No thunder yet in Southampton this year to the best of my knowledge -
the least thundery start to the year for a long time. I think there
were some years in the early 90s with no thunder till late April or
even May, though.

But we had very loud thunder in Waterlooville yesterday, and when I got home
I found that the power had been off.

No. Thunder in quite a few places in southern England as shown on the
sferics map.

There was a ground strike close to my parents near Christchurch which set
their burglar alarm off and was literally felt around the town. Sea breezes
opposing the light NE'ly surface flow largely to blame.

Storms were reported at Bournemouth and Plymouth :-
