It has been very warm here for the past few days and is planned to for a little while, here in the UK. We may get some subsequent to this, so we'll see.
Had a pretty good storm pass over the island last night
I went out to see if could catch some shots of the lightning, out of 87 photo's taken i got this one (it was took from inside my car with torrential rain)
There may be more storms around for the UK as the de-stabilization of the plume is taking place.
Errr.. ofc i am BP
I live for storms - nearly 40 yrs have been a storm chaser (yes i was only 2 when my father dragged me out storm chasing)
Next year 6 weeks in the states chasing Tornados cant wait

On topic, yesterday we had the nastiest thunderstorm I've ever experienced in Finland. The sky was literally like a strobe light. Too bad I didn't break out my camera..
Changed title and moved thread to more appropriate area. Happy thunderstorm talking!

Apparently it updates only a matter of seconds after the lightning strike has occurred.
