Kicking off on the Dawlish webcam (for those who want their fix :P )

Have only been watching two minutes and must have seen a good 50 flashes already, gonna be a fun night over there

PukkaStukka

Nothing doing here in West Cornwall. Showers to the east of me are not sparking. Methinks it'll be an early night

Kermit.de.frog

Oh it's kicking off now - Wales and parts southwest England now and POSSIBLY could be a tiny bit of hope for us.

Also keeping an eye on the ever heightening cloud tops in to Waterford. That could kick off any time...

Donegal Storm

Netweather lightning radar seems to be broken, hasn't recorded a single steric from that storm over Devon when there's flashes every couple of seconds on the webcam

Kicking off south of Cork. Wonder if it will clip the south east later on?

Recent strike near Kilmacow, Waterford.

Not sure if that was a glitch on lightningmaps.org? Disappeared when I refreshed the page.

Oscar Bravo

Good few strikes west of Cliften.

Lighting up across a good chunk of southern England now. Going to be some disruption throughout a good bit of Britain overnight.

Danno

Rapid convection south of Waterford!

Just shows you the unpredictable nature of Thunderstorm forecasting. Met Office now including London and the SE in their warnings.

Ireland may get it's share as well yet...things looking perkier than I expected.

Agreed. Worth a good oul radar/sat/lightning map watch for the next while.

Seems to be growing in size, will it spark ?

Danno

Strike around 40 miles due south of Waterford...

This is setting up like June 29th, only this time it's around 4hrs sooner, so we *might* see some nice nightime lightning.

Nice link here: https://www.lightningmaps.org/#m=sts;t=3;s=121;o=0;b=0.00;ts=0;y=50.4575;x=-8.7726;z=7;d=2;dl=2;dc=0; covering south of Ireland and what is happening upstream.

Really is kicking off now, unreal to watch

The strikes over Snowdon may just about be visible for Dubs on the far horizon with the right view.

In fairness it doesn't look like much action at all, a bit like here a few weeks ago , the lightning radars made it appear much worse.

The real problem is how long the strikes stay on the map, if it was instant and no history it wouldn't look anything.

I would think some intense storms going on there Mad_Lad, sferics below are within seconds of each other, and very heavy rain also and possible heavy hail.

Strike just east of waterford city a few minutes ago
It should have been audible and visible in Waterford

The weather gods are punishing Jacob Reese Moggs constituency at the moment.

That cell over Cardiff looks very very nasty altogether.

Great link Danno.

South UK starting to get obliterated on that site.

EDIT: on zoom probably not "obliterated" but plenty of action nonetheless.

Strike off hook head wexford
Should be visible from wexford town and audible from hook head

Donegal Storm

^^What the hell was that..?

Looks like a good light show in the UK but as expected storms are fairly small and fast moving so will be passing through quickly. Possible MCS developing around the Isle of Wight at the moment though
