Getting quite fed up with £25 per annum for Metogroup radar. Whenever anything gets interesting, ie. requiring radar, the server gets knocked out. They should spend my money on a new, bigger one. Disgraceful.
Theres a storm line running through our region.

Along with French imports that have made it across the channel.
Even estofex don't have an issue with that coming here. No severe but SB storms can often have louder thunder. People will argue with that but I find its true.
.. bit of cloud moving in here now. Storms have fired in Nantes, France, and near Brest and the rain is making its way into Cornwall on forecast radar. ...
I noticed the South Coast - Bournemouth - reporting 25C on Xcweather a couple of hours ago. I'm sure there will be spots with higher temps. Summer is upon us.
I put up a gazebo (well anchored) so I can make a cuppa and stay outside.. but out of the rain so much. And don't worry, the car (Faraday cage) will be right there if things get hairy. Looking forward to it.
I'm usually too enamoured to think of taking photos. Better for me if I catch a video of the storm. Built up locations are not always bad for photography, just need to get lucky and have a relatively overhead storm, the lightning contrasting with buildings often makes for dramatic pictures.
