South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards

[Bogman]

One crack of thunder an hour ago in Gerrard's Cross.

[lassie23]

Another storm incoming, this has got more lightning in it

[Mesoscale]

The storm just past me, elevated lightning so not really visible but constant rumbling thunder, really relaxing.

[Dami]

bug all here, had a heavy shower.

boo hiss.

[moogyboobles]

Ooh just heard a rumble of thunder in South Woodham, not heard that in a while.

[andymcpool]

Hugh crack of thunder just now in sw11

[tomp456]

Typical. All storms are moving W-E just a few miles north of me. 

 

[Lauren]

Sky looking very angry!

[andymcpool]

More stormage in sw11

[Wimbledon88]

Bonkers storm now in SW London. 

Frequent lightning. 

[Blazerblue]

Small pocket of rain just reached us, half hour ago on the radar, looked like a wall of water headed this way, but almost all gone by the time it reached us. No storms for us in triangle as usual.

[andymcpool]

Crazy! Even have hailstones coming down my chimney!!

[andymcpool]

Hail like snow!!! Reminds me of 15 years ago in Battersea!

Morning all,

Are we all giddy with excitement over another yawnfest in the Eastern provinces?

[Blazerblue]

What started as a sunny blue sky morning is quickly turning cloudy, still predominantly big white fluffy clouds but that no doubt that will change just as quick. Will we see a storm today, probably not.

[m1chaels]

Local weather stations reported 22mm...in 10 minutes yesterday!

[suffolk lady]

Lovely start here as well but same as Blazerblue  big clouds building up and also a pesky light wind, storms what storms is the thought for our area non on the horizon yesterday and will get bypassed today probably.

[Reefseeker]

Amazing the difference a few miles can make in stormy weather. In Surbiton yesterday we got the edge of the storms = a few heavyish downpours and a rumble or two that could have been planes overhead. But those just to the east of us seem to have got full-on thunderstorms and stair rods. Maybe today will be our day for a good light show.

Grey outside and dry for now. At least I'm back in light summer waterproofs and out of the winter coats finally.

Lots of strikes about 8 miles north of us according to the lightening radar, zip nadda zilch here, not a drop of rain either. All around us!

Beautiful start to the day, I even went out for a run in short leggings and a t-shirt remarking that it almost felt like a Summer's morning with all the promise that brings. Now sitting inside with my hoodie and the lights on - got the washing on the line for about 15mins (bit optimistic looking at the incoming radar returns). Probably going to change my outdoor afternoon plans to inside ones.

[Blazerblue]

The rain has now reached us, nothing thundery though
