Thunderstorms

One or two rumbles throughout today, mostly hot, little bit of sun this after noon, split by the odd shower.

It has gone cold quite fast, so maybe a little thunder incoming? :D
 
Im on holiday in south west France, a place called Juignac. We had the mother of all thunderstorms last night. 3 hours of constant wall to wall fork lightning shooting down in all directions to the ground and sideways rain. It was both scary and unbelievable, never seen anything like it. I shot some of it on my camcorder from an upstairs window in the farmhouse we are staying at and I'll get it on up on YouTube when I get back.

When we got up this morning there was quite a bit damage in the garden - mainly part of our roof had blown off and part of a tree had fallen down and debris everywhere, so we helped our French hosts with a bit of the Dunkirk spirit and helped tidy the place up. The fella said in his 68 years he had never seen a storm like it.

Edit. The weather down here is pure sunshine in mid 40's unbelievably hot.

Just seen some lightning and distant rumbles in the English Channel - narrow but potent line of storms moving NE. Behind that is the MCS now moving past Nantes and could hit SE England by the early morning - it does seem to be moving N-NE quite quickly

In that radar image bulldog there was a confirmed Supercell over NW France today.

The thunderstorms missed us but I certainly heard it, like cracking in the distance..

The next big one is due to hit us later, that was always due to happen !

We shall see
 
Met office app reporting sun, rain and cloud today in Leeds :rolleyes:

I'm sure I could do a better job of predicting weather them - "Its going to be hot and maybe cold with some sun, rain and possibly thunder and snow"
 
Another report from our holiday home in Juignac France..... Omg! Another storm last night and it was worse than the previous night. Really strange watching it. From 9pm in the distance we were watching the lightning in the South West, but no thunder. By 1am it was non stop flashing lightning again and torrential sideways rain. The power went out last night and now 10.30am it's still off.
