It was a very stormy night on Wednesday, when a line of thunderstorms battered south east England for several hours.
The storms formed across France during the afternoon and steadily headed north, crossing the English Channel. They hit the south coast, dropping torrential rain, during the early evening.
There was little wind so the storms were quite slow moving. It steadily edged north and eastwards through the night, delivering torrential downpours and spectacular lightning displays.
The dramatic storms affected the south east, with Sussex, Kent, Surrey, south London, Essex and East Anglia worst hit
The severe storms cleared into the North Sea early on Tuesday morning, although there remains a risk of isolated thundery showers developing on Thursday.
