The drizzle has morphed into heavier drizzle with some actual rain further south, but I think Estofex had more of a handle on things than the MetO etc. They should really stop going into a meltdown at the slightest indication of moderately heavy rain. 

Agreed, not too sure why they issue a warning every time there’s a hint of a storm. 
 

Meant to mention in my post above, the dew point is still 21.3c at almost midnight

I am watching the fireworks in the channel which is quite impressive on Blirzorg

[Harry's House]

Thunder has arrived, but rain not very heavy yet.

[alexisj9]

Rain stoped, can now here distant thunder and see flashes. There's a m8st so thunder might be travelling through that.

[Neilsouth]

I hear thunder!

[lottiekent]

Can hear thunder pretty steadily now. @alexisj9 the rain should be with you again soon!

[lassie23]

it's raining

[Neilsouth]

BOOOOOOOOM! 

[Harry's House]

Torrential rain with fairly frequent lightning.

[Neilsouth]

Hell yeh we have kick off!! BOOOM again :D

[Norfolk Sheep]

Every flipping time. Anything forecast for the east and SE just turns into a Kent clipper with some light rain elsewhere.  We've had rubbish year after rubbish year and no sign of anything changing.

It’s not a massive storm, I’d rather have no storm if it meant the humidity was gone

Hearing a few distant rumbles and wondering how accurate the blitzoburg radar is as the storms could be heading our way.. but then again,  Margate, and thanet in particular tend to have our own weather climate.. ahha as I type a nice,  long, low,  deep rumble.. Still not here yet and no lightning seen as yet but can't go to sleep now lol

Ok, so it escalated into a reasonable storm. Can’t grumble at that, I’d give it 7/10

Storm still rumbling away to my north and east, but has mostly past here now I think.

As I said earlier, only Estofex got it right. The current warning system does nothing to reinforce people's trust in forecasting!

[Harry's House]

It has definitely quietened down now, both lightning and rain.  

[SenlacJack]

Well that was a decent thunderstorm here in St Leonards on Sea for  around an hour and some pretty hefty downpours during and after.  It's been a long wait but I was quite happy with that little show.

[Eagle Eye]

Yeah. Sheesh. 

[Tn9]

Nothing to report here whatsoever heavy shower that was that ;(

[Neilsouth]
