France has got a lot at the moment.

Think we’ve got some Channel Islanders here that look like they have lightning too.

Storms just hitting here in Soton, crazy loud not much lightning but the rain is seriously heavy.

Getting a massive continuous lightning show south of Guildford, little thunder but you can see the arcs of loghtling - even took some 4K 60Hz video it’s so regular.

Charing Cross (randomly chosen weather station) is forecast thunderstorms anytime for next few hours https://www.wunderground.com/weather/ILONDO440

I'm on a coach back from Heathrow and it's wild just north of Winchester atm!

Storm just hit here in Littlehampton. Lightning is almost constant, heavy rain and mild rumbling so far.

 

[Rroff]

No lightning here so far but been torrential rain and floods.

The lighting map at the moment is looking almost apocalyptic for the south coast between Poole and Brighton.

 

[something daft already!!]

Kicking off here now, loads of flashes and rumbles.

Yep,.like someone flicking a light switch on / off constantly. Some fork and maybe sheet lightning but could be forks out of sight as it's overhead. Not much thunder, mainly constant rumbling and heavy rain.

Can hear it here now though the map isn't showing anything closer than ~12 miles away.

 

[thenewoc]

Not so intense now. Lasted about 20 mins with the wild flashing. Looks as though it might have moved towards Brighton / sea.

Just randomly all over the place according to the lighting map.

Can hear it quite loudly where I am despite so far being bracketed by it on 3 sides at ~10-12 miles.

Had a very large rumble and torrential downpour here on the last 15mims. Looks like in in the firing line for the bulk of it

Edit: just as I typed, multiple flashes and a rumble shaking the building!
