Area of heavy rain now moving ENE across Lower Thames valley into the London area now. Unexpected thunder and lightning close to heaviest rain - just west of Weybridge, to my west. It may clear through reasonably quickly but sufficient I would have thought to flood a few underpasses in urban areas. Just as I write this it appears to easing off a bit as it crosses London - typical!

It was Blitzortung that showed it / them - anyone viewing this image fairly soon will be able to see the strikes shown before they disappear http://en.blitzortung.org/live_light...aps.php?map=12

My sitting room faces west so the flash of one strike was clearly visible. Incredible speed of development of the rain cells earlier.

We had lightning in Penzance around 17:00 yesterday which wasn't picked up. It was actually well to the ESE, probably near the end of the LIzard, Lizard, about 30 minutes after some really torrential rain/hail.

It seems a bit hit & miss what's picked up during these 2 or 3 flash downpours, often set off by that lovely warm sea west Cornwall is surrounded by.

Yesterday morning saw a pleasant lull in the weather, after so much wind.

This photo really was taken yesterday (11:30ish)
