Total is similar to here, but a much greater concentration in summer.  |

28 mm at DMK airport on Friday but nothing anywhere else. A little bit of distant lightning but nothing else. Hoping for more soon. Should bring the temps down (we've had 37+ C highs for weeks).

There's a bunch of lightning over SE Gotland and the SE Baltic Sea right now, that's not very common on 18 May to say the least!  |

Some fucken epic weather rolling into Norrköping bror's area? My head really feels like it's thundertime too, very strange September-like phenomenon right now. It's currently making landfall around Vålarö and Svärdsklova, where I was cycling on Tuesday evening this week, 18 km east of here. For Nyköping so far it seems like a near miss.  🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 , knot |

I think it's done now, there has been just one lightning in the past hour, paradoxically out of nowhere 30 minutes ago and striking only about 2.5 km from here when I'd already turned the electronics on, well, well. The closest hit was about 700-800 metres away, it was bright enough to light up the room, although nothing like the August near-miss right next to me. This was the radar at 21:15. SMHI only pick it up every 15 minutes so it didn't pick it up when it blazed over town, but it was pretty damn close at this point in time. Quite strong intensity even for an August thunderstorm around here and this on 18 May. This will be a day long remembered. Now it's set for heavy rainfall overnight, but my head doesn't feel as much on edge any longer so I think Nyköping is just in the wake now. After landfall was made, the wind drew it down from the north-east through Vålarö over here and it was definitely a notable thunderstorm.
Blitzortung now at 22.40 suggests the danger ought to be low right now given the wind direction (white = recent strikes, red = edging towards two hours):

imgur.com/a/Rn01E7XStorm that passed over us just now. Both heavy wind and heavy rain. Hillsboro Airport (about 7 miles NW of here) managed a 39 MPH gust.

0.60" of rain total from the storms at PDX since yesterday afternoon, including 0.25" in one hour overnight at both Portland and Hillsboro (which I unfortunately slept through). 5000 homes in the metro area actually lost power... from 0.25" of rain in one hour and 35 MPH gusts.  That's Portland for ya... Second mildest climate in the country next to coastal California. |

I've got a possible thunderstorm on Wednesday. Would be nice, we barely had any last summer.

Number of days with thunder reported at Blue Grass Airport since 2000: I made this using the annual summaries published by NCDC. The average of 29.2 for this period is well below the "normal" of 39.8. I can probably do a few more US locations if anyone wants it. Can you do Rochester? Apparently there was a strong thunderstorm yesterday with hail. |

Here's Lexington compared to Louisville. Yes, that's an average difference of 18.6 days between stations that are 62 miles apart.   |

We had a proper thunderstorm recently (last week, perhaps?), but absolutely nothing else in the forecast right now. 25.8mm of precipitation this entire year so far. Hopefully summer brings wetter weather...

The weather can't quite decide whether it's going to be a thunderstorm or not at the moment, but looks like Nävekvarn and the whole Tunaberg district has taken a hammering:  |

Moving in against the wind direction, really weird day:  Still a bit off, but hopefully it misses. The current trajectory would mean it falls 30-40 km south of here at sea, but these are fickle in nature. |

Riding the luck as we speak. The storm cells are split in two with a new one being formed in the last hour 100 km NW of me, Nyköping sandwiched in between, looks like there will be complete avoidance   |

Just had some epic lightning here, fucken!   Now a second round appears to firing up behind it. Definitely wasn’t expecting this today! |

Looks like Gotland and the SE Baltic Sea is taking a beating as we speak:  Definitely won't end up here though, it's not going in that direction, but Latvia seems like it will get hammered shortly. |

This may well be the Baltic Sea's stormiest summer on record if this keeps up...
9.15 am Central European Time today.

Lovely weather today, quite interesting to look from the window but definitively not good for going to the grocery store. Precipitations map during the peak of the thunderstorm over Grenoble:  Thunder map for the last two hours:  A couple were very close to my home, the lightning and the thunder were almost simultaneous. A couple of hours ago the official facebook page of the "ville de Grenoble" also communicated that all the city park were closed until the end of the rain. |
