had a bit of loud thunder this morning about 05:45, loads of strikes

there was a bit of lightning last night off portland, only reason I knew was because of blitzortung as I couldnt see it from my work near the nothe fort back in south wales now after long hard week in work, no afloat apart from thurs launching 2 of our ribs but boat maintainence all week.

just as well I popped into CBYC last eve to check CBYC ribs and sea cadet craft as well made sure club ribs elephants trunks were down for draining water etc, wind has died off, but still raining in cardiff tho

oh dear that doesnt sound good, if it is true

same in cardiff

own choice mate tbh

I agree, the trough is moving NNE so it will bypass us

ties in with ben said earlier,

there is only 1 English language also you need to consider everyone else who may not know it please

can we not use text speak please,

its updated now, thanks, it must be that shower that developed over the bristol channel earlier

nothing in blitzortung, nothing on lightning maps

that is nuts

get rid of the goodwin sands while you're at it, and the seven stones rocks etc

@Ben Sainsbury Whats causing the rapid development in south wales please?

how is it silliness, being realistic, big difference

everything is starting to move east now as the cold front is pushing it east

to the right of weymouth, i think they are heading towards lulworth cove

its a lot colder here in cardiff and raining

have you got the text from it as well please or link?

noticed tomorrow night on UkV is now far west of wales

naa just realistic

tbh i think the models are really struggling with this, I dont think much will happen

strike off avonmouth, nothing on radar tho, @Nick F You were spot on with your storm forecast last night, storms stayed off plymouth all night
