Thunderstorms approaching !!!!!

[dougdeep]

According to SouthEast news this morning, 2 houses caught fire when struck by lightening, in Kent.

My house was struck by darkening.

They all seem to be dying out. Unless I slept through one, there was nothing in Shoreham.

That's Apple for you.

There was a bit of lighting on my way to work this morning (about 2am) but that was about it.

 

[ExmouthExile]

We got about 10 pathetic flashes of lightning at 2am this morning, followed by some barely audible thunder - disappointed! That'll be it for this year

 

[bluenitsuj]

Is it still approaching - this all sounds like one of the transfer rumour threads.

Nope, there was diddley squat in Shoreham, still sticky and humid

A line of small but potent showers is developing in the Channel - East Sussex looks in the firing line

With the main area of thunder pushing up through France, and with temps increasing I'd expect showers to start popping up all over the place. On the coast there though we're very reliant upon showers crossing the channel or extreme instability mid channel, as convective showers usually only start over the land (for obvious reasons).

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Having said that the radar is now showing 'streamers' mid channel - either side of where i am, so we've hit the threshold for stability

Bugger all in Littlehampton, as there was last night. Got some last night from work about 2:45am and it was still as humid as hell.

Most of the streamers fizzle out or head NE at the moment. It was heartbreaking as an allotment gardener seeing all those thunderstorms that bubbled up North of us and kept going North. I fear we are doomed to another 3 days of sweat.

Thundering and pouring currently here in Eastbourne!

you're right under that Eastern streamer. This is like snow watch in reverse - with the streams from the South, not the North East.

 

[edna krabappel]

Bugger all in Worthing and most of Sussex so far, so still oppresssively hot today and bone dry. More watering needed,then :-(

If you'd been down on the seafront at about 1am you'd have seen spectacular flashes of fire coloured lightning over to the east.

I've never seen that before: how does lightning appear orange? I saw some forked lightning and also just flashes behind the clouds that lit them up orange too.

At that point in time were you off your face on cider and acid while skinny dipping ?... only asking, like ?

It's slowly edging our way, but decaying at it comes. The main energy seems to the to the East.
