Seems as though that's it for now, no fork lightning here but I have to admit I have never witnessed lightning as active as that, for an hour or so it was constant to the point there was no gaps as was the thunder, it did not stop at all, so for that it was impressive. I did get to see some proper fork lightning but that was way east towards Salisbury my high point gave me a good view that way.

Wow!  This is some light show and what a way to be woken.  Constant lightning although not as much thunder.  Looking at the lightning map, it’s across the whole country!  It looks very colourful!  I’ve never seen it so  widespread!

I got woken too. Thought I was dreaming at first!

Just saw an impressive flash of lightning here in Edinburgh. There are also some rumbles of thunder with that.

In addition to that, it has also just started raining here with some fairly bright echoes showing up on the rain radar maps nearby.

EDIT:

That rain has just about completely missed us to our east, and is also dissipating.

What is interesting though, is that there is a much larger batch of heavy rain down in the Scottish Borders where I was a few days ago with some very intense bright echoes showing up on the leading edge of that, and also a few lightning strokes.
