Decided not to head to the beach with the drone, just don't think it's with waiting around for now. Just feels to cool. Had few spots of rain earlier. Nothing really looking that exciting at the mo is there really. Shame.

Looks like Brighton is in the crosshair...
That's okay they can have the starters we're have the main course later tonight early hours

Proper chilly wind mixing out down here now too
-
Still keeping an eye on that direction of flow. Still looks far more NNE to me especially on current latter frames on windy .com.
I recon IOW area could do okay out of this. Going to get very interesting later!
I'm not convinced the storms are going to go as far East as being shown. Soon find out.
-
If you play back windy. com direction of cloud travel the past 2 hours it's much more NNE than I thought it would be. Unless this is meant to switch more NE later?

Looking at the cloud direction of travel at the moment on windy. com looks to be much more NNE than NE. If that remained the same I'd be quite happy with that for now.

Feels like humidity is climbing rapidly here in Canford Cliffs. Doesn't look great for our location for the storms now though but never know we could still get lucky!

That looks very promising! Like the look of that!

Make sure you have enough food for 4 days, coz I'm not convinced tomorrow night holds anything of value storm wise here, unless you are prepared to chase it as it goes up country..
Not convinced either but hoping to see something far out to sea at least. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Dan for all that useful information.
The music you are using for your video did you get that in a pack as I’ve often seen on Facebook music packages coming up on adverts
I want to do a presentation most likely next year Covid pending I just wondered where you got your music from.
thanks
There are actually a few sites I use for cinematic music I'm on phone at the moment but will send them to you when I'm on my laptop later. Think one of them is bensounds he has some free ones. Can't think of the names of the others I use till I see see links.

Can I ask a maybe silly question but if some really good thunderstorms move in midweek is drone footage possible from a height for spectacular footage..
As long as the winds remain reasonable andno driving rain. Will have to time it coming in. Can legally go 120m high so a good height to see.

Do you use auto channel select or manual channel. Does seem to bounce around on the channel sentence between red and green.
also I was struggling to swap it from 5.8 to 2.4 ghz as I always found 2.4 would be smoother and fly further previously.
If I'm in a busy area I use auto with the Yagi yeah, just make sure you use the correct version Yagi as there are 2.
I'm quite new to video editing so hopfully will improve the more I do it.
2.4 is for better range but I find when over water the 5.8 is better for me. No idea why!
The new Mini 2 has so much better range with the ocusync 2.0 but I've heard it "could" be upgraded to 3.0 which will be amazing

Great video. Did you take off at Wytch? You can see a lot of my fishing spots.. At 1:34 Redhorn point on the right. And on the left, closest to the chain ferry is Gravel point. A good place for bait digging on low tide.
Yes, we were moored up by Wytch, got some good footage of the oil works not seen in this video but also didn't realize on the island opposite there is also an oil well in operation I caught on camera that's hidden by a luxury house.

Got a good feeling this time, think pretty much anywhere has a chance! Fingers crossed!

I have one too! Combo pack. Perfect little drone!
Yeah great drone! Was out on a boat Saturday with it. The new Mini 3 is coming out this year! I skipped the 2, but apparently the new one coming is going to be epic. So selling the Mini 1 Soon. This is me on Saturday just gone...

Thanks for the reminder! I completely forgot about that.. I've been dying to get some footage from high up with my drone, of something rolling in from the South, so hopefully this is a good chance.
Will have to time it right with the winds or rain though, but hoping for some decent footage as it comes up from France! I have got the DJI Mavic Mini so can take off from the back garden now too!

Now personally I like the look of that, time to go find a camera. it be a late night or early morning storm chasing if this hint is any good...
Yep think we got a good chance! My drone is charged and ready to go!

What the hell is going on with our weather? Just had snow again and its 8oC! How is that even possible!
-
What a beautiful day today! Where's the extreme cold gone everyone was raving about? Again goes to show never bother looking beyond 5 days out. It's a complete and utter waist of precious valuable time. It's actually quite worrying the amount of people who look at model runs 4 times a day and explore charts or even bother to comment on charts 10 days out. It's quite frankly mind boggling. There must be rather alot who dont bother to work who post model charts all day long.

Im not looking at the models this even but thought I'd look in and have a quick look at some comments then noticed someone called Jimbob saying 15oC in the south. I did have to chuckle at that one.
