Fingers crossed it misses the site completely this time hey.

Have a fab festival! :lol:

The sky here is now blue and pink and looks lovely. So if the old saying red sky at night... is true then good stuff!

Sorry, I don't know any technical language and probably shouldn't be posting anything and let you professionals carry on with it.

i don't know any technical language either! i just put my two pennies worth in and hope someone finds it interesting or useful!!

Can hear the odd rumble in the distance now and the new development to the south east of us may build over the mendips I think i shall go and sit outside the old mendip inn with a pint of cider and watch storm lashing the top well hopefuly :lol:

Nothing here yet, quite milky skies but thundery towering clouds. Looks like the storm is moving very slowly, if not stalling

i have 2 lappys i have been busy blogging and twitting ..going to chuck up my webcam when i can get my power sorted .. and i have 30 gig on my dongle.. when the cam is running it will be on the link below.. man its boil in the bag weather down here.. light rain temps are still up to 24deg c humidity has to be over 70%

well the beer is cold and i am not on shift till tomorrow :lol:

Do you work there then?

I don't think it would be clever to take 2 laptops to a festival with 130,000 people!

I can see one interesting cloud formation to the south, but its quite hazy.

[Albion Snowman]

I think we are getting brushed by te edge of that storm down Bridgwater way. Had a light shower, but stopped now.

[kerensa]

lightining everywhere and continuous thunder still trying to get photo lol,

[dancing daisy]

The thunder is back in Bridgwater. I do hope this is a good thing and it is all totally missing Pilton.

Agreed theres PLENTY more to come.

The main stuff shouldnt start to show up untill way later tonight.

This is a great start however.

Please refrain from the Game overs and such for the moment :blink:

Excellent stuff, the anvil is stretching this far too!... Going to be a stunning sunset regardless of whether storms affect a wider area.

More clouds bubbling over Salisbury Plain and a newer cell somewhere over South Wilts but a little further North than the earlier few.

Interestingly the humidity is only 48% but the temperature is still 25.2c and without a breath of wind it's very 'close'.
