Sussex does seem to exist in some kind of weird Lightning Exclusion Zone.

Tomorrow might be some thunderstorms rattling through, going west to east so not the monsters we can get from France but also no channel to kill those off.
Simply not true, as far as I can tell - see http://www.torro.org.uk/lightning_info.php#5 - although the southern parts of West Sussex do seem to have done a deal with the devil...

Having stopped watching BBC I now watch Euronews and Metro world show all the lightning strikes, I am amazed at how many have strikes across the globe. I wonder if this is another example of global warming or has always been the case.

I’d say that just about looks right.

Few rumbles in BN2. Although I'm having a dump so it's hard to tell if it's weather related.

Always bloody misses Cheshire too. I love a good storm, but they just don't seem to happen here.
The bluebell woods are pretty shit as well
Never hear any bloody cuckoos either
Beer's quite cheap though
And the mushy peas are out of this world

Think I delay watering the plants for an hour or so, just in case the storm heads west.

The ten million pound houses are quite nice, too
Nevertheless, I acknowledge your struggle

Threatening rumbles over Eastbourne, then more threatening rumbles and black sky, then even more rumbles, then a light sprinkle of rain and the clouds have all buggered off...

Had a big storm here in Thames Ditton last week. Had a bolt of lightening hit about 2 meters from our back door. It made probably the loudest noise i've ever heard that my ears were left ringing and i was inside. The brightness was incredible and the tree was smoking. My 4 year old was out there only 5 minutes before. I have always loved a storm and enjoy going out in them but now have a new found respect for the seriousness of storms.
