Heavy thunderstorm has recently developed over the Isle of Wight and
is now overhead here in West Fareham, seems to be heading North East.

Frequent lightning flashes, heavy thunder very close by, very heavy
rain as i write.

Hi Dave,

The sky is split into two halves as viewed from Romsey;
the east looks very unstable, filled with AC castellanus
and distant CB, while the west is composed of stable,
higher AC. Patches of low CU fractus in all directions.

Thunder was first detected to the SE at 1330Z, where
several distant rumbles were heard. Tracking N or NE,
the storm is now (1415Z) out of earshot.

Nil rainfall during the thunder episode here. How much
did you receive? Sounds quite a splashing to me.
