MASSIVE May Thunderstorm in Hampshire, UK (27/5/26)- Frequent lightning

A huge thunderstorm suddenly popped out of nowhere in South Hampshire at around 11pm on the 26th May, 2026. Huge amounts of energy in the atmosphere meant this storm was very energectic as different air circulations interacted with each other while the storm moved inland. There were some powerful bolts, CGs and strikes as well as golf-ball sized hail reported (thankfully we didn’t get any of that) #stormchasing #UKthunderstorms #May2026Thunderstorm ‪@TheUKStormChaser‬
