    Rain last night on Hastings seafront with snow in Eastbourne and even 100 metres up in Hastings. Same today it seem. Moderate rain now.

    Just a couple of miles inland here in St Leonards on Sea and the rain turned to snow about 90 minutes ago. Light to begin with but now moderate and starting to settle on all surfaces.

    Gues what ??? It’s absolou chucking it down with rain here STILL, it’s been all day with no let up what so ever. ....

     

    Just goes to show how localised these events can be. Just a few miles away from you in Hastings/St Leonards on Sea  the heavy rain earlier turned to snow about an hour or so ago and it's still snowing. No chance of settling though.

    Stopped on the seafront in Hastings/St Leonards now. Will be all for tonight here. So much for 9pm til 4am!

    Half a centimetre on the wall... that's about it. Wasn't to be tonight but enjoy it whoever has a good amount!

    Still snowing here in St Leonards but just a light covering on all surfaces. It's been a bit breezy though and feeling cold as a result. Lost my tv satellite signal here in the last half hour, presumably weather related.

  4. This mornings early morning drive from St Leonards on Sea to a hospital appointment in Sidcup turned out to be less troublesome than I feared despite the weather.

    The worst part of the journey as always is the 20 or so mile single carriageway section of the A21 from Battle northwards. Despite heavier traffic than usual it was a relief to see drivers using common sense and slowing down in the conditions.

    Winds locally have been regularly gusting 30-40mph since 10am yesterday but rainfall has been nothing exceptional. I got back to the South Coast in time to enjoy watching a couple of surfers enjoying the waves at Rock-a-Nore in Hastings this afternoon.

    Its a South East weather event.

    It was a news article which mentioned a South East snow event which happened over 30 years ago, interesting though it was it hardly relevant to the current weather here in the South East !

    On that note, it's still wet and windy down here on the South Coast.  Quite probably the worst conditions we've had down here so far this Autumn.

  6. It's a bit breezy down here on  the South Coast this evening, winds gusting 30-40mph and blowing the rain in sideways but very mild temperature wise. 11.2c at this time of night in November is almost tropical.

    I've just been reading some interesting posts on another well known weather website and they are hinting at some potentially quite severe weather for southern coastal counties tomorrow (Saturday ).

    Might be worth keeping an eye on.

  7. Sitting in my back garden yesterday evening I enjoyed a 25 minute lightning display, the first since July 27th and only the 4th time this year in this area. Whilst the lightning was very close by and at times vivid there was very little thunder audible.

    A pleasant surprise at the end of what was a mild but properly autumnal day here on the South Coast.

  8. A very respectable maximum today of 16.2c locally despite being mostly cloudy. Sitting on the seafront in Hastings this afternoon it felt anything but Autumnal with no breeze and mostly clear blue skies just a few miles to the east.

    I've yet to record a frost here this Autumn, the closest call so far was 1.8c on October 31st. Nearby Herstmonceux reported -0.2c that night, making it the first frost there since March 29th if I'm not mistaken.

    I miss the shipping forecasts and listening to the recordings  of them help me relax and go to sleep.  As I was getting interested them they took it off. .......

    The shipping forecasts are still broadcast  daily on Radio 4  Katrine. Early morning and late evening :

    It's been another decent day down here on the South Coast, feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine and still no frost here so far...
