Threatening skies all around this part of North Essex, a few spots of rain starting to fall. No thunder or lightening though.

While we wait for boom or bust, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of cell that was off in the distance, roughly 50 miles away

Thank you

Wasn't sure about posting the first one, it looks a bit suspect on closer inspection, the cloud,  or is it just me?

Quite frustrating, nearly every time lightning is within miles from me, both lightning maps and blitzortung fail to register any of the strikes? I'm just outside Aylesbury in Bucks and there's no sign despite seeing at least a flash a minute and hearing more rumbles.

It has been going on for at least 20 minutes. Came in from Berkampsted way. Getting at least a flash a minute. Nothing on either lightning detectors and they're working because they're picking up the French ones.
