Still going here in Carluke, Lanarkshire, around 1 hour so far, probably
peaking at 5 or 6 per minute, now eased to 1 or 2 per minute, some cracking
CG and gunshot style sound effects! Yet to venture out to the
non-computerised rainguage, would estimate 15 to 20mm.

Sferics system picking up around 73 fixes UK area per 5 minutes.

More on the way to you now, I think. We've just had a spectacular light
show and another 6mm of rain in just a few minutes. AWS showed a peak
rainfall rate of just over 100mm/hr.

Yep, heaviest rain of the day so far, only 13.1mm in previous storm.
Lightning rate well up, 10 per hour,almost continuous thunder, will measure
rain when done.

Sorry about the delay in the post.
The double whammie moved over Wishaw too.
First storm at 9pm contained a lot of fork lightning to the south and east,
hence it must've been spectacular indeed with you Stuart.
10mm from that one with a peak rate at around 40mm/hour. rather short lived
/ fast moving.
Second storm had the heavier rainfall here and some spectacular forks in the
nighttime sky. Could see the lightning approach for a good hour beforehand,
around the time it would have been in Steve's vacinity, and then at midnight
it was overhead and the heavens opened.
15mm from this and a peak rate close to 60mm/hour. The rate of lightning
subsided quickly soon after midnight.
