Looking at the radar there's not much thunderstorm activity going on
in the SE, and I wouldn't have thought there'd be much action kicking
off this late in the day. Or am I missing something?

Over hyped by the British media.

Well it was being widely forecast on the "official" BBC forecasts.

.... except for here in NE England where they were forecasting 'white
cloud' PM, this was a new type of white cloud known only to the BBC
forecasters as at around 1600BST there was a huge TS and a huge
backbuilding TS slightly later with lightning at 2-3/min + hail + huge
raindrops.

By 1700BST the murk had come in from the coast and killed it all stone dead.

There's a bit more action today. That's more like it should have been yesterday. Shame it won't move its way west to Milton Keynes though.

Correction: Heavy shower and a few rumbles of thunder heard in Milton Keynes. Seems we've just caught the edge of the system. Had to put the house lights on it was so dark!
