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

[Official Old Man]

Thursday night storm caused flooding in my street. Water came within a fraction of an inch of the front door.
But as a side, was it just us or did the rain smell horrible?

Sorry but I'm afraid it's you who smells horrible

Thank you very much. Off to take a shower now. I take the hint.

Unless I’m looking at it wrong it said there was no chance of rain in Peacehaven yet it’s raining.

Raining hard here in Eastbourne the last ten minutes. Now a few rumbles of thunder.

Absolutely nothing showing on lightning maps...in fact, according to most forecasts, it shouldn't even be raining!
Had to run out to get the washing in...and by run, I mean walk

The Ventusky app is accurate.

 

[Gabbafella]

Drove from Brighton to Eastbourne and then to ringmer earlier, cloudy skies, light drizzle and thick, stuffy air. Horrible day.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

The Ventusky app is accurate.

I like the animations on that, I'll check it out for a couple of days to see if it out preforms the met office

 

[LamieRobertson]

Met office app was accurate for me locally…I even left the washing out

 

[Weststander]

Wouldnt want to be taking off or landing at Gatwick

 

[Curious Orange]

Just hit Guildford. I made an executive decision to postpone my lunchtime run.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Wouldnt want to be taking off or landing at Gatwick

Yep. I noticed a lot more planes flying low overhead here in Portslade (where it's lovely) and had a look on Flightradar. There were a load of flights due in to Gatwick but circling here or over the sea.
