wymberley Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Too hot indoors so have been sitting outside with a brandy or several. The sky is starting to lighten up almost continually and the silver birch which has been like a limp lettuce is starting to quiver in anticipation. Think I'll hit the "Submit Topic" and go back outside for the son et luminere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Almighty thunder and lightning show over Newmarket last night from 2-3am with a bit of rain thrown in too. Haven't seen that amount of fork lightning for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 We had incredible lightening at about 4 this morning. And a fair downpour but we were on the periphery and didn't get the thunder. Freshened everywhere right up this morning. Give the tractor lads an excuse to go to the royal welsh today because itll be too wet to combine.

JohnfromUK Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 We had two storms through. Gave an unusual trace on the barograph; the heavier vertical blue line in the centre is midnight., 2 hours per square on the horizontal time axis, 20 thousandths of an inch of mercury per division vertically (so the anomaly is about 1/10 inch mercury).

I must be about 20 miles or so south of you - and we had a little under half an inch of rain. See barograph trace above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIL1 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I like to read threads like this when sat on a sunbed next to the pool in blazing sunshine with a 25kmh wind gust in Kos 😁 Just now, PIL1 said: I like to read threads like this when sat on a sunbed next to the pool in blazing sunshine with a 25kmh wind gusts in Kos 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid .25 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Glorious sunshine till around 7.30pm then it started to cloud over and the wind got up , at around 2.30am we had really loud thunder , lightening strikes all over the place it was like sheet lightening then every so often we'd see lightening strike the ground and the rain was some of the heaviest I have seen for a very long time, anyway I suppose I'd better let the mrs know it's stopped and help her out of the cupboard.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 26 minutes ago, scutt said: .( SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THE FORECAST COS I WARTERED THE GARDEN BEFORE BED LAST NIGHT 🙄 ) Exactly the same as you , the garden was looking very dry so I got the hose out and spent nearly an hour doing the front and back , sat out there about 9 . 30 with a drink and everywhere smelt lovely , then the storm got here in the early hours and the thunder shook the house and the rain was very heavy , by 7am this morning it was all over and when I had my walk along the river it was lovely with the temp already up to the low 20s , a very good day to come .

bavarianbrit Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I thought the post was about Boris. It will be too hot to sit in a hide today IMO. I did make up a tripod affair 3 sticks with burlap sacking as camo last year so that I could sit down low in the middle of a field of unharvested grain but the sun will stop that one for the next few days.

Lord Geordie Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Rain and a few distant rumbles around 20 mile away from us at approx 3:30am but not a full on thunder storm unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
