are you joking your all giving....up! that stuffs still coming across the channel fast and its intense!!!!

[Adi F]

Can hear some deep rumbles out to sea yey! First of the year :-)

Nice one, Its good to see that French cell had pretty much reached the English shores and left the French shores and it looks as it it has not lost much energy. It is so slow moving though I think it will give a great show as dusk turns into night.

[snow raven]

Certainly looks like the storms will stay in the Channel/skim the South Coast, so those of you lucky enough to live on the Coast, enjoy the lightning show when it starts to get dark

[95 Degrees]

Well I'm sorry but its a dark as can be right now and there is no thunder, no lightning. If this was to be 'it' it would be happenin'.

I'll stick to the negativity

c'mon man the storm/rain is still a good 35miles south-east of you, at least wait till it's almost over you then give up if still nothing!

Your choice. I was expecting it would come to play this evening so am started to get excited. At 8pm I am hitting the road with the camera.

[Damp and dreary]

Hello MR CB and Coasty, yes rummbles abound here in Eastbourne. :-)

[lottiekent]

Can confirm occasional low rumbles here too, no rain yet however

Is that the rich party food you've been on all day Jas?

All I can hear at the moment is the party somewhere in Langney with a big beat sound system, that will stop shortly if this rain comes any closer!

[weatherobsuk]

Loop it from 6pm to now and tell me its not migrating NW'wards. With more cells building Easterly along the flank. Even if you don't get a Lightning event as your expecting there's bound to be significant flooding in some parts from the ground being so concentratedly dry with not having any rain for barely 2 months. And now all of this lot being dumped over it in the next upcoming hours.

[MR CB]

Hello to the fellow Eastbourne posse! Some large convective drops and a louder rumble here - I've gone back indoors. Off out inland now so will sadly miss any 'out to sea' light show (if any) :-(

Hello to the fellow Eastbourne posse!

Big drops of rain now and a distant rumble - first of the year and on the edge of expectation from the charts earlier!

I'd have to say what appears to be an MCS now over the channel is surviving and retaining electrical activity presumably because it is based above the boundary layer. Even the homegrown storm is keeping going well so maybe some activity well into the evening ?

[Phelpsy]

wonder if the french storms might make it to Gloucester later? i can but hope :0)

Hi Phelpsy,

Another Gloster one on the forum aye

There is a good chance of stuff hitting us later, However this will only happen if these storms make it across the channel in once piece..

If they manage it and then become organised again, we will be sorted

One can only help

[andymusic]

That storm is now in Wales just pivoting over the Beacons and just to the north of me

[westysweather]

maybe even us down in exeter will get some remnants if they last the channel, do you think we are in with a chance?

[ZONE 51]

are you joking your all giving....up! that stuffs still coming across the channel fast and its intense!!!!

thats exactly it..its only the start of the action! ive been reading the thread and thanks for postings all the sat/rad/lightning, as when on mobile it does make it easier than downloading myself, on the pc now.

anyway all exciting, that inland storm is impressive, watching and watching developments heading in from otherside..

reguler channel thunder booming just off the coast here in Hastings now. The last rumble shook the walls of my flat. Getting nearer and more frequent in the last half hour. Come on dusk, i want to see that lightning!

[PurpleButterfly]

Well i didnt think we would have any thunderstorms here today.

Quite a nice surprise I'd say around 4pm we had some thunder and lightning. Quite some loud thunder and lots of rumbling from all around it seemed. We also had a little rain, big drops. Temp got up to 19c here and felt very muggy.

gutted! sky went dark to my north, got a slight shower and could smell that smell of conductive rain.....looks as though the land is forcing some further conduction ten mile north of me, hail core has reappeared!
