Its been about 50mins but since its too dark to see in the office at the moment and raining stair rods outside I’m expecting the next storm any moment.

about an hour ago, but looks like it could do so at any minute.

that IoW weather site is very very cool.

Another live strike site

I use this… but it’s not great for lightning! Good for all else though. If you live here…

About 2 hours ago (near Huddersfield) when I decided to go for a ride. Got abslutely soaked. At least it’s warm though.

Just had a quick blast here in Guildford, about 6.45, but it’s been rolling around most of the afternoon.

I had a load in P’boro about 4pm ago while i was out on a run. Lightning as well..which when your sodden wet and running past tall trees and lampposts was a touch disconcerting.

Edit: Make that 1 minute ago….its coming back!
