[Misc] Thunderstorms kicking off.....................

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

We’re on holiday but just spoken to my son who is house sitting for us and he tells me that the Virgin TV and broadband services in Goring are out and not expected to be back until this evening.

Direct hit in Tesco car park apparently

It's bizarre...been checking LightningMaps and nothing on there at all...am I being whooshed?

Nothing on lightningmaps or netweather radars……

 

[BN41Albion]

I appear to have been rudely awoken by a thunderstorm out in East Sussex!

 

[Insel affe]

Pretty loud overhead BN2 Elm Grove

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Fairly loud in BN9 with lots of rain

 

[Brighthelmstone]

starting to rumble in RH15

 

[Guinness Boy]

Big bangs in BN41. Dog ain't keen on going out!

 

[wunt be druv]

Had one up here in BN10 passed right overhead with one particularly very loud simultaneous flash and bang

 

[Norman Potting]

Thunder and lightning here in TN6 ceased around 07:15, suspect this is only a temporary respite

 

[dazzer6666]

Expecting a few on the way back from Manchester……won’t help my banging hangover

 

[Gabbafella]

No idea what time I was woken up by it all kicking off. Looking at Met Office, should be on and off all day and then properly kicking off early hours.
I'll be keeping an eye on Net Weather radar today.

 

[Billy Seagull]

Kicking off in Eastbourne at the moment. A few close flashes of lightning & very loud thunder.

We had a thunderstorm up in Fiveways this morning from 06:30 on for an hour or so. More notable, however, was a torrential downpour very early yesterday (Saturday) morning, at about 02:00-03:00 that woke me up (our bedroom is on the top floor and captures the elements prominently. It was one of the heaviest downpours of late, in a period of increasingly heavy downpours.

 

[Gabbafella]

Looking like a huge storm headed our way, plenty of lighting.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Huge mass of storms in the Channel at the moment making their way northwards.

 

[Gabbafella]

Distant rumblings in BN2, looking very moody out to sea now and it's just starting to rain.
Here we go, as they say.

Yes, here in BN1, I decided to go out for a walk up to Hollingbury Fort half an hour ago, on the basis it was still relatively clear and bright. I turned round within 10 minutes, as it got darker, windier, and the raindrops started falling, and falling bigger.
Huge downpour currently.

Blimey. Biblical rain and almost completely dark outside
