Lightning struck Queenstown Road sub station the storm late afternoon in London. This knocked out the signals between Clap Junction and Waterloo and has made for a miserable commute home!

Dave, I think +TSRA means thunderstorm with heavy rain. I don't think metars assign an intensity to thunderstorms per se.....unless someone knows otherwise.

Moderate hail shower in MK around 13:00 this afternoon, but no thunder.

Yes sorry should have read TS with heavy rain, just me being sloppy!

Left Paddington at 1745 in the midst of a Thunderstorm, at least 4 flashes and associated thunder. Best storm I had been in for years, shame I was leaving.

Thunder reported from Mullingar this afternoon with CG observed.
