  1. Either a giant is pebble dashing the back of my house or a gusty hail storm is just heading through, with some very strong gusty winds in toe.
  2. Anything in particular @Summer Sun or a general announcement?
  3. Same here @Snow Queen one - gusts seem to be coming thick and fast (more so than earlier). A gust just hit that made me wince as it sounded like the patio doors were going to blow in.
  4. Wind still howling here in the SE so don't get complacent people. We went through a bizarre half hour lull at lunchtime and then the winds returned with a vengeance. There's a lot of trees down, a huge brick wall at my parents' house collapsed, a huge piece of guttering we acquired from a neighbour (we think!!) and the back doors of our house are still creeking in the gusts.
  5. Winds seemed to decrease between 12:30 and 13:00, but they're roaring again now!! Trees down nearby, had a huge piece of guttering blow in, but no idea where from. And a huge brick wall has crashed down at my parents' house. Definitely worth the red warning in my view.
  6. The last big storm I can remember is the St Jude’s Day storm in 2014 (I think). I remember laying in bed listening to the roar of the wind and driving into C London the next day with huge trees uprooted. I think the winds then inland were 60-70 mph. If we get 80-90 mph as some models suggesting this could well be a once in a generation storm.
  7. I’m not overly familiar with ventusky as a source of data, but it’s projecting wind gusts between around 1100 and 1300 tomorrow across areas south and east of London in excess of 90mph - a big jump on runs earlier today. Thoughts?
  8. Have seen three big lightning flashes to WSW - no thunder yet though
  9. I bet you saw the one I did - stunning CC forks splaying across the sky. Honestly one of the most beautiful lightning strikes I’ve probably ever seen actually - just I shame I wasn’t recording it.
  10. Nice bright flash and second rumble just now - not as frequent as it was, but won’t complain. Sitting in the garden, lightning flashes, thunder, glass of wine, warm evening - what can top that??
  11. High humidity here too in NW Kent/SE London. Very thundery looking skies here at the moment. Pic below when I left my gym class 20 mins ago. Saw lightning way off to the south too, yay!!
  12. Some mackerel skies appearing now to my W and SW, with what looks like some robust Ac (possibly AcCas) further off in the distance between the trees.
  13. Awesome aren’t they!?!?!? Your excitement is infectious I have to say. Blistering sunshine and heat here - slim chance I might get some action later
  14. The line that’s produced a few strikes in SW London looks tasty as it goes past. No thunder heard though sadly.
  15. Second torrential downpour in about 30 mins just easing here. No thunder alas, but a proper downpour all the same
  16. Some of the cells over N/E Kent are chucking out some biblical rainfall rates. The cell north of Dover is particularly potent and, as it approached the coastline, temporarily took on what appeared to be a hook on the southern flank (at least as far as you could discern from the NetW radar)...I saw two meaty looking funnels on the Kent coast during storms in the early noughties, but sadly too young to have had a phone with a camera on it.
  17. Just heard an impressive peel of thunder from an intense looking cell running to my South. Just another rumble then too! Woohoo - shame it’s not nearer, but more downpours heading this way from London
  18. Sadly I missed the thunder and lightning from the line that just went through London as I was in a gym class. I drove through it though on the way home and the sky was awesome! Was the fifth biblical downpour of the day and the roads are now covered by flash flooding/huge puddles!
  19. We’ve had two really torrential downpours today. Third incoming - thunder and lightning unlikely but expecting another thumping downpour
  20. Sounded like a positive strike there @Weather-history - nice one
  21. Very exciting day for areas north of London today! Good luck all and stay safe. Proverbial a**e just fallen out of the sky here but alas no thunder or lightning (accepting the risk here is low at best). The squally line approaching Salisbury currently should make its way here later today so that might be interesting for more southern areas later.
