Max rain rate here was 34.4mm/hr at 8.20. There was some hail in the mix at one point too.

Amber has just been extended to my neck of the Wiltshire woods (aka farmland)

Nice to see a sunset again! I forgot how beautiful they can be . 

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Finally the rain has stopped. Drove to Trowbridge at 5pm and the lanes were already covered in surface water. Some houses in our village have flooded I believe and our lane is under a few inches of water. Fingers crossed it will have receded by the time the sun rises.

West Wilts wind has picked up over the last hour. Rain seems to have reduced in rate. Sources: scientific VELUX window rain check and listening to the wind. 
 

Bedside light has flickered a couple of times - the recently realised joys of over-ground electricity source after living towns for most of my life.

A handful of pics from Charlton Kings and up into the Cotswolds to the east of Cheltenham yesterday. First picture was at 7.30am and it snowed heavily until about 4pm.

A couple of pics of the sky above Box Hill. Now getting rained on!

Hearing regular distant thunder rumbles here in Dorking. Somewhere nearby must be having a good storm. 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Have one loud crack of thunder here in Dorking and now some more distant rumbles too

Will anything become of activity forming south of London?

Alas, no. It was just a heavy rain shower. 
 

Edit: that’s not to say it won’t become something. It just wasn’t anything of note.

Fourth load of thunder in Dorksville this month. Along with biblical rain and hail.

Storming in Dorking. It needs to end in 45 minutes so I can walk home without the threat of being struck by lightning ️ 

[Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards]

Living north of Gatwick, I am playing a game of plane or thunder

[Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards]

First couple of rumbles heard in Dorking and rain has started. I was watching tv with my headphones on so not sure if there was anything earlier.

This beauty just passed overhead and brought back the crazy strong winds for a short time. Now it’s clearing to the east.

Suspect that the BBC updated using older data, as usual???

 Conditions must have calmed sufficiently for Red Funnel to have restarted the vehicle ferry…we’ve just been loaded…. Fingers the drive up the A3 will be ok and will be back The Surrey hills by mid afternoon…. Will give you an update on conditions when we get there  @FlightlessWings…our neighbour said we’ve got no power and is not too bad at the moment

Thanks . Still got power here. Safe crossing and onward travels.

Gusts are seriously picking up on the NE coast of the Isle of Wight. Nearly saw a family got blown away. 

There seems to be a pattern of big gusts with overcast skies followed by sunny spells. 

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

Tide is almost fully in 2.5 hours early! 
Temp location: NE Isle of Wight

Just now, John Stevens said:

We’re staying put on the island tonight as well I think…our neighbours in Holmbury are looking after our rabbits, I’ll get in an update from them soon…. My parents in Haywards Heath are saying not too bad there at the moment

I was supposed to be on the 9am from Fishborne. 

The tide round here in Seaview is ridiculously high but there is still 2.5 hours until high tide. I have closed all the sea wall gates that were open overnight .

Fingers crossed our corner of Surrey comes out unscathed. I still have anxiety about 1987 and I was only four!

A few meaty gusts starting here in Dorking. I'm praying that my neighbours overgrown tree comes down on his side of the fence rather than ours...

I am away on the IoW praying my roof stays on so will be good to hear your updates from Dorksville. I am in the process of selling and this could certainly derail the process slightly

Doesn't look like Dorking!

Where are you?

Ha ha, that is how high the tide is . 
 

I am down on the Isle of Wight and was supposed to go home this morning. Decided to wait out the storm and head back tomorrow. 

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

Not sure if I am going mad but low tide was only an hour and a half ago and This water is way higher than I would expect it to be. 

for reference - this is what low tide usually looks like… 

And it is spring tides so low should be low low

Stratiform clouds. Looks like cirrocumulus and doesn't really dictate a front. More showing wind veer or wind convergence 

Brilliant, thanks for the answer

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

Will anyone tell me what these clouds are called and if they signify the imminent arrival of a front?

Meanwhile in Shanklin you would not think anything is going to happen…

Same just around the coast in Seaview! But the sky to the west has turned an weird shade of grey.
