Aren’t we supposed to be getting one tomorrow in the south/east?

Yes, tomorrow in theory. Looks like there was a strike near Portsmouth and there is some dark cloud building in Brighton. It could be weed, I can’t tell.

I'd love a good storm now to freshen it up. 24c in house, 23c outside at the moment. Pressure is dropping here.

Bit of activity in the channel now, heading to the south coast. Can feel it in the air now.

Supposed to been thundering tonight but no sign, it's cooler than last night though but still quite humid. BBC weather site saying tomorrow for thunder and warnings. I do love a good thunder and lightning https://map.blitzortung.org/#6.41/50.037/0.866

Striking off of Folkestone down to hastings currently odd strike coming in land around London and Kent areas.

 

[Rroff]

Very random strikes all over the south weirdly, but very isolated. (Don't think they are detection glitches).

There seems to be a big build up in the channel then it dies before it hits the coast of UK or goes sporadic, what causes that guess some atmosphere conditions?
