Windy... But not cold , have noticed that my grapes are growing rather rapidly and each year that happens we have a lovely summer ... 

Yes it feels a lot warmer than yesterday. Interesting regarding your grapes, my Mum mentioned that her Canna lilies were growing faster than normal and that indicated a hot summer....we shall see!

looking to have two months right now

[Norfolk Sheep]

Slowly edging across the N Sea but very little activity compared with the re-invigorated area just off the Dutch coast. 

[snowrye]

Looks like the first strike on the mainland in norfolk

[Norfolk Sheep]

What was a mass of white is slowly and inevitably turning orange and red. Apart from the newly developing area to the NE *sigh*

[Milocation]

Colchester looks like its off the target list

[Wivenswold]

Just saw a flash here. It was bright enough to light-up the bedroom. Either lightning or a local generator has blown. 

[Milocation]

Thought I saw something as well

 

[Norfolk Sheep]

All activity now pretty much behind what is surely just a mass of rain now, unless something kicks it into gear over land.

[Milocation]

Upper, near the Co-op. The flash must have been to the SE going by how it lit up my bedroom. 

I lived for 6 years on the Quay, which was brilliant for seeing lightning over towards the continent. 

[Milocation]

lol, I live near there too

[Milocation]

near the park

[Wivenswold]

Blimey, Rosabelle for me. 

Anyway, this is probably boring the pants off everyone else. See you in one of our pubs sometime. 

 

 

[Milocation]

lol, im 14

[Milocation]

see you in the coop sometime

[Wivenswold]

Looks like Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft could be having some fun shortly. 

I seem to recall a set-up a few years ago like this when the showers re-energized off the East Coast, so I don't think it's a bust yet. And there's a second front leaving Netherlands. 

[lassie23]

Getting windy here.

[snowrye]

Shame that the initial cluster seems to be dying rapidly,but fear not as another cluster is developing behind,and at the moment it looks great on blitzortung

[Milocation]

but will it miss us completely???

[Captain Shortwave]

I can confirm thunder and lightning in Gt Yarmouth.

[LetItSnow!]

Just had a rather lively bit of weather just now! The rain combined with the strong wind made things a little scary out there, wouldn't be surprised if all the lanes got flooded. No thunder here though.

[essex coast matt]

Hearing thunder every few mins here,think its to the west of us,very heavy rain at mo.
