First storm was probably a 4/10 here. Some thunder but not a lot and nothing close -

Can hear constant deep rumbles from the Channel, got to be 50 miles away so pretty impressive! -

That’s where I walk along all the time! Wonder who is controlling the camera - it’s a closed off area at night so only thing I can think of it’s some kind of security camera as there was a van along there just now, like they were looking for someone. Shame it’s panning all over the place as it ended up being a decent storm in the end -

Several shotgun thunder claps here too, rain has now eased off but lightning still flashing away. Looks like some more might be popping up to the SW too -
Not so much any more even here sadly. Used to be almost a guarantee of a French import several times a summer and these days it just seems to sail up the channel closer to France. Just had some rain for a bit which hasn’t helped the humidity one little bit and have heard several very distant rumbles from what’s crossing the channel now (also to go to the east of even me here in SE Kent I would say)

22.8 c with a few point of 21.1c and not a single storm on the horizon -
I am very much hoping the hot weather doesn’t come off over next couple of weeks. I have two close family funerals a week apart, first one next Tuesday, and could do without the added stress of being over hot. Today was about as warm as I’d like it, got up to 22c and that was plenty.

There were a few rumbles from that in Folkestone yesterday afternoon. Very heavy rain too for a short burst. We missed it as had to go to Canterbury (my nan-in-law is gravely ill unfortunately) but my son was home and told me about the thunder. -

Estofex don’t place us in any real risk today, but at least there’s some. I’ll take that seeing as I’m still on one proper storm so far this summer European Storm Forecast Experiment - ESTOFEX WWW.ESTOFEX.ORG Edit: some parts are going to get it though!
