Some photos from just ouside Maidenhead yesterday evening. Some really cool structures and striations.

heavy winds, rain and flashes of lightening over Brighton atm

lightening over Brighton, at the moment.

Similarly to what others have said, the storm that passed over Brighton is the most severe I’ve ever been caught in. First ever time I’ve had to run for my life whilst filming. CGs striking meters away from me, 70+ mph winds and considerable sized hail. Definite rotation as well. I will upload my footage once I’ve transferred it from my sd card.

Got woken up to this unexpected storm, I hadn’t really been keeping up with the weather due to recent disappointments. Plenty of lightening, mostly sheet from my vantage point but a few sky-crawlers and a couple of CGs. Here’s a snippet of what I got: IMG_6387.MOV

I was at Brighton sea front for around 35 mins. Lots of CGs (or cloud to water) and a few deep rumbles of thunder, but most of it seems to be heading east. Going to look on my camera to see what I’ve got. In my opinion, this system will weaken considerably as it travels over the channel as there’s just not enough energy to maintain it. It’s now just rain here in Brighton, refreshing however after today being so humid.

This was probably of the most eventful storms I’ve seen in a while. The lightening, about 15 mins ago, was persistent with sky crawlers and intense rain pulses, lots of localised flooding here in Brighton. More of this, please.

the wind is that strong in Brighton right now that my mate’s carpet is bulging up and down like it’s breathing. IMG_4126.MOV

What looks like some slight rotation over Southampton earlier this afternoon. Probably a dying rotation, if not just some cool turbulence. The video is on 10x speed btw, hence why it’s only a few seconds long. IMG_2719.MOV

I may have just heard the deepest and loudest rumble of thunder in my life, it sounded more like an explosion or sonic boom. I’ve got a recording of it attached.Loud thunder.m4a

Heavy rain and decent flashes of lightening over Brighton rn

Torrential rain over Maidenhead with thunder and lightening. Very much a surprise. IMG_1782.MOV IMG_1790.MOV

The sky over slough/Maidenhead is really intense right now with an 90% chance of Tstorms. Sun is also out behind me, so should offer some last minute fuel this evening. Edit: now 100% chance

Interesting structure heading towards me. Is also being picked up on radar. Got my camera poised and ready in its direction.
