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

[Uxbridge90]

In the garden with a cold one, still 30c and lots of blue sky.

Further East looks great fun!

[Gowon]

Just heard a rumble of distant thunder! 

[Reefseeker]

Will it, won't it to the SW of London? I'm going won't. Sweltering in the garden.

There's nothing beautiful about being sunburnt 

There isn't no, but the cold sea does help a bit

[Eagle Eye]

I'm waiting for these new cellls that are beggining to fire to come my way now.

Was just on the outskirts of the storm that's going through East Kent, was looking forward to a decent storm but only distant rumbles of thunder with the odd loud one. 

[Gowon]

We have fat raindrops 

[Norfolk Sheep]

Well, in the history of storms this one has to be the slowest most boringest storm ever.....

[Biggin]

Couple of rumbles ?? surely not...

[stodge]

The storm I was thinking might develop over East London has developed more to the other side of the river over SE London.

Looks very heavy rain over Bexley and Thamesmead and stretching back eastwards down the river.

[Mark]

Thunder almost constant from the east. Keeps missing by a few miles.

still just a bit of wind here

[NYCSnow]

Skies suddenly darkening to the north and my phone lightning app just pinged so perhaps it’s not over for us yet?!

[Dami]

flick all in bedford but the winds got up and i can see lots of cauli tops.

Ah well the wind is nice if a bit hot.

Storms are around my east.

[Gowon]

Chucking it down now, so I won't need to water the plants. 

[Mark]

Orpington getting the brunt currently, south of me. Basically just developing a mile so away. 

[Uxbridge90]

Cell seems to have appeared overhead in West London, bit of rain and feeling very tropical.

Happy to do a naked rain dance if it'll help initiate a thunderstorm

[Hotspur62]

Nice bit of rain that saves me watering the garden here in Locksbottom.Been rumbling away since about 12.45 in our area but up until 15 mins ago we had no rain.It seemed to be just to the east of us that was getting the rain earlier.Incredibly humid and will be another uncomfortable night sleep wise I think

[Dami]

ok just hear thunder

[Norfolk Sheep]

My cup runneth over, thundery rain from a stupid anvil as storm backbuilds northwards. 

[Wet'n'Dry]

I'm surprised there aren't any reports from my area, 40 minutes back we had an absolutely massive storm.

A squall line with extreme winds, we thought it was a tornado, constant thunder, 1" hail, incredible amounts of rain. It's currently tracking SSE towards Maidstone and beyond.

I did take a video but can't share it due to a few expletives at the awesome power of this thing.

It ended with an awesome double rainbow with the bows at roughly 10 and 30 degrees above the horizon!!!!
