I remember this day (24th June 1994) very well.
It was a very sunny day in Lowestoft. Altocumulus castellanus clouds started to move up from the S in the evening, and then the storms started to arrive by 22.30 hr with some spectacular lightning display to the SSW, including spider-like lightnings crawling across the sky.
However, once the storm fully arrived, there was only sporadic lightnings, say once every 5 to 15 mins, and an hour and half of heavy rain. By 00.30 hr, it was quiet, misty and cloudy with occasional light rain. Whether there were further storms for rest of the night, I'll never really know, but storms normally wake me up, so probably there were none (at least not overhead ones).
I remember the summer 1994 very well. June started off cool and unsettled, but had a good deal of warm, sunny weather from the 12th. July was mostly hot and sunny, but with some spectacular thunderstorms. August was warm but unsettled, with some further cracking thunderstorms.
