This video was taken at around 1am on the 24th July 2019. Following the first day of a 5 day heatwave, this lightning storm hit the majority of West side UK. It is currently ongoing as I'm writing this description lmao, and is set to carry on till around 5am. not much thunder is heard due to thick cloud coverage and the distance between me and the storm at the time. This was taken around 10 to 15 minutes before the storm passed directly overhead
