Jesus Christ I’ve never seen a thunderstorm like this one! Absolutely mental. Lightning every 3-4 seconds!
Where was this? I woke up very briefly to thunder and heavy rain in Surbiton but not sure anything can tempt me out of bed to look out of the window at that time in the morning. Sounds like I may have missed a spectacle.

But I looked on weather radar and we were under a very thin line of intensity so it might have been very localised
I looked at the live lightningmaps.org and it was showing a huge mass of strikes across the Portsmouth to Brighton area, and a rate of 231 strikes a minute. On the map it looked like fireworks popping off.
For me it was pretty bright and continuous, and I'm off the western edge of that area.
