A large thunderstorm brought flashes of lightning to the skies above the Isle of Wight overnight, with rain lashing down and winds of up to 60mph.
The storm moved up from Norhern France to surround the Isle of Wight shortly after 23:00 following what was an incredibly hot day – just 1 of many this week.
By 01:30 the weather had moved to the north and things had settled down. The action was caught on camera by Isle of Wight Webcams.
Island Echo reader Vikki Owen captured our spooky featured image of lightning over the former Whitecroft Hospital at Gatcombe.

What about the tremendous hailstorm we had around Midnight across the water in Milford. It sounded like rocks hitting the roof.
