Yep, biggest electrical storm I’ve ever seen was as I was driving through the south of France on the way to Argelès.

Downtown Petworth has apparently had a few storms in a teacup though mate.
Lot of hot air in this area as you well know, and that's in the winter!

Ah, good point, well made, prob a dab of last night's pizza margherita. Panic over. Phew!
NOTHING happening anywhere apart from far North of Scotland. Very disappointing so far

This is the closest at the moment
But in reality it's sunny, hot, clear blue sky and zero indication of a thunderstorm coming anytome soon.

Heavy duty strikes was right! I have never experienced a thunderstorm like last night.
Gentle distant rumblings begun about 10.45pm - first lightning was around 11.15pm. Last lightning was at about 4.15am. In between was some of the most astonishing lightning and thunderclaps I have witnessed - for about an hour in the middle we might as well have been in a 70's disco with fast spinning glitterball - there were virtually no breaks between the flashes, and as for trying to count the seconds between the flash and thunderclap to determine the distance, there was no chance. No idea which of the hundreds of flashes related to which thunderclap.
The wife wouldn't let me go out with my camera - probably with good cause. But I was wishing I was in a house with windows pointing the other way! The cat hid under the bed for about six hours.

At 1.30am the central heating came on! Think the power surges must have triggered something.
As a result of this all, we have only just had internet connection restored.
Not a great deal of rain relatively speaking.

The most curious thing..
We had a silent lightening storm last night with no rain.
An hour later it chucked down but no thunder or lightning.

Can you send some over here? We are supposedly in monsoon season, but we've had .... 1/10th of an inch so far (one incident of rainfall in 119 days, and counting).
We are on course for the driest monsoon ever (the record is 1/3rd of an inch).
And all this after July was the hottest month ever recorded in Phoenix - July 2020 is hottest month ever on record for Phoenix

Thunderstorm SE of Amsterdam looks better....................
....and NOTHING near us
I have been to Petworth before, it has a lovely park. I remember seeing a couple of deers at it full on once, what a sight that was.
Is it true that the park had a sighting of a headless horseman? Or is that just propaganda?

Sadly, I think you will find it heading North East rather than North, its called The Coriolis Effect. I'm in Worthing so might be really lucky and catch the edge of it but it's probably Eastbourne / Hastings bound.Looks promising.
