SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards

[LightningLover]

Huge bust For Bexhill and Hastings IMO. No thunder or lightning throughout this spell, and just to rub it in further, Kent had a cracker of a storm, which was in no  way visible from here. All in all, it’s been a disappointing convective season thus far. Not to mention, all the left over cloud is spoiling the view of the lunar  eclipse...

May I just say

That's a mighty fine plume you got going on there 2018.

Mighty fine.

Not here it isn't. Dreadful, awful waste of a hot spell for me.

[Neilsouth]

Overall for a storm that's had all that heat and all that humidity, it wasn't all that! The start of it looked like end of the world stuff, but the rain isn't that much and there's the odd lightning strike. Just a small summer storm really for kent 
Depressing, we needed more

[Methuselah]

A lovely anvil away to the SSW...

[SMU]

well you win some you lose some.

Total sh*te here. pah

I think we have more to come this evening, at least in fits and starts.

[Froze were the Days]

Not impressive for rainfall I have to say, no hail either...a few lightning flashes and rumbles of thunder. Although not over 5/10

[interested & confused]

Yes, there's more coming across the channel on the weather radar

Even now it's managing to miss us to the west!

Right, going to get parked up. Either Crownthorpe Rd nr Wymondham with a 360 view or near Reymerston with a good view to the south and has served me well before. Wymondham first I think...all of a 10 min drive haha

Good plan!

I think Blitzortung is being wildly generous with their strikes. According to them there's a huge storm over us but there isn't. Think lightningmaps is more accurate tonight.

I much prefer lightningmaps.

[Blazerblue]

I hear thunder !!

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Here it comes...

[suffolkboy_]

Watch out Norfolk! This storm is crazy! Best I’ve seen in years! Constant lightning, 50mph gusts and rainfall rates touching 200mm/hr!!

[Lauren]

Well this has been one hell of a bust here. About 10 minutes of rain and that's it.

Windows closed.

Think I now heard thunder in the distance.

[Paul1968]

A rumble or two of very distant thunder but as others have said very poor indeed considering the immense heat and humidity in our part of the world very poor indeed considering the conditions 

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Flickers of lightning to the south...

[Coopsy]

It’s got humid again here *sigh*

[interested & confused]

Still raining on and off here
