Hearing thunder and seeing lightning down at the cost in East Sussex
Had a small period of wind, and heavy rain, I think I heard maybe some distant thunder a couple of times but no flashes of lightning. It was all done with after about 15 minutes. Back to no movement in the air and didnt have much impact on temperatures.
Area is city of Leicester, so I guess not far from cheesefest, interesting we had different experiences for the lightning, I guess the lightning may have happened earlier before I started looking out for it. But I never heard close thunder. Guessing I only got the edge of the cell.

Anyone getting anything seems most of England is under thunderstorm weather warning?
Looking at the lightning map doesn't look like much. Although every time I look at it I wish I lived in Switzerland.

We didn't even get rain down here in the south, it's been a lovely sunny 26c here all day

One of the most insane storms I've witnessed was at Mulhouse Airport. Went from glorious sunny afternoon to pitch black, strong winds, hail and a constant lightning/thunder back and forth. Lasted for about 20 minutes. Was utterly awesome. Apart from the delayed flight.

Its disgustingly close tonight in the south east but no thunderstorm forecast here. I really wish there was.

Insane storm here right now. Lightening every couple seconds.

There was a thunderstorm warning in the SE earlier this morning, but doesn't look like there is any chance of one now. Certainly feels like it though!

Yeah very close again
I think the constant on and off rain and sun, is going to make for a very sticky september!

Supposed to be up to 26c tomorrow
The weather is literally changing every few hours or so when I look at the forecasts. It's ******* it down right now, and says it's going to be raining until Saturday now, so probably won't be any thunderstorms!

Had one massive clap of thunder earlier which my mate also heard it several miles away. That's the only one so far today.
