Just rain here so off to bed, fingers crossed for being woken up in the early hours by a proper storm (51% chance apparently!)

I'm pretty sure I can hear thunder, very distant but my ears are certainly picking something up...

This is painfully slow radar watching here in Nw London, might have to call it a night soon. The all elusive night time lightning shot looks set to remain just that.......elusive !!

Radar Animation - created it with a speed just right! this is sundays Met Office radar images through the day into the night.
let it load then it would play quite quick.(you may need to let it play through all time/images first then 2nd loop would play fast loop!)

late evening gave me an intense downpour, it was impressive and one of the heaviest this season! oh and a couple of distance flashes sw.
