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

[Pogue Mahone]

Huge thunderstorm here in Southern France. Still sweltering, though.

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.

Been a perfect summer for that. I'll borrow our friends canoe. Good idea.
The mackerel are up on the high tide just now in Hove. i'll get down there in the morning and chance my arm.

Raining in East Worthing now

Raining quite heavy in BN3... surprised I haven't seen any FLASHES yet.

BBC said heavy Rain Showers in RH20 from 7PM onwards, a few spots came down and then predictably it departed.

 

[The Rivet]

Light thunder near Brooklands park.

The first wave of storms is heading for Bognor, but there are more coming in later.

Worst of it has missed us by a long way but still hope of a decent shower or two

I'm just north of that big green splodge moving towards Cambridge. It's looking very stormy here...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I can hear rumbles of thunder in the distance.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Very quiet in Devon. Chose my holiday time/place well for a change....

Oh. Well that explains the combines roaring away in the wheat fields out the back then. They were still harvesting right through the night till 4:50am in the field behind my house last night / this morning.

 

[The Clamp]

Couple of isolated flashes of fork lightning to the west of Hove. But I think it's passing us by on the whole.

Some good lightning over the Rampion wind farm from Hove Prom at the moment

Desperate to get it done before any rain does arrive....

Yes, it's all east of the IOW. There is some heading towards Brighton at the moment (as said around the wind farm) but the rest look to be heading towards the north sea.
