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

[Uh_huh_him]

The heavens opened at about 5am up in South London too, steady drizzle since 6.

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...

Don’t worry as per normal British weather , we WILL get weeks of it November to April.

Pretty sure my water butt is full again, and I'm pretty glad that we took the kids to London yesterday!

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

I was out to dinner last night and hadn't paid any attention to weather forecasts. Luckily I checked NSC before going to bed and saw this thread so checked the skylight on the conservatory and found it wide open - right above my home working setup. Without NSC may have woken up to a very soggy setup this morning.

Impressive sound and light storm over B Hill at 5 am for an hour or so…..constant rolling thunder and lightning flashes. Just what I needed after getting to bed at 1am after getting home from FGR

Good move, I have told this story before on here, so will make it shorter, I went to a chaps house in Hampstead Garden Suburbs a few years ago and installed new flooring throughout from his loft conversion down to and including the first floor. The poor fella went to work one fine and glorious morning, left his skylight open, sudden down pour and it flooded the loft conversion and through the 1st floor celling damaging paintwork, celling and flooring and various other items. He tried to claim on his insurance and they said nope because it was forecast as a chance of thunderstorms.

Certainly zero chance before 3pm I'd say.

Absolutely pouring here at the moment, and not due to stop until 2pm.

Outfield will be saturated.

Further proof, should any be needed, that NSC can be a force for good as well as evil

It's been raining near Horam for more than 6 hours now. Lovely.

 

[Madafwo]

Beat me to it

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

Out in it or did the dog freak out and shit the bed?

The worst thing is they can feel it long before we know about it so it goes on for hours for them, one thing I won't miss about Finn is how he was during Thunderstorms, our other dog Maddie doesn't give a monkeys. You're in for a treat around bonfire night.

It woke me up whenever it was this morning, quite worryingly I could smell burning after some of the strikes near us but our smoke/fire alarms weren't going off so I just rolled over and went back to sleep.

Woke him up and he definitely wasn't a fan. Calmed him down eventually by allowing him on to the bed, something I said I wouldn't do. I suspect it's "his" now. And then off for a walk in the rain to ensure he didn't shit in the house. He likes water and jumps in the sea voluntarily on walks. Me? Not so much.....

The go to for our dog when we get thunder and lightning, she bloody loves it as it’s a complete no no normally

Being a Min Pin (with dachshund in her) it’s a burrow under the duvet and happy as larry

 

[Is it PotG?]

A couple of rumblings and a bit of rain.

Still too bloody hot though.

 

[portslade seagull]

Thunder and lightning in Southwick but strangely no rain as yet

 

[BBassic]

Lovely.
