Short and sharp hail storm here in Rye, the biggest hail I’ve seen for a long time. Nasty thunderstorm just went over with it. The hail scared her.

They do torture themselves in the mad thread dont they. Now getting charts that suggest a cold spell and arguing over how cold! it would be nice if we even had the chance to argue over any cold weather, another very dreary windy, wet day here. I had to pop into Hastings with the kids, went down earlier as I knew it was due to rain, quite glad I did, we were walking back to the car and it started to rain hard. I usually don’t mind the wind but it’s been relentless and I’m tired of listening to the howling it makes coming through the harbour.

Absolutely horrendous journey to work today, torrential rain and it’s so dark. I’m shocked there isn’t a weather warning out. The roads are are full of water

Lol I thought that was fireworks, cause some people did that again last night, just thought it was to far to hear the bang. I thought the same for a while but it was a storm, it went in for a good few hours, I also checked on my lightning map and was shocked to see a storm over the channel It is a beautiful but chilly day here it’s wonderful to see the sun.

I’ve been outside running about this evening and it’s been lightning for a good few hours over the coast. due to be very windy again

I’m curious why they didn’t put out a yellow rain warning for this evening, driving home from Work was horrendous, it was like driving on a very shallow lake.

I live on the coast and it hasn’t stopped howling, wind started to get back up around 5ish and seems to be getting worse. It has stopped raining which is a positive.

Is this headed our way again

Are you really? I think it’s 40mph winds and rain again, Jo Farrow posted something earlier but I don’t know if I’m confused

Is there another storm moving in on Saturday?

It’s howling along there now, lol

I’m on the harbour pretty much

I have to say that I’m a bit worried, I’m right on the coast on my own with my kids. I’m not looking forward to this. Sorry for sounding like a scared little girl

It’s horrible laying in bed listening to the rain splashing down from my balcony knowing that a mile up the road they are getting hit niches of snow. On the other side my boyfriend has got to drive from London back to his camp in Hampshire tonight so I need it not snow there

It’s been an odd day to be honest. A few time’s today it looked as if we were goi g to have heavy rain, even the radar suggested it but nothing came of it. We have had a bit of rain later this afternoon but no where near I thought and that they had forecast. We have had our back garden turfed and I still needed to give it a good watering because it wasn’t nearly enough rain.

We have a big mix here in Rye. It is mostly rain but then we get sleet then it goes to rain mixed in with big bits of snow, we have now just had hail for a few minutes. Im sure thats our lot for winter and because of the current situation maybe that’s not such a bad thing. The BBC app today has said that no rain is due ALL DAY. I never really use apps anymore but keep them for days like today just to see what they say. It’s interesting to see how odd they can be.

I Abdool love this nice weather. It gives me a chance to be able to get my kids out. Three of my children have asthma and one of them has bad respiratory problems. She’s under the care of the Evelina hospital in London. We have been going for walks along the river bank and up the sea. I live in Rye Harbour and it’s always packed full of people walking their dogs and enjoying the sea so it’s very odd. I’m not sure if I like the idea of cold weather now to be honest. It should be getting warmer not colder.

I was wondering if any one could answer this question I was slightly curious. As we are all aware of the current situation around the world, I wanted to known if now we have had a drastic drop in pollution levels around the world due to lockdowns will this have an effect on our weather a few months/years down the line??? The earth has had a lot of pollution for so long and the pollution levels have dropped fast I read. I know it’s always a good thing for us to have less pollution but i was just interested on its impact.

I have never know rain like it has done today, it just hasn’t stopped here all day and it’s been heavy all day. There are a massive amount of flood warnings out for here in Rye. I drove back from work and it was awful I’ve never seen roads so full of water. It’s unbelievable and it’s still raining. It’s the south East’s turn for flooding.

Has Jorge gone through here now. It’s a beautiful day here.

oh my god this relentless rain. It’s driving me mad. My son has football training tonight as well

Please send any type of white cold stuff this way, it would be nice to see. If not I want the sun so I can enjoy my new garden

I’m confused about Thursday apps roughly saying 5+ degrees here in rye could be 9+ but charts (some) mentioning snow

I was caught in that downpour and you were right the temperature just fell away. I think we might be the unlucky ones @SenlacJack

I don’t think I will get anything right down here. I know I sound very pessimistic but I don’t have elevation and I live right on the coast. It would make me smile just to see a snow flake on ANY of my weather apps. The Met off tells me I’m not going to get anything, no rain no sleet and 100% no snow. Good luck to you northerners (your mostly all more northern than me)
