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

[dangull]

BBC weather forecast had most of it arriving on the other side of the Isle of Wight to us in Sussex.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

There is a cluster of quite active thunder storms that are mid Channel at the moment, but seem to be sliding along the coast. Maybe grazing West Sussex. There is a larger and growing area over inland France which might come our way later.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

That cluster appears to be developing a little and may well hit the Sussex coast a little later.

I love this website during a good thunder storm.

Just driven from Three Bridges back to Burgess Hill - lightning flashing all over the place to the South and East. Plenty of thunder now too.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

An impressive one even though I've had to get up to calm the dog.

Was like a disco in RH16, not a lot of loud thunder but more flashing than an old perverts convention

 

[Hamilton]

Well, that was a lively one.

Lots of lights and bangs in BN6 but looks like most of it still in the Channel.

 

[Peteinblack]

Woken early here in Somerset by an impressive thunderstorm - almost non-stop lightning, and some decent rumbles of thunder.
Now up drinking a cup of tea while watching it from the back door. Pretty spectacular.

Likewise in Bristol

Quite something in these parts last night. Possibly the loudest, longest (and closest) thunderstorm I can ever remember in the UK.

[RandyWanger]

Some big puddles in London this morning.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its (in theory) our first evening league cricket match of the season this evening.

 

[A1X]

I was only in there asking for directions on how to get away from there

 

[The Clamp]

Quite something in these parts last night. Possibly the loudest, longest (and closest) thunderstorm I can ever remember in the UK.

Was very loud and long lasting.

I fell asleep listening to it. Very pleasant indeed.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I normally sleep like a log, but I was woken up at at 2am on the dot, thinking 'what the FACK is that?' Scared the shite out of me in my half-asleep state and could still see all the flashing through my eyelids. Apparently it looked amazing!

 

[pasty]

Impressive lightening display in Horsham around 3am

I did wave at you from inside but you didn’t see me
