I photographed that one from Harlow, Essex, it went East of me. Amazing structure.

At this late stage I never look at the models and predictions; it's pointless really.
Far more fun to watch the sat/radar/sferics and have camera gear at the ready.
Just hope my camera doesn't pack up like it did the last time (turned out I'd spilt a strand of tobacco in the memory card slot! :D )-

One tower has just shot up on satellite south of London. Heavy rain in a very localised area on radar, making a beeline straight for me in Hailsham :)

1982
There was 90 mm of rain in two hours at Wooton Bassett (Wilts) on the 2nd. 92 mm of rain at Cheshunt (Herts.) and 61mm at Enfield on the 4th. Cheshunt then had a further 35mm of rain on the 5th (that meant twice the normal monthly rainfall in two days).
I remember '82 well enough, I lived in Cheshunt at the time. It quite literally got as dark as night. I was terrified.
It's a funny thing but my Nan lived in a caravan park in Wootton Bassett back then too :D -
What a time for my camera to pack up :(

Rain from the big mushroom just started here in Hailsham, E Sussex. Radar looks like it will be hammering down here shortly.

Paul thinks he is American!
Well I don't know about younger people here but I still prefer to use fahrenheit. I don't know how it is now as I don't have a tv, but the BBC always used both Celsius and fahrenheit when I was a kid.

I have exactly the same showing on my weather app.
They're next to useless though, fit only for a sewer.
The best thunderstorm I experienced was at a time where my weather app said it was meant to be sunny.
My 20yr old Nokia 3310 (refurbished and looking gorgeous) says "what's an app?" :D Someone handed me a "smart" phone once to make a call and I just had to hand it back, couldn't work the thing.
I just watch the radar, sat and lightning on my big old pc screen and then head out when it starts to look promising.
I like to leave Irfanview running while I'm out capturing screenshots every 30 secs so I can make a lightning timelapse afterward, but more often than not the storms cut the power.-

Will be heading to Pevensey Bay as per usual, with my old D90, Sigma 17-70 with chipped glass, and my now dodgy and blurred left eye, should be fun.

Sooo no one not seeing the cells building up in the Channel the past 20mins ?
Was sat on the beach at Pevensey from 10pm til midnight, watching distant lightning on the French coast. Had to leave eventually as my friend needed the loo and the buggers had padlocked the disabled facilities!
Noticed it had started crossing the Channel by the time we got home.-

It’s easy for me I’m only 2 mins walk from the prom.
Blowing virtual raspberries at ya!
Just 5 years ago I'd have jumped on my mountain bike and pedalled it down there, not so fit now unfortunately.-

Will film what I can from the prom
Watching the lightning from the back garden in Hailsham. Will be bu**ered if I'm going out again today after the fun and games at the Co-Op. Got so angry my left eye actually drifted out of alignment before snapping back in place...that's a new one.
Anyway back on topic...hoping we catch something decent tomorrow, even rain alone will be welcomed at this stage.-

Seems to be spawning a few extra cells perhaps? Wish it was darker, would probably just be able to see a few flashes
Well, with luck we will, even if it's just a Kent Clipper. Hoping for more cells to bubble up to the West of that.

Finally pushing out into the Channel.

Yes, relying on French imports is probably the best bet for Kent/East Sussex. We only need 149,440,000 calories for Kent alone, to break the cap of just 22 j/kg. That's the equivalent of 649,739 pints of Stella.
Does this mean I have to go without my beer tonight and pour it in the Channel? Hmm, it's a tough one...

Now going to go out and photograph the views out to sea and around and see what’s out there (prepare for nothing lol)
Way too hot for me. I'll be down to Pevensey though this evening if a light show is in order.
-
As always, from my location 8 miles from the coast, I'll be looking to France for my action.
We tend not to get "home-grown" here; they always start just a few miles North and then head Northwards.-

Been watching that clinging to the French coast for hours. Think it's finally broken its moorings and gradually pulling out into the Channel. Might be worth a journey to the beach even it's for a distant light show.
-
Watching this line forming in France, moving Northwards.

Just spent an hour sat on the beach at Pevensey and watched the lightning out in the Channel. Lovely red moon to go with the pink lightning. A few distant booms. Looks like it's fizzling now.
