Lightningboy

Oh my god we just had crazy weather, was at bowls and we just had a cracking little thunderstorm right over head, the rain was torrential then the hail came which was very very heavy, evryone looked out side and huge lightning strike right above us with an instant explosion of thunder and there wa smore very loud thunder and lightning. The winds winds have also crazy must of been close to 80mph. we are now currenty under very heavy torrentia downpour with hail. I love this weather

Hi all we had a very eventful evening yesterday with lots of heavy showers with some hail and there was some lightning too. Anyway this morning started off on a dry note but weve had some showers creep in and it is now raining but not heavy, It is rather breezy out which is making it feel quite chilly which the current temperature is at 8.5c. Overnight Low 4.3c Have a nice day

hi just wondering if the isle of wight has any kind of chance or are we a bit to far west, im still going to be radar watching thougt, as looks interesting

talking about that there is some amazing skies out to sea and looks thundery

been having lots of heavy downpours an dlooks more to come aswell also feels very chilly

well weve had a couple of showers this morning and having now and quite heavy hopefull alot more to come

After a nirght, sunny and warm start it has clouded over with a light breeze but some blue sky Temperature at 19.4c but 23c in newport

It is Currently nice and sunny and feeling very warm, central newport is currently at 25.4c Wind speed 11mph. The odd cumulus clouds going by aswell

i am praying for something i can see a big band of rain coming towards us hoping it carries some thunder

yh i must admit we do have excellant views lookin goout to see and seeing if the storms move towards kent but thats when im up culver down i think it will be similar to last year bu tyeh too early say but if it were to happen i gota good view of the lightning for hours going towards kent and the east my mates dad got some amazing pics and he let me have ago. but im keeping my fingers crosse

i am hoping that this happens but i think would be a bit est of me but too early to say im just worried we will get sod all

it looks really interesting but i think it might be just a bit east of us if it were to happen but then im on east of island, will be interesting over the next week

i remember last year watching a light show on the exact same date aswell from culver down looking out to see to the east it would be so cool if we get some of it on us this time only if it happens but it looks really interesting

i too can confirm thunder and lightning we had 4 reall big flashes and big rumbles been raining very heavy and went black as night was unexpected well the thunder anyway:D

for winter i give 8/10 loads of frosts and some extremely cold nights but ill never forget the star of feb we had a rare snow event especially ont he island where it snowed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd the 3rd of feb was the msot snow i have ever seen as i was only born in 1993 so it was quite memorale, spring 5/10 not much weather about but had a nice storm in april which produced a tornado i think on west of island i think it was the 28th, summer 6/10- June and the start of july was very nice with lotsof hot sunshine and also had some good thunderstorms aswelllast thursday brang 3 brilliant storms especially 2nd and 3rd storm, but since july has been ok but quite dull at times with rain and especially some strong winds, overall i rate the year so far 6/10

shower number 2 and already getting heavy :o hope we see thunder later that would be nice

wow that is extremely heavy

currently having a very heavy downpour with huge spots and jumping high of the ground but no thunder

for me i think 2006 was brilliant especially 2nd half july, though 07 had a few but not that godd and only saw one proper decent storm in 08 which was in september.

i cannot believe we are missing out seeing portsmouth with these storms is so frustrating grrr everything has gone round us

its been raining here under a load of cloud asswell which is pulling the temps back temperature is at 20.8c with a high so far of 22.8c so not sure why its falling, must be the cloud cover

well the lightnign went on for a couple of hours but most of it was in cowes way apparently by the time the thunder arrived proper the lgihtning dided out and just gave heavy rain even though there was still a few rumbles and the odd flashb this was around 1:45 and thunder lightning stopped around 2:30 i think, well i fell asleep so i dont know lol. thoguh was nice to watch the lightnining even though most was out at sea

there are absolute menacing outs out to sea

i hope so im getting impatient lol well i wont get hopes upbut its taking forever

i dont have any confidence in the storms atm they seem to be taking ages, thats if we get any
