Woken up to the merest of a dusting in the Surrey Hills…so clearly something came out of that blob last night

Mmmm lucky bugger!!! The Holmbury St Mary snow shield is well and truly intact!!! Not even the merest snizzle here…

The big blob is over the Surrey Hills, but nothing falling…..

Completely agree @lottiekent…some cracking events over the years in the SE…. I think ask anyone who remembers 87 across Sussex, Kent or Surrey will say it wasn’t fun in the weeks afterwards……. Where we lived in Haywards Heath was without electricity for 10 days…. Although, being at school at the time, there was a sense of adventure going out, helping cut up the trees…. In 87 everyone in the communities of every town, village, street helped out…. It greatly saddens me but not sure that would be the same today….

Is @TomSE12 running his winter weather comp this year?

Was an incredible amount of rain over the last few hours…. Stopped here in the Surrey hills about an hour ago, one big rumble of thunder…looks like it’s pivoting in the radar for a second shot and then dropping SE

As a slight aside on tonight’s rain…has anyone noticed issues with the Home and Dry app on their iPhone? Hasn’t worked properly for about 3 months for me…used to find it quite reliable

All moved off now…just left with heavy rain

Some cracking lightning and thunder here in the Surrey Hills tonight…

Definitely has moved off from here

Large heavy drops of rain here in the Surrey. Lightening and rumbles getting closer!!

Well…. Our final night in Port Isaac before trekking back up the A303 to Surrey…. Think it could be a bit hairy down here overnight!!

Well, the weather report from the North Cornwall coast for today couldn’t be any further from home…. Another beautiful Cornish summer’s day here…very respectable 22°c for much of the day in clear blue skies! Picked my parents up at Bodmin Parkway this afternoon, as they are joining us for our second week in Port Isaac. They said the rain was torrential when they left Haywards Heath at 9:30 this morning… Anyway folks… tomorrow we go on a boat trip… we will get to see the dolphins and pilot whales seen every day for the last week… the forecast suggests the weather will be kind so hopefully tomorrow evening I’ll be able to post a few sea based photos rather than a contented seagull, or two

Enjoying the beginning of our second week in Port Isaac…lovely to be away from The Surrey Hills for a while! You couldn’t have wished for better weather last week, although at times it was a little too muggy! There was no calamitous breakdown here last night.. not much evidence of anything other than a light shower this morning. A dull morning led to beautifully clear summer skies along the North Cornwall coast by mid afternoon…was pleasantly warm (22°c) walking around Padstow and then much the same on our return to Port Isaac early evening. The forecast here looks much the same for the next few day it stays the same!! The first photo was what I believed was the last decent sunset last night in PI harbour.. very similar this evening! The others show the fantastic scenery we’ve enjoyed this week!

My parents in Haywards Heath said there was a heavy downpour at about 5ish? We’re enjoying two weeks in Port Isaac, Cornwall where it has been another belting day today…although very hot upstairs in the house tonight!

Proper thick snow flakes coming down moderately/ heavily in the Surrey Hills! IMG_5677.MOV

Heavy snow here in the Surrey Hills at the moment!

Light snow in the Surrey Hills

@TomSE12 Thank you so much for running the competition, was great fun keeping an eye on it over the winter. I just wanted to pass on my heart felt wishes for you and your family at this very difficult time for you all. With my best wishes, John

Well...MetO saying -4 tonight whilst Beeb saying -10 for Holmbury St Mary tonight.... and my watch saying it’ll get to -7... mmm quite a range. If the radar is right we might also get a snowy surprise as well? It looks like there’s some prolonged intensity as the direction changes

It’s is the Thanet wind farm array, almost perfectly aligned with this satellite photo of the location

Goodnight and good luck with the snow from late tomorrow and into Sunday and next week! The Euro4 is spot on... unfortunately I cannot get the images at the moment to attach Steve says Steve Murr is thinking of you all on here, especially @TomSE12 Au revoir!! John Edit: got the image

I completely agree with you @kate1 I’ve literally just sent my message to the mods, in a reply a comment a made earlier today. I had expressed my unhappiness about a comment made about another member last night and other comments previously, Yet that comment was removed instantly! In private I expressed my unhappiness about comments made in this forum and was told that it would not be allowed!! However, clearly “beating off” over a weather girl is acceptable! However, in the same time I’m writing my response those same messages are probably being removed to prevent any repercussions! John

Voldermort lurks elsewhere

Love reading your posts @tight isobar... they do make perfect sense when read a couple of times!
