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

[Publius Ovidius]

We had an almighty storm in the mountains south of Chania in Crete couple of days ago…

Been sat out in our back garden this afternoon sweating profusely yet just spent 2 weeks in Crete in blistering temps without sweating at all…

Bloody humidity in this country is a killer!

I'm currently 300 miles south of B&H and it's been 33 degrees. Thunder storm forecast for tonight which no doubt will move north .... get ready !

Go away, we're all jealous.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'll hold you to that

It’s my wife’s birthday today, not mine sadly!

I'm about 300 miles east, it's been about +28 hot and muggy as hell. No rain on the radar at all.

And Brighton as well. Water companies will be very happy

Bloody Nora, this is how I remember thunder storms in the summer holidays as a kid, proper scary.

Expect now I’m not scared about getting struck, I’m worried about what will leak, or the drive to work on oily roads after a dry spell.

 

[atomised]

currently seems to be missing us here in Seaford though hearing the odd distant rumble. trackers show it very stormy over Brighton and Worthing

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Lots of lovely rain near Horam.

 

[Blinkers]

Now, this is freaky and I’ve never seen it happen before but at least 1 in 5 of those lightening strikes passing over Brighton produced enough electrical charge in the atmosphere to light up a small set of garden fairy lights in my neighbour’s garden by induction. Love a lightening storm!!

Left the house just about 4.30am and lightning (no audible thunder) over the hills of Lewes every few seconds then a Bibilical downpour from 4.45. I pity the guy I saw walking towards the station in a smart suit shortly before it started.

Of course, they'll be able to use it as exceptional circumstances and dump more sewage into the rivers and sea!!!

 

[Norman Potting]

Hissing down with thunder and lightning up in the northern heights of the county- easing up now.

Yeah it's the aftermath of thing that l think about, will it cause a power cut, will my back garden flood etc. etc.

Beat me to it

Anyway, time to add thunderstorms to things I liked before getting a dog that are now a total pain.

Think we need WEEKS of this to get things back to normal levels in reservoirs.

Chastised Mrs Jakarta for mowing our lawn yesterday, she obviously knows far more about the garden than I do...

You can bet he left his converted loft window open as well

Brighton peppered with lightning around 5am this morning - hasn’t stopped raining yet

 

[The Clamp]

I normally work nights but I’m on a course all week that is 8am to 4pm. So in the mornings I find myself in a real funkle, all tossed about by odd sleeping times and fitful sleep, having those pre-wake dreams where you think you’ve already got dressed and had breakfast etc. Then this morning thunder and lightening broke the darkness at about 04:30. I was so disoriented, I didn’t know what was going on
I almost fell out of bed. Was like one of those ‘Nam flashbacks you see in films

Took me a minute to realise what was going on!
