Been looking for Jersey webcams for ages but can only find the nest.gg ones for  GSY 

 

Here's a couple of links for you

Well, it seems there advantages to being awake all night with a grumpy baby! radar looking very impressive, blitzortung lighting up like a Christmas tree too... Bet that south Coast view is good tonight, anyone down there with a camera? Think, it'll be a little while before we see anything, hopefully it'll make up for the lack of visibility for the meteor shower....

I am down near the coast but the view from my house is rather obstructed to the south, can normally see distant flashes but nothing at the moment...it's a shame because I would normally be on the sea front but with results day tomorrow that may not be a good idea!

Seems to be stuck in the channel towards Sussex. Front of the main cell seems to die of at it makes inroads. I think thundery rain is in store

Just like the Bees, its all about the buzz we get from it all. Let your energy wreak havoc Mother Nature.       With the added assumption everyone stays safe that is.

A picture taken about an hour or so ago by local photographer Jose Pires along our South coast looking WSW. Incidentally, he took this shot from inside a car - probably a wise move

I aml looking the real lighting maps and the stroms coming out of France on the English channel are not dieing out because I can see lighting spots getting near Plymouth.

[Rain123]

It looks as if the first band of storms may miss here.

Annoying that the radar is down, had to go and look at the Met Office's radar, in for some interesting few hours in the far west.  Can anyone wake up the IT guy at NetWeather, give the server a kick?

[gottolovethisweather]

Prediction time.

 

Much of Cornwall very heavy, some torrential rain incoming from 1am onwards onwards up to and past dawn, wettest part of the UK by morning for sure. Some bits and pieces of T&L here.

 

South Coast especially from Southampton/Portsmouth Eastwards over to Hastings, expect torrential rain amongst some mainly moderate bursts but with a greater risk of intense T&L outbreaks than elsewhere. I expect much of this action to occur from 1:30am onwards.

 

Further inland up to CSE for example, my patch (expected to be on extreme Westward edge of main band) including areas such as parts of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire should start seeing any T&L from 3am onwards.

 

My analysis above is based pretty much around personal observations using some crude analysis of current media expectations and from what I've read in here, in addition to studying up to date evidence gathered from latest radar imagery and animations.

 

Good luck one and all, I'm pooped but still hope to be rudely awoken by Mother Nature at its best.

someone put 50p in the meter lol

[Chris K]

Why is it that the storms east of channel islands are heading towards the S/SE but the rest is staying pretty much in channel islands and off the Brest peninsula...so frustrating! I said I'd go bed an hour ago but then saw new cells firing rekindling my hopes haha...definitely bed time now it whiffs of bust for the W all over...unless its rain you want.

[gottolovethisweather]

As the French electricty boards own our meters I believe their own multicellular storms have crashed our networks, perhaps we can organise a blockade of sour milk for them.   Nah, we not jealous of your storms, what made you think that monsieur.   

[A Frayed Knot]

All working good here http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

[Cableguy]

Brisk NE wind and cool but with the potential of storms from the South........Odd night!

Bah I'm not getting NW radar either.. Anyone think North Devon in for any storms?  Or should I give up and go to zzzz Looking at other radars it does look very meaty out there in the channel but that was 1 hour ago..
