Are you at Uni ATM?  Might get the cells that have appeared SW of the main area of ppn.

I thought things are only suppose to kick off later on this evening for the south and southeast?

I wonder if this is a sign that everyone will lose out on the thundery weather and be gutted like us lot here already are in the West. 

I think Ben was talking about his area, rather than the risk altogether - UKV is fantastic for the SE, less good for those further west

Lol. There are far better roads around there to use!

[Freeze]

First thunder of the year!

[Southern Storm]

Sat waiting in Highcliffe, and not too much to report, other than some rather dark skies.

I am indeed, but difficult to get an sort of decent vantage point here!

[Superstormuk]

Flash of lightening and crack of thunder literally just as I reached the beach in Brighton. 

[Electricmumma]

Looking stormy out so taking a walk down the beach. Will post pics shortly 

[alexisj9]

Lightning wise looks like it's rebuilding now, let's see what happens.

I'm starting to feel better with regards to central southern areas getting something, judging by the current radar!

[Dbarb]

Is this area of thundery rain expected to intensify, I reckon the main event will be later in the night as it normally is

[tomp456]

With this years rumble of thunder been and gone, I’ll see you all next year.

That's a long lightning strike

[Woodboss]

Evening all hope everyone is well,currently at beachy head near Eastbourne and under a big wet convective mess! Appears that the lighting from this area has waned somewhat! 

[Sam jackson88]

storm in the bay of biscay is tracking almost directly north, maybe a little N/NE

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Saw that flash yay

[StormChaseUK]

Starting to see some nice clumps of cloud behind that blob in the south east, southern flank of that blob being most active.

Looks good to me mate - right over the Vale of Belvoir en route to you

[ChannelThunder]

Disappointing so far. We need the echoes in the channel to light up soon otherwise it's game over.

[Eagle Eye]

Dark here, timelapse is on...
