Had 2 rumbles from a storm that passed pretty nearby tonight. Not sure if that's enough to get me completely out of the club, but I'll put my shoes and coat on...
Quite an inactive cell this one, only heard two rumbles so far. Both IC I'd say, as all the nearest ones on the detectors are out of earshot. Still, my first thunder of 2017!
Had quite a quick, heavy shower around 1:00pm today, I did hear what may possibly have been a rumble but highly doubt it, and it was far more likely to have been a lorry going over a speed bump outside of my school!
Quite a seemingly potent little cell going off down in Hampshire right now as well.
I'm not sure, that storm in France does seem to have quite a bit of momentum behind it, we might get a rumble or two in the extreme East of Kent
Actually, not so sure, it seems to be heading NE towards Belgium now...
Been very humid all day today, with some unstable looking skies. Thinking that anything electrical tomorrow will be a Kent Clipper and that here will just be rain, but we shall see!
Further to what's been said about storms in Europe over the past couple of days, earlier, Blitzortung was showing an almost unbroken line of lightning from Barcelona to Hamburg! Incredible stuff!!
The import over Kent seems to be weakening. Hasn't put out anything electrical for ages. Think that was my only hope (albeit slim) for tonight. Calling it a bust.
Good idea about the new thread if things do get exciting later.
Little bit of AC round here now, and the sun has been out virtually all day, so surface heating could potentially play a part here.
My weather station is reading a toasty 24.8C but it tends to read a few degrees high, so the actual temperature is probably around 17-18C
Some high level Mackerel clouds apperearing here now, and also what may be a tower or two far off in the West towards London, but it's very hazy so hard to tell for sure.
