    Not even a handful of strikes Maq. We shall see when those cells move on land. But I fear Solar Heating isn't sufficient enough just year. But hey it could spark off other discreet cells .

    These type of storms usually pop up in the early afternoon so it's early days yet. We'll see what happens.

    second what do you guys think the best android app is for keeping tabs on the lightning stikes?

    Storm up in Ulster producing some sferics now. So far everything south of the border has struggled to get going.
    North and northeast should be the best places for development over the next few hours.
