There has been rumbling in the distance for the last half an hour, then there was just a flash of lightning which I saw come through a crack under my blackout blind and a few seconds later a big rumble of thunder. It has now gone ominously quiet.

The thunderstorm which has been proceeding north from Derbyshire all evening appears to have stalled near here. There haven't been any new lightnings on the map for about 10 minutes. Sly

And as I posted that I can hear distant thunder again, and lightnings have appeared on the map like magic!

by Butterfield Wed May 12, 2021 12:38 am

Heavy hail on the roof - at night! scared

by Butterfield Wed May 12, 2021 12:38 am

I've always presumed one didn't get hail at night. Like rainbows.

by Butterfield Wed May 12, 2021 12:41 am

Flash under blind! .....Biggish thunder. The lightnings on the map are very close now.

by Butterfield Wed May 12, 2021 1:31 am

Barnard Castle now under attack! Excited

You can actually get moonbows, but they're quite rare, and quite faint.

Beware of the online images of moonbows btw, a lot of them are actually of moon haloes.

This man has had lightning near him.

There are currently lightnings galore around the Midlands and beyond. fireball

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if some shows up round our way, in a while.
