Heathrow flights routing directly over Barnehurst (SE London) unusual for this time of day. I'm guessing they are avoiding something out there. Glorious sun here now
I am never more certain of the chance of a storm than when I look in here at lunchtime and see the morning crew have written them off. Next few hours could prove interesting for us South Easterners then
Yup 12.30am it got lively in Barnehurst. More of a lightshow than anything. My little one and wife slept right thru the thunder which is unusal for them both. I meanwhile was up at the window looking like a peeping tom . Lasted 35mins or so.
There it goes again. Not close enough to window to really appreciate it so no idea what sky is looking like. Lovely sound though. Rounding off the final hour of the working week nicely
Have to love the weather. Everybody was an expert yesterday and we saw very little. Today, very few talking up storm chances and yet here we are with it exploding all around us. Who'd be a forecaster. Enjoy
Have to chuckle.
