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

[alexisj9]

Can still see the occasional flash here, some seem fairly bright. Is that from the north or is something else coming up?

[Neilsouth]

So cool!

[Captain Shortwave]

Some pretty heavy rain here but not much else to be honest, best of luck to all those in the firing line for something more active.

Give it 45 minutes or so - the section of trough heading our way is getting very active in terms of sferics.

Typical. Every time I turn away or step away from the window, a nice strike happens. Lights flickered, I watch a cluster of 4-5 strikes shows on lightningmaps.org and then comes the big crack of thunder. Certainly shows the maps are working! And upon checking the map, I am quite glad I wasn't outside at my usual viewpoint, because that was exactly next to the cluster of lightning... heavy rain here, with thunder intermittent. Rain increasing now.

Well that's what I've been thinking - but, so far, there's not been so much as a flicker?

Oh dear Ed. Looks like the storm line is splitting and the Beccles Storm Gap phenomenon is happening!

Just had another bright one as I clicked on that, and sure enough it was near and the thunder came while I typed lol.

Quite a nice show of lightning as this slowly heads northwards in Suffolk now. Feels like a summer storm, tbh

I think the whole lot's weakening as it's heading through Suffolk.

Right then, I'm off to bed! Cue the most violent thunderstorm ever seen in Suffolk and Norfolk!

[Allseasons-Si]

you soon removed your post chrisbell-nottheweatherman after about 20 strikes all at once just happened

Still rumbling flashing and raining here

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Good show last night for many I was a tad to far West for anything other than a drop of rain 

Certainly a lot more active than forcast which was a bonus too!

On to today and while there will be a few showers I don't think it's our regions turn in the way of thunder with the greatest risk further West and North.

It arrived with plenty of blue-white lightning...

Glad to hear you got something!  We had a fairly close strike (2-3 miles away) which produced loud, though not quite booming, thunder, and several less proximal strikes from that trough.

I would've been on the forum last night discussing the situation if I had remembered my password...  
As Surrey said, we were just a bit to far west for anything. And today we seem to be to far east for anything apart from a few light showers. Sun trying to come out, but not succeeding...

Most April like day today!
