Southeast England & East Anglia - Weather Chat >> 1st March Onwards

No problem I had a serious phobia of storms until I was about 14/15, I can still remember to this day my father putting headphones on me during storms, it also helped me as when I was ready to take them off my dad was there for me. Sometimes I still get worried about storms, I have a condition called Alopecia areata when I get nervous clumps of my hair fall out and I still have a bald patch from my parents leaving me in charge of their house whilst on holiday and there were storms during the night, the first time I had ever faced a storm alone.

Wow I suppose that just shows what is sometimes someone's joy is another ones pain if you understand what I mean. My dad was a plumber and also a Avid WW2 historian . One day when I was young he explained there where tanks running the taps into the block of flats I lived in. I took it the wrong way and had nightmares for at least a year, I still remember them now .

Interesting that shoal of charged ppn to the west Coast of Normandy I can evisage it ending up near London.

I agree

Yep it's much chillier than they thought it would be, here anyway.  The humidity went down but seems to be rising again.

Rumbling every 30 secs or so here in Greenhithe, woke me up the damm thing!

[nicol@]

Distant thunder in East London and I can't see any flashes, the very active storm is a little too far, might get a glimpse after it crosses the river Thames.

Dark patch to my the left in North London (apparently no storm) and right in Essex.

I noticed half a swirl in the cloud.

[Captain Shortwave]

Just dropped my girlfriend off at the bus station, got some proper thunder and lightning now. Not much rain and the shower looks pretty small.

[loopydreamer]

Whoop! thunder and lightning... raining ...argh I need coffee

[nicol@]

I hope someone in Kent get some good pictures.

[wishfulwinter]

2 hours on my balcony waiting for the fun (did see a "blink and you'll miss it" brief lightening affair!) Now it's time to wake up the household looks like it's all about to start! Typical!

[Rain123]

I am currently under that rain that isn't doing much, but there are big old drops in it.

[loopydreamer]

Loud thunder and lightning still. We have torrential rain falling here in Chatham and hail!

[<<Ryan>>]

New small storm appearing around the Ashford area, I watched the cloud exploding into life. So I've now had a storm to the east and west of me, typical! Good luck to everyone today

[k66yla]

Woken up this morning by thunder, nothing much else happening out there at the moment but it is getting quite cloudy.

[wishfulwinter]

Beautiful blue sky breaking through here now . so anyone? Do I risk taking my little to barleylands(farm type thing!) Looked at rain radar but to be honest the way I understand it I'm safer looking out of the windows! Cheers

[Essexgooner]

Just had a brief storm here in Barling, very heavy rain, several flashes of lightening and a couple of rumbles of thunder, lasted about 15mins, sun is trying to come back out now
