Had a second storm pass through Heathrow area around 19.40, was driving through it with rain so heavy with lightning flashing around - it reminded me of core punching on the Plains of the Mid-West for a moment, though without the hail.

Looks like the turn of southern Scotland, E and NE England tomorrow, T+24 fax shows a trough where storms are possible tomorrow:

Those afternoon and evening storms across London looks big from here, im sureit was exciting under them! did get a violent afteroon downpour though, im sure i heard deep rumbles with that one and a few flashes at dusk that must have been lighting. ive realished that its not the SE thats had many storms this season but London or stormdon!
