Looks like another 4 clumps of storms brewing middle of the English channel, going to be a good night

Indeed people on south coast going to get a light show similar to the 22nd of June possibly

Hope so, got my chair ready by the windo. 132 strikes in the last minute registered

bingham67 · 18 Jul 2017 at 22:51

Woop it finally here I can see flashes

Housey · 18 Jul 2017 at 22:59

Nothing here in Staffordshire that I can see, but wind has picked up.

Best storms I have seen were last year in Africa, incredible both on the flight down and when down there. Just breathtaking stuff and I want some of that here please as it's so ace!

I'll see what my phone picks up, flashes appearing now, probably less than 30 minutes away now.

Bickaxe · 18 Jul 2017 at 23:33

Flashes every 30 seconds or so. Just watching TV and catching sight of them out the back door. South facing towards Gosport/Isle of Wight.

bingham67 · 18 Jul 2017 at 23:37

Amazing show constant flashes here right now for 20 minutes and it still going best I have seen for a long time

Just drove over the magogs in cambridge, flashes all around in every direction. Pretty cool.

mmj_uk · 18 Jul 2017 at 23:50

I've always wanted to see it like in horror films with forks galore but by the time it reaches the north it'll probably be the usual flash of light followed by a distant rumble several seconds later.

NoobCannon · 18 Jul 2017 at 23:53

Big ol hail stones here. Biggest i seen in this country! Epic lightning show aswell, was incredibly dissapointed as had to leave for work half way thru and nothing where i am
Now

Been going mental here in south Devon for the past hour.... So tempted to hop in the car and head into the Moors for a real display but it's a school night.. bah!

Hiijinx · 19 Jul 2017 at 00:43

Not so much fun when you live on a hill and are one of the tallest houses around! Laying here under the flatroof is nerve wracking I tell you!

Mynight · 19 Jul 2017 at 01:01

Amazing storm in my area. Absolutely no idea how it happened but heard crack of lightning and TV picture cut out. Still turned on and playing sound but no picture :confused:

Good excuse to buy a new one

Constant flashes here in Littlehampton. At least one fork with sound effects as it ripped through the sky to ground. Very heavy rain, less flashing now, probably moving north.
