Meanwhile over in Autumn, Edinburgh haar thickening and obscuring anything over 100m above sea level, a chilly evening, 13 C

It's been a day to ditch the shorts and get the jumper back out! 🙄

1.00 am. DIstant flash of lightning to my S.E. Darren - looked like over your way on the radar. No rain here yet despite showing on the radar. Still 22.8C. Unless we get some heavy downpours could be our first "tropical night" though it felt like it last night!

Plenty of thunder and lightning, and one of those cruel nights where it's too hot to sleep (so you eventually drop off hours later than normal), have a fitful sleep because it's still hot, then you get woken up by storms - in my case an hour before I'd normally get up, so it's not worth trying to sleep. One "zombie day" coming right up!

Only 2.2mm rain from the storms so far, despite the angry-looking radar.

Another view of that possible tornado within my own region yesterday. Still hard to know if it touched down fully but an impressive sight all the same.

Was able to capture this cheeky popcorn storm with my Big Camera as it passed by harmlessly over the Strait of Dover yesterday evening.

And of course those excellent pictures Ian and the inspired link from CP.

Just a quick heads up... I'll have the third generation EUMETSAT 1km lightning strike satellite imagery online shortly. The images show total lightning strikes over the last five minutes. Initially, I'll overlay them on the IR image, but I may (or may not) add transparent PNG images to the radar viewer (https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twodata/uk-rainfall-radar.aspx) in the near future.

The image below is from this evening.
