The big blob is over the Surrey Hills, but nothing falling…..

You’re in the wrong part of the SE then I think - we have had some awesome storms here (both wind in the Autumn and electrical in the summer) and add to that the snow streamers we have had some years (sadly not as often as I’d like) we definitely get extremes along the far SE coast.
I’ll gladly miss out on the storm; damaging to property and life isn’t fun. Ask anyone in Kent from October 1987!
Completely agree @lottiekent…some cracking events over the years in the SE….
I think ask anyone who remembers 87 across Sussex, Kent or Surrey will say it wasn’t fun in the weeks afterwards……. Where we lived in Haywards Heath was without electricity for 10 days…. Although, being at school at the time, there was a sense of adventure going out, helping cut up the trees….
In 87 everyone in the communities of every town, village, street helped out…. It greatly saddens me but not sure that would be the same today….

Is @TomSE12 running his winter weather comp this year?
-
Was an incredible amount of rain over the last few hours…. Stopped here in the Surrey hills about an hour ago, one big rumble of thunder…looks like it’s pivoting in the radar for a second shot and then dropping SE
-
As a slight aside on tonight’s rain…has anyone noticed issues with the Home and Dry app on their iPhone? Hasn’t worked properly for about 3 months for me…used to find it quite reliable
-
All moved off now…just left with heavy rain
-
Some cracking lightning and thunder here in the Surrey Hills tonight…

Definitely has moved off from here

Large heavy drops of rain here in the Surrey. Lightening and rumbles getting closer!!

Well…. Our final night in Port Isaac before trekking back up the A303 to Surrey…. Think it could be a bit hairy down here overnight!!
-
Well, the weather report from the North Cornwall coast for today couldn’t be any further from home….
Another beautiful Cornish summer’s day here…very respectable 22°c for much of the day in clear blue skies!
Picked my parents up at Bodmin Parkway this afternoon, as they are joining us for our second week in Port Isaac. They said the rain was torrential when they left Haywards Heath at 9:30 this morning…
Anyway folks… tomorrow we go on a boat trip… we will get to see the dolphins and pilot whales seen every day for the last week… the forecast suggests the weather will be kind so hopefully tomorrow evening I’ll be able to post a few sea based photos rather than a contented seagull, or two

Enjoying the beginning of our second week in Port Isaac…lovely to be away from The Surrey Hills for a while!
You couldn’t have wished for better weather last week, although at times it was a little too muggy!
There was no calamitous breakdown here last night.. not much evidence of anything other than a light shower this morning. A dull morning led to beautifully clear summer skies along the North Cornwall coast by mid afternoon…was pleasantly warm (22°c) walking around Padstow and then much the same on our return to Port Isaac early evening.The forecast here looks much the same for the next few day it stays the same!!
The first photo was what I believed was the last decent sunset last night in PI harbour.. very similar this evening! The others show the fantastic scenery we’ve enjoyed this week!

My parents in Haywards Heath said there was a heavy downpour at about 5ish? We’re enjoying two weeks in Port Isaac, Cornwall where it has been another belting day today…although very hot upstairs in the house tonight!

Well...MetO saying -4 tonight whilst Beeb saying -10 for Holmbury St Mary tonight.... and my watch saying it’ll get to -7... mmm quite a range.
If the radar is right we might also get a snowy surprise as well? It looks like there’s some prolonged intensity as the direction changes

I honestly don't think posts about 'beating off' to weather presenters are appropriate, certainly not on this thread.
I completely agree with you @kate1 I’ve literally just sent my message to the mods, in a reply a comment a made earlier today.
I had expressed my unhappiness about a comment made about another member last night and other comments previously, Yet that comment was removed instantly!In private I expressed my unhappiness about comments made in this forum and was told that it would not be allowed!! However, clearly “beating off” over a weather girl is acceptable!
However, in the same time I’m writing my response those same messages are probably being removed to prevent any repercussions!

Jumped in ere coz if I post this in mod thread there will be meltdowns... via other region members!.. anyway in a nutshell our quadrant @@south east-east anglia are modelled in some data as mild sector geographical... I’ll illustrate why this is an evolutionary trait that is highly likely miss-modelled at this juncture..(later) and in such infer =incursion.. we’ll likely be the firing line points of this incoming flow..... some notable weather...@ incoming!!!!!!
Love reading your posts @tight isobar... they do make perfect sense when read a couple of times!
