Storms and Convective discussion - 25th July 2021 onwards

[SqueakheartLW]

There is hope for me in the red circle. This appears to be the general direction of the storms. Most likely early hours of the morning for me though

[Callie]

Good storm passing over Eastbourne

[Aqbadger]

Is this the main event or are we expecting anything else later?

[Superstormuk]

I may have just heard the deepest and loudest rumble of thunder in my life, it sounded more like an explosion or sonic boom.

I’ve got a recording of it attached.Loud thunder.m4a

What I’m seeing right now 

[Eagle Eye]

Couple stills from my shakey hand

[StormLoser]

Three or four good flashes (one forked, negative) over Reigate just now as a cell passed north.

Looks like we may get a bit more by 9pm...  

At last. At lonnngg last.

Storms in Reigate, What's going on? You don't get storms there. Local high pressure zone and all

[Biggin]

T and lightning just now to my west

At last!  If I had some party poppers, I would pop the whole bag for you, yay, celebrate.

[Biggin]

[Eagle Eye]

False strike I'm assuming over the channel

Thank you!!!

[Petorious]

Looks like a band of average rain and not electrically charged either lol

[Freeze]

Not too bad light show considering I was expecting nothing!

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Euro 4 showing a development over EA in the early hours, maybe from that area of activity to the North of Paris. First interesting day/night of the year for a very long while! 

[Harry]

Nice bright flash and second rumble just now - not as frequent as it was, but won’t complain. Sitting in the garden, lightning flashes, thunder, glass of wine, warm evening - what can top that??

[StormLoser]

That storm north of Paris is very active. Blitzorg is firing off rapidly. Could be a...

Kent Clipper!

Later on.

[Wimbledon88]

Torrential rain and thunder( very little lightning) in South London. 

[StormLoser]

Oh! We're back in action in Reigate!

[Stabilo19]

Just saw a flash of lightning looking East from central London. No rain and no lightning shown on blitzortung. Hmm.
