another video of the same storm. You can clearly see it is evident that none of the footage is sped up and no thunder really whatsoever, just lightning galore, phenomenal!!!

4:55 for a smashing positive bolt!

Thanks for posting link.

Looks like there is something strange with a couple of figures showing. Firstly it's saying Kirk is currently a tropical depression and has indicated tropical storm strength wind speeds and then the first forecast figure shown is not category 1 hurricane strength... Unless this model is picking up windspeed actuals / forecasts from a different source to the National Hurricane Center, whose storm category predictions it lists, which is what I suspect.

Screenshot attached, as it's bound to all be in agreement by the morning, when everyone is up and about.

Mornin each. Nice morning here in Ippy, quite autumnal in fact but all the more pleasant for that. Think we must have had a drop of rain in the night so it's very fresh today.

Hope you all have a great day whatever you are up to. âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡

I have another day of baby sitting my 7 month old niece and as any mum knows, it's exhausting. but fun as well. And I have to prepare a piece for a blog hop starting tomorrow. *Sigh* see you all laters. :o

I don't think it should cause us too many problems by the time it gets near:

Tropical Storm KIRK: Probability of Cat 1 or above winds to 93 hours lead

UK Met O has it running out to our NE:

Might it just clip us then? I wouldn't mind some fairly bracing winds.

Outbreaks of heavy and perhaps thundery rain will continue to affect parts of Northern England. The rain will probably extend into parts of the East Midlands and East Anglia later this morning and turn more showery in nature by this afternoon. The public should be aware of the risk of localised surface water flooding. Drier weather should follow from the northwest across northern England.

Morning all,

A very cool 14 deg c here this morning, feels very autumnal

Well this far out and with all the other factors involved like the long journey across the open water of the Atlantic, the jet direction etc etc, anything is possible but I have a hunch it will materialise as strong winds in Ireland and Scotland and not too much in our part of the World - one to watch anyway.

More importantly for now, storm chances for some in the SE and EA today!

Ah right. But cool if we get some T storms today. Cheers Coast.

Everywhere except Ipswich no doubt. Boo hoo!!! Quite bright here just now but very cloudy. I'm longing to take the ankle bighter out and show her a storm.
