, as MIA said it’s every second. Also the thunder is getting louder from the South.....surely it can’t get better than it already is

Managed to get a timelapse of that gorgeous thunderstorm over Oxford. Will upload it here as a GIF soon.

[weirpig]

cell north of Stoke really as sprung to life  also   

[Bunnyfugger]

I'm just outside Warwick and it's been crazy here for the last 40 minutes and it's still going! Lightning every few seconds, flash after flash.

Thanks Zak. I was just a few miles away  but didn't have my phone  on me!

[ChezWeather]

Sat on the hills not far from home watching a brilliant strobe show to my SW, seen a few anvil crawlers and very bright flashes even from this distance 

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

One like = one pay of respect to us in the south east  ;-;

[JoeShmoe]

Insane storm over Edinburgh , search #edinburgh on twitter and watch the videos . Flashes every 2 or 3 seconds and constant thunder for the last hour  

[Bishop Brennan]

Utterly insane lightning and rain right now, and the thunder has finally decided to join in as well
