Lightning to the SW now and some rumbles. 
 

 

Round one- Kent clipper.

Round two - central France and all points NE of that.

Round 3 - "thundery rain" for the SE of England.....

Awesome thunderstorm here in Ashford!! - From what looked to be a gust front with a wall cloud, turned into bright strikes, flooding rain and more!

Another East Sussex/Kent event. What do we have to do to get a decent thunderstorm in south west London? I think I’d have to go back to the amazing storms of May 2018 for the last decent nighttime storm. 

Move house.

Plain rain here. A bit like expecting a three course meal and ending up with a stale cracker. As you can guess from all my food references, I am hungry

[Crepuscular Ray]

At this rate, I'm going to have to empty the rain gauge before I go to bed and again at about 3 a.m.

Heaviest rain here I've seen in a long while, persistent torrential convective deluge courtesy of cell training. Wouldn't be surprised to hear reports of flooding around here by the morning. the word 'tropical' springs to mind... Must be those high PWAT values!

EPIC STORM!!!

Lightning every 2 seconds, huge shotgun bangs, power outages!

Wowzers that was some thunder clap!

Straight out s*it me up that!

Looks like the East of the region and extreme SE are experiencing the thunder. Here in NW London the skies have cleared and the rain has stopped. 

[lottiekent]

In one hour I recorded 26.6mm of rain, maximum rainfall rate was 64mm per hour at one point!

It's an absolute myth that the channel kills off storms in summer. These storms pepped up over the sea and affected only south and east Kent and the far east of Sussex. Plus look at that stuff near cap gris nes right now. That definitely brewed up out to sea.

Proper diddly squat here, had heavier rain in May and thunder galore, minus the hype lol

[Norfolk Sheep]

Suffolk coasties may see some faint flashes very soon.

Don't go mad!

[Lauren]

Rain stopped here and all calm, went to East. Perhaps stuff later will hit us.

[scrat]

Lightening here in Biggin and thunder, a long way off… rain has stopped though

[Electricmumma]

Heavy rain in bexhill, heard two or three distant rumbles 

[Norfolk Sheep]

And...off we trundle into the N Sea, gathering strength.

[Maidstone marginal]

Wow a flash and bang North West from Maidstone. The land is fighting back

At least that 2nd cluster is slightly further west, East Anglia may see the odd flash as it dies out somewhere near Thetford at about 3am....

Status update incoming 2 huge intra cloud flashes and deep tumble
