    That band from The Netherlands seems to be breaking up on its way across the North Sea. Not feeling confident of anything other than a few more hours of cold drizzle.

    Beautiful anvil visible to my SW.
  3. Wivenswold
    I can see a huge tower to my SW. At a guess I'd say it was over towards Upminster way. Hopefully they will be getting closer.

    24.4oC here with dewpoint at 12oC. Sea breeze has really kicked in over the last 10 minutes which is probably better news for placed inland in Essex than it is for us. We're right on the very edge of what could be termed Home Counties or the South East. So not entirely convinced we'll see anything.

    Lightning to the North of me over Colchester.
  6. Wivenswold
    Finally....lightning towards Mersea Island. It's on.

    That second cell appears to be just rain too! Teaming it down now.
  8. Wivenswold
    That cell is to the south of Colchester now and it's not flashing, just very heavy rain.
  9. Wivenswold
    Big cell over North Sea has charged. Here we go.

    About to sign off and head for bed. The one crossing the Channel and heading for Colchester has eased a little but no telling what it'll do when it hits land. We've had about 2 hours of heavy rain so I fear many rivers across Essex may burst their banks soon.
  11. Wivenswold
    Yep, getting faint flashes to the SW so it's probably Maldon way.
  12. Wivenswold
    Wind is howling here now. Had a flash about 5 miles South of here, that should be heading to Chelmsford if it builds further. Rain is pounding against the windows.
  13. Wivenswold
    Hmm, just had a rumble of thunder and both known cells are out of range now. Surely not number 3?
  14. Wivenswold
    Update, several flashes from the new cell which is heading for somewhere between Chelmsford and Braintee. 2 storms in 30 minutes for me, possibly a record.
  15. Wivenswold
    It's not taking much for it to go bang tonight. That cell between Margate and Clacton in the Thames Estuary has just charged. Lighting to the south from a completely new cell and hail here in Wivenhoe.
  16. Wivenswold
    That was pretty spectacular for 10 minutes. Now heading West towards Braintree/Halstead. Hope it keeps it together for you inlanders.
  17. Wivenswold
    Direct hit. Torrential rain, lightning every 15 seconds. Seemingly from nowhere.

    http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/34978.aspx Unbelieveable that the EA's flood warning system is having essential maintenance right now. We must have gone 4 months without a flood warning. I can only assume that it's overloaded, I suspect heads will roll if it's not up soon.

    Torrential here in Essex. If it carries on developing like this it could be an interesting evening.

    Hi Speed67, no we don't have a hosepipe ban. Veolia Tendring is the only water company in this part of Britain that's not imposed a ban. Not that we've needed hosepipes recently. Look! Sunshine.

    It may have just been heavy rain in Herts but it was gale force here on the coast and is still gusty. Last time we had prolonged rain in this area like this was 2000. This is an event for us out here.
  22. Wivenswold
    I reckon it must have been the extreme coastal areas that suffered the highest winds. Being a cynic, I would only expect it to make the national news if it affects one of the large cities or there's some footage of trucks on their sides on a major motorway.
  23. Wivenswold
    It looked like the main band was starting to ease off from the South over the English Channel on Rain Today radar, then it completely reloaded on the latest frame. Loads more to come. Cracking sounds (literally) in the garden.
  24. Wivenswold
    Blowing a gale here on the Essex coast. Just done a quick damage check in the garden before total darkness. One small tree down and a fence panel soon to follow by the looks of things. Lights flickering too. I knew it was going to be a bit nasty but this is awful at the moment.
  25. Wivenswold
    For those, like me, who desperately want something warmer, why not pretend it's Janaury and watch those GFS northerlies disappear with each run.
