    Same here! Some very light blue echoes close to me on the radar, but nothing that looks threatening. However the sky is very dark and we've had a few deep rumbles.

    Half an hour ago we had what looked on the radar like a serious downpour pretty much right over us - and still nothing! Max temp of 33 today, so about 1 degree down from yesterday. Now 31. Not sure whether the Surrey rain is coming for us in North Kent of whether we'll get our own home-grown cells popping up....

    Overcast and humid all morning here after the best lightning display I've ever seen last night (with monsoon-like rain)! Gradually brightened up this afternoon, with the sun burning off the cloud by about 4pm. Beautiful blue sky now, but with some impressive cloud building about half an hour ago.

    We had quite a full-on storm about 2.20am that lasted about 30 minutes then some random flashes of lightning and rubles of thunder every 10 mins or so as it edged away towards 3am. I didn't get up as I'm ill, but the lightning looked particularly bright - I'm sure it would have been amazing to see.

    Yes, this is where I'm from, near Birchington. Very sad.

    Oh Tom, I know that hill well, I only live a couple of minutes away - it's a steep one! (The R11 bus takes you up the hill to the front door of the hospital) Bored with this chilly weather now, very much looking for some warmth!

    As a child, I remember having quite deep, laying snow about 3-4 miles inland from Deal a few times - enough for the schools to close. This was in the 80's though!

    An absolutely beautiful morning - blue skies, some high cloud and the birds are singing! The sun is strong, although there's a notable chilly breeze. Currently 13.4 in my garden. I can't believe we're about to have a temperature drop of around 15 degrees - I'm a snow lover but come mid March, and especially on days like these, I'm looking for Spring to establish itself properly.

    Ditto at work in Greenhithe right now - everything is covered in a sheet of ice.

    Morning all. Just catching up on overnight posts - last I saw before going to bed was that last night's HIRLAM was the model that seemed to be on the money in terms of where the precip was falling in the SE, and where the French 'blob' was! Light snow again this morning, but I can't see much more coming up from France. Is it meant to intensify over the channel or do we think we'll get less than we first anticipated? Met Office changed from heavy snow to light snow for my area until 6pm, but I can't see where that's going to come from...

    It's pretty much stopped for me now?!

    I'm a bit confused as to which way the showers on the radar are heading - they've been heading East uo the Thames most of the day, have they now changed to a more SW'ly direction?
  13. EWS
    I should have said NW Kent (although I know Tonbridge etc are currently under a shower). Maybe it's just my little locale that's mssing out then!

    The 3 hour radar here looks promising for SE London / N Kent (who are currently missing out on the Mid-Kent bonanza!) https://www.buienradar.nl/wereldwijd/europa/zoom/3uurs?lat=58.298&lon=-1.717

    I woke up to a covering where I live just outside of Orpington and have driven to Greenhithe where there is literally nothing!

    I know, I was out this morning and in sheltered spots, the sun was lovely and warm and I've just been pottering in the garden, securing some plant fleeces - so strange to think that in a matter of hours, it's all change.
  18. EWS
    It was - I'd just returned home from Manchester on the train and it began snowing hard as I arrived in Orpington on the Sunday evening - it settled very quickly and snowed pretty much all night and the following morning, for sure. That was probably the thickest snow I've seen in the 15 years I've lived here.

    I think mine was on a Sunday come to think of it - it was at Queen Mary's but a private company were operating the MRIs. Yes, I completely mid-read your post, so luckily Sunday should be no probs weather-wise for you (only stupidly cold!).
  20. EWS
    I had an MRI at Sidcup, Tom - they gave me a folder with a list of music so that I could choose what I wanted to listen to inside the scanner! All the best for the scan, I have feeling your journey might take a little longer that it did this week.

    Beautiful sky this evening
  22. EWS
    Agreed - for the past few days (and this morning when I last checked at 7.45am before leaving the house), both BBC weather and the Met Office had the rain holding off until early - mid afternoon - 10.15am it started here, while I was out and about. Couldn't have been more wrong.
  23. EWS
    Yes, it's really dark (and purple!) - We've had everything over the past 12 hours apart from snow!
  24. EWS
    Not Bexley, but it's been snowing steadily in Orpington for a couple of hours - the roads are slushy and it's accumulating slightly on fields, cars, roofs etc.
  25. EWS
    I'm surprised we didn't get more snow - I know it was always going to be marginal for us, and our chances increased with every run yesterday but at my elevation (112m), it's usually a very sweet spot. Even now, it's just drizzle!
