It's a mix of sleet and snow in Shoreham at he moment.
Looking on the bright side, after some below-average months for rainfall, yesterday and today are redressing things somewhat!
According to this, we maxed out with a 59mph gust just after 01.00.

Just clearing northwards from here now. An insane 90 minutes of continuous lightning and thunder followed by torrential rain. If you're north of here - watch out, this is very intense!
Incredible - 1.5 hours in now, and continuous lightning and thunder, and intensified rainfall for the last 30 minutes. The biggest storm here for years.
Out cutting the hedge this morning, the sun was warm - almost spring-like, no wind and 9 degrees. More cloud now and breeze picking up - change is on the way.
...and temperature has climbed from 3.5 C this morning to 9.5 C now. Looks like it's levelled off now.
Been watching for a while but thought it was a good night to bring one or two reports....
