    Is it bad that I'm looking at every plane landing waiting to see if one strikes it?! :)

    Even work can't stop me watching the weather ha! Went out the back for the thunder and lightning ... Was amazing! Got some on my phone ( will upload later)

    Then I went it and part 2 came , along wit a huge bang of thunder ( must of been real close ! )

    And Maq, that does look like a bow echo indeed! Hopefully some people got some nice pics! ,

    The band of shower crossing the country hopefully keeps it's strength for the east for round 3 ha :D

    Off now in 10 mins , wahoo !

    Nothing here, every time it looks like it might rain (in about 10 mins as I type) it doesn't.

    Haha, I had started typing before you edited to say it was weakening, it can be slow browsing on the phone.

    In stark contrast, its been a beautiful day here, warm, calm and sunny all day. Cant really complain but its been an age since I've experienced anything more than a few isolated claps of thunder so naturally envious

    Terrifying experience on Kill Hill near Kill Village. Lightning bolt hit the ground literally a few hundred yards from where me and the mutts were cowering under a gorse bush in heavy hail:eek: - I've never seen a T Storm develope so fast in my life which is why I got caught out in such circumstances. I've aged at least 5 years in just 30 minutes today:(

    Feckin' hate this unsettled February to April weather that veers between winter and spring. Of late there's been sun, wind, torrential rain, humidity, awful clammy damp cold - heating needs to be on, heating needs to be off. Make up your mind, weather! :mad::pac:
