South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 31/12/13

[blackprince]

Erm....re'some earlier posts,is this going to be a case of 'our storms have been worse than yours'? Blah blah. We've all had bad weather of some kind or another in the past week or two. Some have been more affected than others. Some, like me, like extreme weather....some dont.

Dont let's see this forum turn into another one like some others.

I agree with you  this is the friendly forum not saying mines bigger than yours on here....weather related anyway is a must ,perhaps a recomendation to use another mod forum should come from one of our peers  lol

ecm at 168

 

 

next one should be interesting

hi bp

 

was going to say mines ,,,

 

better not though

ok next one then

 

 

[john pike]

216

 

yawn

 

almost though

[john pike]

 

 

and it gets to us in the south east eventually

 

 

 

what could go wrong ???

[PiggiePalace]

OH WOW - WHAT A DAY!

 

The pumping station is now working...(contractor no 20!) .....the flood door has been adjusted.........the stream is STILL in bank......the roof is intact...and so are my trees and fences.

 

 

 

Although a bit disappointed the Forest Row shield prevented us experiencing the hail/T & L events that other regionnaires north and south of us had today....I am very happy to retain my membership of NSC2014 for a few weeks longer in exchange for all the above! We did get the rain and we did get the gusts as the squalls went through...highest recorded on a local station today was 57km/hr.  I felt very sorry for the chaps next door trying to put a new roof on my neighbour's conservatory

 

Hope everyone else continues to stay safe, warm and dry and that those who have been impacted by the severE weather this festive break are starting to get back to normal.

Good grief, that was a major cliff collapse at  Rock-a-Nore in Hastings, and I wouldn't be suprised if there were more in the next few days.

 

That spot where the folks in the video are  standing is the exact spot I would often park up and watch the sea on my frequent visits to Hastings in the past. I suspect similar falls are likely at Fairlight Cove and the western section of Pett Level. 

 

If anyone down that way is planning to visit Birling Gap again I wonder if they could check the Boat House b & b there?  I stayed there many times and the owners Jeff and Anne only recently had the whole building moved approx 50 metres back from the cliff because of the constant erosion.

 

It's all getting a bit much for many folk now, and my sympathies to anyone who is affected.

Was ok today, although the waves crashing in were packing a pretty punch. Very very windy down there almost got blown over walking back to the car park.

 

 

Only got a few because to be honest I was worried about camera getting blown out of my hands.

Look at Brighton pier

Thought I heard a rumble, stuck indoors at work!

Was quite a gap between the flash and the rumble

The usually excellent quality Bognor Regis live webcam has been struggling to cope with conditions all day but there is definately a thunderstorm there right now, several flashes of lightning and deep rumbles of thunder. Difficult to tell the sea state but high tide is still a while away yet I believe.

High tide here is about midnight so they are probably a couple of hours earlier.

Probably nearer to Eastbourne?

Probably nearer to Eastbourne?

Yea I think so lounge window faces West but can see in a Southerly direction.

[legrandefromage]

Echoing a post from earlier - how's Sunday afternoon/evening shaping-up?  We're due to visit friends, but the main road runs through dense woods and we don't fancy risking coming back at about 8 p.m. if there are going to be high winds.

[Sussex Jules]

Just to clear things up from earlier I was in no way saying it's worse here than anywhere else. I was saying that looking at Environment Agency warnings this morning it looked like very few places in the 'whole' of the South East looked to have escaped flooding potential the whole area was covered in mostly yellows with a few red's.

hi sussex

 

i do not think anyone thought that

 

the threat tonight is the high tides still around midnight

 

then tomorrow heavy rain

 

then sunday night

 

monday and tuesday

 

i would have thought all should still watch the warnings until this horrible weather gives up

 

i am hoping the 120 fax tonight gives us some dryer conditions to look forward to

 

has got really gusty here again now as well
