A dull day today with loads of cloud. On my way home it started to sleet and in the distance I could see the sun setting. Realising this was the back of the cold front, and a dmned sight colder it was, I waited it out and was shown a real treat of a sunset.

Your Video and Storm pictures
lightningfan replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Havent posted on here in a while as the storm season has yet to kick off and moreover have never noticed this very nice little corner of the site. Here are a few contributions taken a couple of years back. A couple have been posted before but it cant hurt to show them again :o -
I have moved this post to the right place. I had lightning pics and you wanted clouds :o

Surely this depends on the human being in question?

Well I think its safe to say then that it was mindless pub talk. As i said it seemed somewhat crazy to me, and its reassuring to know that the sun is in fact more capable of heating this planet than a tipsy pub goer gives it credit for

During a conversation with a friend, the point was raised that per square inch, the human body actually emits more heat than that of the surace of the sun and that it is merely the size of the sun in comparison that allows it to generate such a substatial output of heat. I havent got a clue where this was heard, but is there actually any truth in this? It sounds a tad crazy that a wee blob of ooze and bones can generate heat more efficiently than a massive ball of burning hydrogen, but then again what do I know? Thanks

This was in 2006 I think. Moved up from the south (The lights you can see in the very background are on the Isle of Wight) and this photo was taken about 9pm. An epic storm with constant lightning. By far the most spectacular storm I have ever seen in this country. Oh and if anyone else remembers this storm and has any pictures it would be great to see them, although I know i was a bit sketchy on the details but if you saw the storm I think you would remember it

Well im back after cutting 2 lawns, and having been outside has lead me to believe that the weather is really quite rubbish at the moment. Overcast, very humid, but no thunder and no rain.. Still warm though. Am looing to the SW again for hope, and it looks like somethng may happen, but Ihave given up hoping today. Why do all you lot upthere get all the fun....No Fair! Just to edit: I am LOOKING, not looing to the SW....

I cant think for the life of me when this was taken. It was a truly epic storm, that im ashamed to say snuck up on me, and I didnt seeit coming, but I made it to the clifftop in time. All I can say is that the storm was late in the summer, after July I think. And ill do my best to get the rest of the pics loadedup in the photography section soon
