Norfolk Sheep

Don't know how accurate that is but I can guarantee there has been zero storm activity in and around Norwich, not even a moderate shower

Anywhere south of Bristol - The Wash looks to be devoid of anything today Thought that was yesterday's weather....

Seriously terrifying - how did you not turn the air blue? FWIW the telegraph pole near my sister's house (she lives up a bridleway near Haslemere) was struck - her nearest neighbour had just about everything fried, including exploding lightbulbs and he was chucked out of his office chair She said she staggered backwards when it happened and felt quick sick afterwards. Somehow they only lost the Sky box (no great loss ) and the landline was only sorted yesterday. I know we often wish for storms like this but.....hmm......

Some exceedingly heavy showers between 12 - 2pm - got caught on the southern bypass round Norwich - visibility zero. Haven't seen rain like that for months!!

JEEEEZUS!!!!! I've just brained myself on the ceiling !!!!!!

Another quality video Definitely slightly envious!

Ye Gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank heavens we didn't have anything like that here!!!

ooh lovely captures Dave It's really strange, but I don't think I've actually seen a proper flash of lightning for at least 5 years, and that includes today

Interesting post from Ian Williams on UKWW (at around 4pm) "According to the ATD there has been roughly 8000 strikes in the South and East in the last 2 hours, with a peak of 419 in a 5 min spell at 1505 to 1510 bst" That's a shed load of lightning...

Still seeing the odd flicker here too - bit odd as the radar has just dissolved into moderate rain. Front should clear through in the next hour or so, wish it would hurry up as I need to shuffle my sheeples round

Yep still doing it's stuff here too

Thanks Paul and John Had a northerly flow til about 2pm, then everything whipped round to the WSW, now I can see low level cloud racing back in from the NE. Can't complain, had almost 2hrs worth of storm so far and just now some house shaking thunder

[Thunder etc still continuing, albeit a little less frequent. Torrential rain though, driveway flooded as per usual but don't think I'll paddle over to clear the outflow just yet

More thunder, and heavy rain - me mate's turned up to fix the annex boiler, I had to drag him out of his van

A sort of embryo pasting har har!! Nothing like further south though (after June 2009 my expectations are rather high )

well that was nice, almost continuous thunder for 10 mins, some nice pink lightning and a bit of heavy rain. Moved off very quickly though, but very welcome crumb from the rich man's table - even lost TV signal and power for a brief period

Yep, looking more hopeful now OK, just heard thunder, I swear it was! You should get something too

Same here, although that teensy cell near Ipswich might hop over the border, depends what effect this ghastly cloud cover has on it.

Which is where I was yesterday...oh well, too late now. I think I'll do some gardening instead

Actually I was wondering whether in fact the front could clear eastward without crossing Norfolk and Suffolk - i.e. just progress NE and clear into the N Sea around the Humber area, trailing a few light showers behind it over the far west of the region. Sounds about right

Me too, there's absolutely nothing in Norfolk, the skies haven't changed colour or appearance since 10am this morning...

Knowing our luck, 0% Whoever said Thetford was the lightning capital of England was sadly mistaken...(ok, he said it about 20 years ago ) we might get some nice thundery rain though

That's a nice positive comment Steve After yesterday I'm as nauseous as the proverbial exotic bird and I expect you are too Still, listening to the thunder at Wimbledon is a bit of a bonus (says she, clutching at a very short straw)

Somone tell me that the far East is likely to get even just a rumble, otherwise I'll have to load up the van and go looking for the damned stuff again Gutted? You bet.

Not really hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
