Thunderstorms

Easing off here now

For posterity heres my weather website with the 110.7mm/hr rain fall record (for here) recorded at 711pm

We lost electricity here for a few minutes at the height of the storm when the thing was flashing every few minutes.
The poor dogs were going mad!
My brother 2 miles over the road still has no power and the village beside him is out.

Rain has got even heavier here and was a real downpour at one stage.

Snowbie

lol,has stopped now out to sea,just before it reached the coast.Detector is going ballistic here at one stage.Bleeping like mad.Then silence.

Trogdor

roads are turning more to rivers here now, rain rate up to 22.6mm/hr

Supercell

Brighter to the south how, seems like a squall line just passed. Absolutely lashed down briefly and ran rate went to 93.7mm/hr.

Fantastic stuff, this is exactly why some of us love the weather

ninebeanrows

Look at that nice little squall line at the arse of our current torrential rain.

Birds in the air again and just 9.1mm/hr, can make out cloud details again. Looks like main event over for the moment here .

Heh, looks like it passed over here just before you typed that, packed quite a punch too with 93.7mm/hr rain rate briefly. Tristrame had higher and is using the same type of kit as me so would suspect its weakening a bit as it goes north.

Supercell

Mothman give yer pc a kick..its seems to have stopped updating in the crucial period!!....maybe thats telling something in itself though?

ninebeanrows

Thunder and Lightning is here, ENJOY:D

Take care

highdef

Flash of lightning over the sea to my northeast just now, over towards Weathercheck's house, I do believe!!!

Trogdor

Flash and boom here to my East. Getting brighter now though, seems to be ending with a bang;)

rc28

YAY!! First thunder here in meath! It was off to the east but definitely thunder. Lashing rain here and is very dark now.

bennyx_o

Flash of lightning and thunder just there, still lashing down. Hoping theres more.

Snowbie

On the graph to the bottom right,you can see when the strikes are close.The yellow indicates noise assistant ranging.It makes for better accuracy when a storm is approaching and then it just stops.Died just off the coast.
UK is on fire atm yet again.

Edit a flash to my se now.Load rumble.

SpitfireIV

Seems to be brightening up and clearing off here now, nice and bright to the SE, dark, gloomy and thundery looking to the NW.

ninebeanrows

Looks like we all saw that one explosion..

Could that of been a plane being struck?
