South East England, East Anglia & Central Southern England Regional Weather Chat

[Daniel*]

So much for the pessimism, no energy... ? Well no need all french imports, where currently the 'energy' is at moderate levels. Storms slamming the far SE, bright echoes. Flashing flooding around the Dover area?

Have a nice Evening All

[Kent Snow]

Just had a deep rumble of thunder in Canterbury. Raining too.

[hernebaylooby]

Distant thunder in herne bay with rain

[jayney69]

Nothing here yet in Sittingbourne.

[matt brid]

Nothing happening yet here in London apart from cloud increasing.

All the action is hitting East Kent and East Essex right now.

Looks like we will have to wait until 10pm for areas further west to join the party ... and it is set to clear by midnight .

Hope you are right my friend  

Very close to you but looks like the south east will be a short lived thing generally as the energy moves quickly north .

[tinybill]

some  big looking  storms leaving france at the  moment

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Haven't been around for a while (distance-learning course taking-up much of my time), but I thought I'd ask when the storms are due through my area (South Norfolk).

[matt brid]

No guarantee of ANYTHING tonight .... it IS a WAIT AND SEE event.

[dwalton]

I just see heavy rain. I can't see it intensifying

[Kent Snow]

Heavy rain falling. No more rumbles for 30 minutes or so.

[matt brid]

Well at the moment it's all sliding off to the east and will miss most of London and Central Southern England .... and then there's another cluster bound for the South Midlands and south west England ...

Fair dos, but what I was asking was what part of the night is most likely for some action.

[tinybill]

[matt brid]

Garden is back to having big puddle patches no thunder since last report feeling a lot less muggy now

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

I hope you won't be let down .... we should know by midnight !!

 

I'm not a great fan of night-time storms, actually, especially if they're very close.  I enjoy them during the hours of daylight, but I'm not totally comfortable with them at night.

[Jason T]

Wouldn't even bother with Thorpe park on Saturday this weekend my god you would be stupid to do it! I can see Stealth from my Window I am that close.. And the queues will be silly AVOID!

Cheers Surrey , believe me I have tried, but they all know best. Still I will have my phone so can chat in here whilst waiting 10 hours.
