    Morning all, Fantabulous start to the day here. Unbroken sunshine since the word go. I've been reliably informed, however, that I'm perilously close to the fog! (It's just two miles away apparently.) Currently slap bang on 13°. All that remains to be done is pray that the models have got their ideas for later this week - and over the weekend - wrong. The idea of all that cold rain, and north-easterlies, in October fills me with no joy whatsoever. Have a great Monday, folks. And for those that haven't got the sun, hope it appears soon. Lee

    Afternoon all, And, yep, what a stunner. The pessimist in me feared for the day around 11, when some ominous convective cumulus just developed within minutes, and blocked the sun out for half an hour. But then they moved off, and it has been blue skies and 'nice' cumulus ever since. Made the most of it by planting daffodil bulbs! Good time to do it. Not just because it's a lovely day today, but because the soil is nice and soft after the recent rain. So, anyway, hopefully a blaze of yellow come March. Currently a very respectable 19.6°, with sunshine and a light breeze. And as a few others have said, I'd rather have THIS in October, than the cold rain we could be seeing towards the end of next week. No problem with it if it wants to be cold and sunny - but cold and wet is just depressing!

    You're welcome. Hope it's what you're looking for. (I have a bookmark for a Dutch site which shows an animation of the lightning over the whole of Europe for the last month. Was going to post that too.....except it now gives you "404 Not Found" .) ________________ Bit of a 'no weather' day here too so far. Some brightness first thing, but it was rapidly replaced by the greyness others are reporting. 16°. Yawn...

    Ta. Good old Gravesend! (And here, just along the A2, it's currently 19.3°C. So we're not too far behind!)

    Never known a club house on a golf course without one! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/summaries/anomacts Select 'lightning strikes' from the 'climate variable' drop-down. That what you mean?
  6. Anvils in the Sky
    Not my fave events either, I'll be honest. You may have to sneak out and find a pub!
  7. Anvils in the Sky
    Indeed. And beers in the Big Smoke for me tonight. Will report back on any thunderstorms, tornadoes etc in the capital this evening. (So, yep, that means it's 99.9999% likely I'll have nothing to report back on!)
  8. Anvils in the Sky
    Just made it to 18.3° here, in a lengthy sunny spell. Clouding over again now....but it's all moving so quickly up there.

    Morning folks, As I mentioned last night, we were just a little too far west - yet again! - for the main electrical activity. Nothing beats being right under the cell of course......but being a few miles from the edge does have its benefits. It means we got to see the sky to the south, and then east, being lit up by some incredible lightning. Two or three overhead flashes and booms here in the end, but on nothing like the scale being witnessed 15/20 miles away. East Kent trumps the western half once again! Glad to see a few more commented on how mild it was last night. It was amazing for October. 16.5° when I hit the sack shortly after midnight. And the mild air is still with us; 17.2° at present. Sun poking through the fast-moving clouds too. 20° in the SE today? Lee

    Watching to the east, rather than the south, for all the lightning now. Would say Sittingbourne/Faversham must be under a storm at the moment. Just too far west here....again. But at least I've been seeing and hearing something!
  11. Anvils in the Sky
    Certainly some closer T&L here now. Nothing major, and far from being right overhead, but better than nothing!
  12. Anvils in the Sky
    Plenty of lightning now to my south. But too distant for me to hear much thunder. In fact, only one rumble heard so far.
  13. Anvils in the Sky
    Just seen a very impressive flash of lightning to my south. Must be what's over your part of the county.
  14. Anvils in the Sky
    Enjoy it. (But don't use it all up before you send it to Kent!)
  15. Anvils in the Sky
    Some fantastic lightning at the moment. Fingers crossed it's heading towards us lot.
