I seen a radar image from a youtuber who does the weather, since storms typically pass at the edge of weather patterns, if his image is anywhere near accurate none of the south is going to see a storm, would maybe be northern england at best. Check around 7 min mark. Actually towards the end of the video it shows the 18 may, the edge of the weather pattern is going up through wales which the storm would probably track. That would match up with usual summer Atlantic weather patterns where only the west gets thats weather.
It's too hot :(

Huge storm to the south. It’ll probably miss us. Hope not.

Seems to be tracking NW currently. So much for east of England. Crazy lightning over the channel.

Damn. Just one proper Draculas castle thunderstorm, is that too much to ask for?

The main thunderstorm activity seems a bit further west and development has initiated over the Channel later than forecast - looking likely anywhere along the South Coast from Selsey to Seaford will see lightning out to sea soon or in the next few hours. Its slowly moving N-NE.

Looks like it could spread pretty widely east to west.
Decent storm in the end.

Air con pays for itself this time of year in quality of sleep alone.
Last night's storm was as @robfosters mentioned, a proper Dracula moment. As a kid, storms usually resulted in power cuts, sitting in candle light. We lived in York and parents would scare us with tales about Dick Turpin etc! 
No thunder which got me thinking if its true, that as kid I was always told that a silent dry storm is the most potent and scary. Well last nights was decent!

You're on the wrong team, your cup suggests you should be complaining about the sun

Beautiful day today. Excellent weather to measure up the new holiday home tomorrow and then spend some time on the beach.

It's crap up 'ere 
Just got a Dyson fan with filter and wondered why I didn't get one sooner. Absolutely no symptoms indoors now, it's bliss.

Looks like the Met Office thunderstorm warning could be real tonight...

It’s started on the south coast.
Picking up over the whole of the south now.
