Thunderstorms

[ManOnTheRun]

How do the busses manage to get affected?! It's rain with a bit of thunder. Happens every year.

This might explain it. This is part of the route the 1 & 1a would take.

From Brighton There's 2 cancellations around now but all others are reported to be on time. Arun valley is all on time, 20 minute delays between hove and Brighton till 9ish.

If there's one thing about our trains, be it Southern or National Rail, it's their pathetic organisation when things to a bit t*ts up, they just fall to pieces. I particularly love the 'up to 20 min' delays today, when everything at SBS is just cancelled or permanently delayed. Great communication here, screenshot taken at 7:45

According to the BBC weather, it's sunny and cloudy in BN3.

It wasn't on the Breakfast show, it clearly showed a storm over us.

 

[Hyperion]

It's certainly cleared the air a bit though.

 

[Notters]

There seems to be a constant rumbling sound now?

Nothing here....Eastbourne, clearly where the righteous live.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This is Portslade apparently.

Pretty nasty driving through Worthing this morning, touch and go whether the road would flood too much, but OK once out past that.

Cranking up again in hove must be well over 90 minutes of thunder,about time it buggered off to hastings please

 

[clippedgull]

Avoiding Sussex!!

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Fire Brigade are at a neighbours basement flat and I am not sure if they are doing good and pumping water out or evil and pumping water in.

 

[Norman Potting]

How are u all doing down in BN? Radio says that you have serious hailstorms. Just a rather pathetic rain shower in TN6 - so far.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Nothing here....Eastbourne, clearly where the righteous live.

Looks like it's started here now.

Flooding

It doesn't though does it? Worst thunder storms I've seen in the UK by far.

This might explain it. This is part of the route the 1 & 1a would take.

Fair play, when I posted my comment I only thought it was light rain & thunder and was unaware of the flooding.

 

[MattBackHome]

On the 1a now. The storm can't be that bad as there's no sense of communal experience yet. Everyone's gazing at their handheld devices as per usual.

 

[pasty]

I'm sure there is probably a meteorological reason for it, but can anyone that knows these things explain why the rain seems to intensify immediately after a clap of thunder?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Trains from hove to clapham? Are they affected?
