This afternoons snow already melted in Hunstanton but still a few flakes fluttering about and the chill from the wind is brutal

A nice covering of snow everywhere but the pavement/roads in Hunstanton right down to the sea Nice little surprise as I thought we were between the north risk area and the south risk area this week

Me too, a few snowflakes on my weather app for us, back in Kings Lynn at the moment and will be up all night staying with a family member who’s in the QE hospital. Radar and lamppost watch it is, a nice little flurry would be great to lift the moods

hope i don’t get a telling off for off topic posting but just had to say a little thankyou for all the knowledgable posts and updates on here, currently on my 3rd night staying with my grandad who’s on end of life care in the hospital and this threads been a big play in getting me by, obviously aided by what could be incoming so yeah, thankyou!

The hot wind is very strange, it’s making sitting in the shade quite unpleasant as you get blasted by the heat with each gust

38.4c here, beating yesterday’s 37.4c peak cant believe that even here is about to possibly break the previous UK record.. these temperatures are so widespread it’s surreal! It’s not just one or two isolated 38c+, it’s quickly becoming large swaths of the country

although i’d love to see the flashing continue as the storms keep coming up and passing just east of me i sadly have to be up for work in 4 hours good luck to those possibly in the firing line, and stay safe anyone still out chasing!

We only managed one storm last year, and that consisted of about two flashes and one low rumble.. so already miles better for my locality

seems to be a lot easier to view the lightning once it’s cleared then beforehand? barely a flash until it was very close by and then it went mental overhead, and ever since it’s moved away i’m seeing frequent lightning in the distance now. also just heard a siren whiz past, unrelated to the weather i hope

i’d say wait for it… i thought the same but everytime it goes dead for a minute the big bright flashes spark back up

definitely isn’t, i’m seeing flashes every 5-10 seconds now from my north-east.. more then when it was overhead!

nice little show here, a flash and bang every 20 seconds or so first decent storm since i moved here a year ago last week!

59mph wind speed at Mumbles Head according to xc weather map

Stay safe, hopefully that 71mph is the extent for you

this is close to or over my location and it’s quite scary, i have an hour walk to work between 12-1pm tomorrow, will i be able to even make it? we had brief 70mph gusts for several minutes in a localised “tornado” in late october and that was manic here.. not sure I want to experience anything stronger or more prolonged then that!
