Heading north on the M1, looking interesting :-)

 

How do you manage to drive upside down.

 

Sorry couldn't resist

[smethwickgg102]

Oops upside down :-)

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Think i'll have to use my ear-plugs tonight - some of us need our beauty sleep ...........

 

I do every night anyway, worst sleeper, hate light mornings, cannot remember last time I was asleep post 5.30am

Crickey, I think you're the only person that I ever heard say they hate light mornings, I love them. Definitely a summer person, I have loads more energy in the summer months. Plus I despise driving to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.

Very recent thunderstorm here. Nothing to write home about although it's been pretty foul here since 1600.

I am a winter lad, love the dark mornings/nights, even when mild, winter is better than summer, would rather a 11C day in winter than a 25+ day in summer

Game on ..

Going to be an interesting hour here in Cornwall.

Not much rain but the rumbles are getting louder

[knocker]

Looking at the rain clouds coming in from my South it looks very stormy, i am surprised nothing is showing on lightening radar!!

Clouds are BLACK! Anyone else seeing this in my area?

[devon lad]

Distant thunder then just seen first flash of lightning at Blackborough

[legritter]

Looks like our present system is still maturing as it heads north ,although the eastern part of this system is narrower its gradually picking up energy ,im expecting to see lightning from this in north somerset come 11pm if not before .tomorrow nights looks possibly the dogs dinner with i should think very intense action from mother nature but locations even at this range still uncertain ,any posters in the sweet spot fri/sat take cover ,hope the action though is spread out .MY KETTLE IS GOING ON its war on flying ants ,gave a pint of blood today ,so i lost a pound in weight so i deserve a sausage sandwich brown sauce ,off to see if theres any flashes out south or west cheers all .

[microclimate]

Gutted, rain has all but fizzled out before it's got here.

[SilverWolf]

This looks cool.

[twister2005]

[DanDorsetUK]

Seeing flashes south from me, might just be seeing distant flashes from storm over France at the mo though.

Looks like its really getting going over france now!

I use Mack's pillow soft silicone putty ones. They are very comfortable and block out noise nicely.

[knocker]

A fair storm going on here with much medium level instability.

[Lyn-M]

The radar's showing that it's raining here, it isn't.

[DanDorsetUK]

I am sure Dorset is going to get hit now!

[Charlton Adam snow]

Heavy rain here for about 10 minutes - no lightning or thunder, but lovely earthy smell and amazingly it's still 23c

Let's hope for some action, some nice showers coming into Dorset now
