That was a real humdinger of a storm! 29.6mm in the gauge and best part of two hours of continuous thunder and lightning. Overhead, with blinding flashes and instant rumbles, for 15 minutes. Mush as I love storms, that 15 minutes was a bit scary. Seems to have taken out a telephone junction box (cover blown off all all burnt), in Sherborne, phone lines down and internet too. Other damage being reported on social media too.

It certainly did head our way! Continuous lightning and thunder from 21.40 GMT for best part of an hour but very little rain. Checking the radar this morning the cells mostly went to the east of us in the first batch and then to the west in the second. Rainfall total to a few minutes ago, a paltry 3.7mm. Definitely the best light show for several years.

I just looked at the West Bay and Lyme web cams and was surprised at how calm the sea was in spite of the obvious shaking of the cameras! 0.6mm in the gauge at 09.00, must have been the limited showers we had yesterday as the grass was virtually dry this morning. A little light mizzly rain earlier, but definitely none of the white stuff here. Seems that the rail line from Exeter through to Salisbury is closed due to a number of trees and branches on the line at various locations.

First air frost of the season with a -1.2°C overnight min. Beautifully sunny with blue skies for about an hour, then it went downhill fast. I went down to the gardens at Abbotsbury and until about half ten it was sunny, then there too it clouded over. Photo is taken from above Portesham looking out to sea around half eleven. Very glad I went early!
