[Sussex] Is today going to be a thunderstorm day ?

[dazzer6666]

Feels a bit like it at the moment, claggy air and a lot more cloud about.........going to keep an eye on the radar. Lots over the Channel Islands at the moment.....and just had a few big spots of rain in Burgess Hill

Felt like it in Lewes lunchtime

It rained on the beach at Littlehampton at 1.30pm...not a lot but it did...

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

We had a rumble of thunder earlier in TN21 and even a few spit spots of rain. Eff all since mind but fingers crossed for a decent downpour later.

Was kayaking off Seaford around 2 and we had a sharp shower. Kittiwakes got quite excited as it can bring fish to the surface.

Wind getting up now in Lewes, a question of when not if.

Looks like some fairly heavy rain heading across the channel towards us.......

Quite a few storms brewing in northern France at the moment. The Beeb did forecast them for tonight, so we shall wait and see.

Does it bring mackerel to the surface?

Up in Ash today and grey clouds came over. Got all hopeful, then the rain came. Well I say rain it lasted for all of about a minute and all it did was was make my car dirty so it now needs a wash.

Not much, and rain seems to have largely fizzled out offshore too

Does it bring mackerel to the surface?

Can bring insects and vegetation to surface which attracts fish, apparently. The Kittiwake colony on the cliffs is best seen by kayak, especially at high tide. It was great just floating there amongst them in the sea, all bobbing along together. Recommend it if you get the chance.

Getting darker and more humid in Lewes, will break properly soon.
