This is so cool. Grin

Real time lightening map. I’m currently lying on my bed listening to the thunder and simultaneously watching it on the map. Grin

That is cool!

GrrrAaargh · 25/07/2019 20:23

That's very cool! Alas it shows the thunder is still far away from us. Boo!

That's really cool. None anywhere near me in Notts though. Hoping we get some.

feliciabirthgiver · 25/07/2019 20:26

Really cool, thanks for posting. We are off to France tomorrow so not sure if we will be heatwave or thunder storm!

mineofuselessinformation · 25/07/2019 20:26

If it makes it to me, I have every intention of standing out and getting soaking wet! (Provided there's no lightning close by.)

WickedGoodDoge · 25/07/2019 20:26

I think I am a geek. Grin Just watched a bit of lightening on the map go off about seven miles from here and then counted until the pulsing radius got close to my house when I heard the thunder. Took about ten seconds.

That's much more interesting than it has any right to me.

It reminds me of sitting watching the earthquake map after Christchurch's big quake in 2011.

The storms are getting closer to where I am. Hooray!

What’s the advice re thunderstorms and being on a boat/ near water/ ina caravan in forest? I’m on hols in Italy and I think it’s heading this way!

CherryCheezcake · 25/07/2019 20:34

@Karwomannghia - If my grandfather is to be believed, it's to get the feck of out that boat and that water, and if absolutely must be under a tree, it's better in a forest than a lonely one of a field. And no swimming.

Spinnaret · 25/07/2019 20:43

Wow! I can smell rain here, but there is none to see. All doors and windows open trying to get the cooler air in...

halesie · 25/07/2019 20:46

Amazing! Thank you for sharing OP.

peanutbutterismydownfall · 25/07/2019 20:49

I'm in Kent and got heavily rained on earlier. It was bliss.

BluebellsareBlue · 25/07/2019 20:56

Massive rolls of thunder in monifieth (just outside) Dundee, Scotland

BluebellsareBlue · 25/07/2019 20:57

Oooh and lightening!!!

GrrrAaargh · 25/07/2019 21:00

All that lovely thunder being wasted on the bloody sea! Sad Please head towards the Midlands!

WhereDoesThisToiletGo · 25/07/2019 21:02

One isolated lightning strike just off Porthcawl. So lonely

Ylvamoon · 25/07/2019 21:07

Watching the map, I'm now getting the feeling the storm system is going to track west of us and miss us entirely. Sad

MrsIronfoundersson · 25/07/2019 21:19

Where are you icy?

Icylightning · 25/07/2019 21:20

Just outside Colchester in Essex
