Nice moody photos! - from a fellow islander ??

Yes we've just had a few rumbles, sheet lightning and heavy rain in Cowes.Sounds like it was more over in Sandown though!

Ooooh there's some activity just south of the IOW.. Looking very dark looking south over Northwood . Fingers crossed!

Went to bed at 4.15am. Woke up at 6.50am. Small distant rumble and a bit of rain...was that it? Or did I miss something apocalyptic during my 2.5 hour slumber?

Wind has started to pick up again...

Very quiet in Cowes. It's been really breezy all day, and now there's not even a puff of air to move the garden windchimes. It's warm too. No sign of any excitement yet. I'm going to bed - hope that I don't miss anything.

Looks like it.. seems to be headed NW at the moment. But it's stopped raining here now!

Nothing yet, but there's an impressive amount of rain heading this way according to raintoday.co.uk.

Very calm here in Cowes, I didn't even realise it was raining quite so hard until the cat fell through the cat flap looking a bit spangled.

Light rain shower in the last half an hour, but now dry. Feeling muggy. outside thermometer reading 14 deg C. Would love to see some lightning tonight, but it looks like all the action is too far away.

Raining heavily again in Cowes.. winds picking up a bit - can hear the odd howl down the chimney!

Heavy rain in Cowes IOW. Wind starting to gust again after a quiet spell.

Torrential rain just started, large flashes and big rumbles.. bring it on!!!

Lousy weather. Peeing like a racehorse here all day. Cold, wet and blustery. Roll on summer.

Heavy rain/sleet here now. Been raining for most of the day, but there are still a few clumps of snow lying around.
