Well for now at least, the cold front is just cloud, no rain on it here at all.
No rain here either, but got woken by gusts of wind last night.

Wowsers, that thing appeared fast!
Too far east for me unfortunately unless something develops further west, good luck to anyone in the firing line
Had a near miss last night. As I lay in bed unable to sleep, I did not see or hear anything. At about 3.15am, I looked out and everywhere was bone dry.

Thunder every day you say? Booking my flight right now...
Every other day. There were still a number of thunder-free days.

I also used to be scared of storms when I was young. Went on holiday to Switzerland in August when I was 13 - not a good choice of destination from that point of view. There was thunder almost every other day.

I will very soon be living near you, Eagle Eye, to Hamstreet to be close to my wife's, Heather's family.
After retiring, we moved from Bulford to Pagham to be near to my old dad but he has since died.
Before we married, Heather lived for a long time in Great Chart and Ashford. We married in Great Chart Church.
I know little of Woodchurch as I have driven through it as opposed to stopping there. We know Hamstreet much better as Heather's oldest brother lived there for many years before dying of covid 2 1/2 years ago, but his widow still lives there.

stats don't tell the whole story of a season esp if you weren't alive to see or remember it and of course its also swayed by where you were living at the time
Very true. I have read other people's comments about certain seasons being good/indifferent/poor and have disagreed with them.

Useful rain here, not too heavy.

8 years ago right now, many of us were absolutely loving life! Anticipating those deep distant rumbles and endless distant flashes to be then getting hammered by hail and epic CG’s, some turning night time to daylight for a split second.
In 2015, 8 years ago, I was living in Bulford near Amesbury. I moved to Pagham in August of that year. For me, the most notable aspect of 2015 regarding thundery activity was that the large majority of it was so concentrated in that one night 3/4 July. Discharges were very frequent with continuously flashing lightning for a time and some very close discharges.
Away from that night, there was very little other thunder and if it was not for that night, 2015 would have been one of the quietest years in my life.

I can see a big old anvil to the west. Looking at the radar, it's the cell all the way down near Exeter!
I can see distant anvils and cu con in NW quadrant. I see that there is still lightning on maps in the distance.

Good anvil in direction of latest London storm. As for here, no storm has got even near here in this spell. Just a little rain yesterday and sunny and fresher today.

I was working at Herstmonceux and living in nearby Hailsham and the 5th June 1983 may be the most thundery day of my life. It started during the late afternoon/early evening of 4th with a strike close to Beachy Head and started thundering in earnest later that evening and during most of 5th. There was no hail locally as far as I know but a colleague told me that his car was dented by hailstones at Ryde when he was on holiday on the Isle of Wight.

August 1978 springs to my mind. It was unsettled during the first half as a continuation of the poor summer weather of that year, but had a dry settled second half which was the start of the dry autumn weather of that year.

Tomorrow, we will be leaving Pagham for Hamstreet to be near to Heather's (my wife's) family. I wrote about the move on page 417 in the SE, London & EA thread. I don't know who actually saw it. Anyway below is what I wrote.
