Much more classic feeling Storm approaching here, in fact many from different sides.
Seems like thunderstorms are organising into separate storms. Will be tough for those that miss in-between. On the models doesn't it show storms strengthening over the south east and east Anglia?
Constant lightning over Basingstoke
Still the odd intermittent high based orange flash
Current rainfall 120mm/h, lots of what I used to call sheet lightning in the old days some crappy thunder sounds, nothing spectacular.
Rainfall seems to be increasing though.
It has just started raining in Croydon. Flashes of lightning. Distant thunder. Brace yourselves Londoners.
