South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 18th February onwards

[Froze were the Days]

Yeah Windy in the early hours and first thing this morning but there has been many a more ferocious depression than this - as mentioned October 2000, Jan 1976 was a beast, several in Feb 90', the burns day storm of 1990, the infamous 1987 hurricane were all more powerful and there are probably a few more on top of this but of the late probably the strongest. Gusted here to 58 mph at 8am but thats not that extreme.

Blimey, it was a tad windy last night wasn't it!?

 

Kept awake all night by super dupere being blown across the garden, into the windows, gates banging....

 

Found a random gnome in the garden standing perfectly upright. No idea where he came from, but finding a solitary gnome looking like he had just wandered into the garden staring through the patio door is unnerving, I tell you!

Random gnomes! You could take it and put it on the door step of someone you don't like, just to freak them outBeef showers here.

Oh this is cool!!

Quick snap!

 

Oh, lucky you. Just a bit of showery rain here, no hail. Looking like some more showers heading this way, so fingers crossed. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

One of my better ones I think.. Damn

[Daniel*]

Not nice drenching rain showers aligning into London very soggy out there glad I'm indoors.

[Mal_UK]

Big hail shower passed through around an hour ago.  Was lucky it was nice and dry for the couple of hours we were out and about this afternoon! 

[stainesbloke]

Clear mammatus clouds under a passing anvil cloud here.

[alexisj9]

Nothing but wind and sunshine here, hope those showers stay away.

[Daniel*]

Neat cloudscape  

[March]

Was windy but no damage here. 

[Andy H]

Nice sky tonight, even the kids noticed!

 

[Captain Shortwave]

We had a heavy rain/hail shower around dinner time, otherwise a fine afternoon with lots of sunshine. More showers to come for the next couple of day though generally turning increasingly dry as the week progresses.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Morning all marvelous start!

All change later as estofex have a level 1 over us for large hail and strong wind gusts

All thanks to an area ofpotentially thundery anf very heavy rain which pushes up from the south West later this afternoon

If we get thunder today here, it would be 3 out of the last 4 days we have had thunder and lightning pretty impressive start to the storm season 

[Captain Shortwave]

Bright start here, yep a band of showers will move through later today with some deep instability so the risk of torrential downpours, hail and thunder as well as gusty winds.

[Rain123]

Sunny start here, but some anvils in the distance to my south and west.  Probably a sign of what's to come...

Rember guys, any action if it is to happen will be late afternoon be patient 

[<<Ryan>>]

Heavy hail shower here, covering everything white for a minute or two

[Captain Shortwave]

Just down the seafront at Southend, a pretty beefy shower on the other side of the estuary, saw some lightning coming front it too.

Well the gusty winds are here just had quite a strong one push through, not sure on the speed of it though.

Yes Surrey, this year there's been quite a lot of lightning already, am hopeful for a decent summer storm season at last....

Nice enough day here, clear start, hail showers passing by but dry here so far with some sun, still an annoying wind though.

[Dami]

sun and dirty puffs of cloud

Good luck, south easterners! We're just outside the Level 1 here, but there's still the potential for some torrential rain, hail and thunder here.
