Looking menacing out east from here for sure!

Well that 'menacing' shower is almost over me and have to say very underwhelming...a few spots of rain and nothing more.

23c to me is warm, but then the locals this way think I’m barmy when I go walking my dogs at 0c without a coat on, in fact it’s been commented that they know it must be flippin cold if I’ve actually put a coat on  just not a heat person, whereas my family are all sun worshipers and will merrily sit for hours in blazing 30c and my sister has been complaining it’s been cold and putting blankets on her bed overnight this week. Think I must have been adopted from a village of eskimos

Must be my Barbadian blood, my father was the same - impervious to British summers!

Big rumble of thunder to my East (Tonbridge)

[Dbarb]

Reckon the cell making landfall will intensify as it goes over land, clutching at straws here?

[Mark wheeler]

Lots of loud Thunder but no Rain , It’s just missed us again by a whisker like yesterday .

Steady rain now no thunder here - as I said underwhelming.

Mostly inter cloud lightening that is hardly visible except for one fork lightening over to my west possible near Chipstead. Still no rain yet but very humid and lots of thunder. 

The rain has just stopped here, our road which is a dead end was flooding very quickly!

Same, it ducked south of here in the end. It seems to have been the French storms that made it across this time. Hope it doesn't kill of the heat for the storms that were forecast for later.

Yep , Meant to say yesterday not last week . Got some light rain in the end for a few minutes but nothing significant. Let’s hope we get one later .

[Coopsy]

I can hear constant thunder in the distant. Someone’s getting a good storm

New to the forum although posted a few times on the convective thread. What a different day to yesterday in herts. Dull and humid. Its amazing that this clag from the north sea can penetrate so far inland given time of year.

[Captain Shortwave]

Now in Benfleet, well there is some heat still left in this spell. 29c here, which feels oppressive with the humidity.

Inmust feel sorry for those further north and west, that NE wind has yet again delivered far more cloud than any model had predicted. I really hope the cloud amounts will decrease.

Big fat rain drops now all piling in off the channel by the looks of it, blue sky out the back facing the other way..!

[Lauren]

Here it comes! Does law I'm in the clinic where I don't have a good vantage point....

[Dbarb]

Am I going crazy or did I just hear thunder near Chelmsford area? Nothing on lightning maps?

[Uxbridge90]

What a difference 24 hours make, temperature a lot more bearable and clear blue skies once again. Seems most of the convection is moving quite Westerly and sliding away from London into more central areas. 

[Nimbusman]

Huge cell literally developed over my house, constant thunder but no rain, looks like it’s heading NW of Ipswich so anyone in that direction get ready for some action

Afternoon all,

I hope Malcolm doesn't mind, as the Thread is busy with the interesting Weather around our Region, at the moment but would like to return briefly to my comment about "A" Level results.

Although it's not Weather related, it is pertinent to the South East Regional Thread, I will reveal why in a moment,

I'm a really proud Great Uncle Tom, this Afternoon.

Just heard that my Great Niece, got an A * in Art, and an A in both Film and Geography.

Here she is below, with her amazing Painting of Chartwell House, near Westerham:

 - next to it, an image of the real thing - 

I think you'll admit, not a bad likeness.

She certainly doesn't get that talent from her Great Uncle. I can't Paint or Draw, for "toffee".

She did the Painting as a present for her Grandfather's (my Brother-in-Law), 70th Birthday.

My Brother-in-Law does volunteer work at Chartwell, taking visitors around the Family Home of Winston Churchill.

No surprise to me, with that standard of work, that she achieved an A*.

Regards,

Tom.
