I'm so glad excited. I love a good storm. I hope it is a ripper

It’s Just arriving here at West Lulworth. I think we’re in with a shout down this way tonight Mapantz.

[knocker]

Much of the cloud has cleared.......now quite a pleasant evening

[Ciderwithrosie]

Sky starting to darken here as well in Somserset , though I'm not sure why lol as the radar shows precipitation a long way off .

Where are you? I'm bh12

[Mapantz]

Looking pretty poor to be honest. The core of the lightning isn't moving North.

It never usually does though does it, the channel doing it's usual trick.

However as it all pushes north east I would expect lightning to start pepping up again as the storms hit britain, although probably not as widespread as current in northern france..

Certainly in no hurry to move north. Rain just starting here.

[Mapantz]

I haven't seen or heard anything yet, so I know it hasn't gotten any closer.

[Andy Bown]

I cannot get the Net Weather radar or Lightning Maps to work!!!

It’s very infrequent and still along way out to sea.

[Wiltshireweatherwatcher]

The main core is just sitting there in the channel. What’s it waiting for? Bizarre.

[knocker]

[Wiltshireweatherwatcher]

Much closer now. Mapantz you would have heard that one.

[jtay]

Distant flashes through the gaps in the trees to the South. I will stay up.

[Barbel]

Thunder, Lightning and torrential rain nr Lyme Regis. Nice relief.
