    The Estofex forecast released for Friday to Saturday is intriguing... European Storm Forecast Experiment - ESTOFEX WWW.ESTOFEX.ORG

    Yep - a few cracks of lightning and thunder here in Reigate. Storm number 3 in as many weeks. So far 2022 is being very kind to my (normally) stormless zone! Lightning looked to be about cloud base and up. I don't think we had any ground contact.

    Reigate has its second storm of the year! Not a bad affair for a typical UK storm, 4:00pm. Plenty of very visible 'forked' lightning, most around the cloud base and up. It even managed to assemble a patchy shelf cloud as it arrived and looked like there was a vague, lazy rotation in the structure, though I could be wrong. An active cell, many flashes and lots of thunder. Nothing to shout about but very satisfying to watch!

    Reigate! We got plenty of elevated lighting with some good displays. One thumping hit into the centre of the town (hopefully not striking Pizza Express), and three minutes of continuous lightning and rolling thunder at 11:33. It's still rumbling on, but seems to be easing for the time being despite the bright bow echo to the east of us. A good session at last, in the storm desert known as Reigate.

    Storm arriving in Reigate. It seems fairly active, too.
  6. StormLoser
    The dome of doom. Yep - I mustn't pre-think this too much!

    I am beginning to hope Reigate might see some action other than bonfires and quarrelling neighbours!

    Screen capture from Saint-Germain sur Ay web cam at 8:56 just now!

    Not impressed with this so far. I'm siding with Estofex tonight: heavy rain and squally winds. I even took extreme measures and shut the greenhouse door. We're ready in Reigate - just bypass us as usual!

    Happy 21st! I hope your wish comes true. Don't get legless... (as in the photo...)

    I am indifferently watching the radar as a slender line of decaying and dull-looking showers amble towards Reigate. I don't know if they have enough 'oomph' to keep going. So...perhaps tomorrow? I live in hope...
  12. StormLoser
    I have to sympathise and agree with you. I have genuinely witnessed a storm coming from the south, collapsing, carefully circling Reigate to the east, before resuming its activity as it moves north. People like us are fated.
  13. StormLoser
    I'm sure you're all delighted to know that in Reigate we have.... .... drizzle.
  14. StormLoser
    Interesting sky on the Eastbourne Webcam.

    You didn't eat the book. Fancy leaving all that nutritious stuff! Chicken and chips here. And now watching the Channel developments with interest...

    Hmmm. I see the exports from France are already splitting. One lot to go east of Reigate, and one lot to go west. Perhaps I should retire to a Tibetan monastery.
  17. StormLoser
    Looks like you did well to the west of me! As expected, we just got a dusting of rain in Reigate. However, I am more hopeful of today.
  18. StormLoser
    I'm not expecting much in the Reigate area tonight. There's still a solid high pressure ramp to the east and my gauge is staying pretty steady. So it's a very dry situation, and clear skies out here in the wild east. It would be nice to have some rain, but maybe Sunday or next week. For those of you who see stuff - enjoy!
  19. StormLoser
    Thanks for the forecast, Nick. Well, rain is always welcome in the desert formerly known as Surrey. Let's hope we get some of that and anything else is a bonus.

    Coming out of hibernation in storm-averse Reigate, I see Saturday night looks vaguely interesting. The Cutty Sark comes to mind, too....
  21. StormLoser
    It'll fill that pond up!
  22. StormLoser
    Heavy rain and a bit of thunder and lightning near Reigate. One fed up cat. She wants to go out.
  23. StormLoser
    Oh! We just had several almighty flashes of lightning and loud thunder here in Reigate as the front passed through! Forked lightning with one crack right overhead. Nice gift towards the end of the season!
  24. StormLoser
    Nice sky-filling forked lightning! And it's now heading north. I get the feeling the rest is likely to be rain with the occasional "lucky flash". I assumed today would bring nothing. How nice to be pleasantly surprised! And there's more brewing in the Channel, too.
  25. StormLoser
    Oh! We're back in action in Reigate!
