Maidstone marginal

If anywhere gets a thunderstorm tonight it will be the usual suspects of far east Kent Folkestone up to Ramsgate. Happens time and again on these summer night storm situations.

Summer 2021.... cloudy no real heat bits and pieces of rain. Bwark

Wow a flash and bang North West from Maidstone. The land is fighting back

It's an absolute myth that the channel kills off storms in summer. These storms pepped up over the sea and affected only south and east Kent and the far east of Sussex. Plus look at that stuff near cap gris nes right now. That definitely brewed up out to sea.

Dungeness after Hastings then Folkestone and Dover. Can't see it missing them.

Understand that but I'm talking about the next 2 to four hours for thunderstorm activity. Beyond that it might catch east Suffolk.

If there's any decent thunderstorm activity in the next 2 to 4 hours, it will be scraping Hastings followed by folkestone and Dover, then maybe Ramsgate. Only my opinion.

Last Saturday night/Sunday morning it was bitter cold with a decent snow cover. 1 week later and it's like the south coast of Spain with hair dryer warm winds from Africa. That's the weather for you ay.

Jan 1996 , 1 day but severe cold. Dec96/Jan 97 long freeze. Feb 96 severe 2 day event . Dec 05 Kent clipper. Feb 2010 Kent clipper. These are the other events that I remember, but I'm getting on in years:-)

King George park. Lovely place brings back good memories

This really made my day. I seriously couldn't believe it to be honest. I asked this kid to do the kitzbul black run especially for me. 20210211_085837.mp4 20210211_085837.mp4

That's great news. Thanet did best in Feb 2012. I was living there. That was a genuine 15 cm. And it lasted a few days too

Then there's the town... a little less grim looking than usual.
