Yet more really heavy rain pulsing from SSW-NNE. The persistence of this - forming in the same area and following the same track - is getting ridiculous!
The first time this year that a storm has intensified as it lifts over Salisbury Plain. Stunning CG and shotgun thunder a few minutes ago. Very frequent lightning from it!
The most active storm so far passing just over the edge of Salisbury Plain. Frequent lightning, thunder and swirling wind.
Lol as I pressed to complete the post there was a CG and shotgun thunder!
Jeez it looks like another thundery batch is forming around Bridport and pulsing NE! This would have been awesome at night, however then you don’t see the cloud formations!
Crazy tap on tap off hail and torrential rain developing as it raced overhead 10 minutes ago. It stopped and started 6 times in about 2 minutes with huge raindrops mixed with hail each time!
Snow, hail, gales, torrential rain, sunshine and now lightning and thunder approaching to round off the day! A few distant flashes seen in the fading light plus rumbles too!
offerman lol I was just about to report the same is happening in Warminster! Large blobs of wet snow within the heavy rain. Makes it a bit more interesting I suppose!
Dorsetbred thanks. That earlier rain died out but more has now formed on that Western flank and it’s raining here now. Radar shows it to be showery and the sky around here is a mix of clear slots and very dark based clouds.
