UK Thunderstorm | June 26th, 2026 [Close strike]

Thunderstorm Playlist ▶    • Thunderstorms   A small, but intense, thunderstorm rolled through South-West England during the very early hours of June 26th, 2026, after a day of record-breaking temperatures. The activity was rather distant to begin with, except for a single strike that was no more than a few hundred yards away. The thunder was like an explosion, and I felt the shockwave, which hit me at full-force in the face. It was like an incredibly hot blast of air travelling at amazing speed, which almost knocked me off balance. You can see the lamp post shake in the footage at the exact moment I was hit by the shockwave. As quick as the storm closed in... it was over. So, a very abrupt, but loud end to the proceedings. 0:00 - Storm approaches 11:20 - Close strike
