Heavy thunderstorm has recently developed over the Isle of Wight and
is now overhead here in West Fareham, seems to be heading North East.

Frequent lightning flashes, heavy thunder very close by, very heavy
rain as i write.

It's all over now and the sun is out through breaks in the cloud.
Heavy yes, prolonged, no.

The total amount of rainfall I have recorded for this one event is
12.6mm.

Hi Dave,

The sky is split into two halves as viewed from Romsey;
the east looks very unstable, filled with AC castellanus
and distant CB, while the west is composed of stable,
higher AC. Patches of low CU fractus in all directions.

Thunder was first detected to the SE at 1330Z, where
several distant rumbles were heard. Tracking N or NE,
the storm is now (1415Z) out of earshot.

Nil rainfall during the thunder episode here. How much
did you receive? Sounds quite a splashing to me.

.... been very quiet here in East Dorset - a 'heavy' atmosphere, with
sporadic, mostly light rainfall from medium level cloud (and none of
that looked particularly 'threatening'), which has produced 0.3 mm
since 09Z, most of it between 1230 & 1500Z. Currently OVC high-base
As, with patchy Ac underneath & hardly a breath of wind.

Martin.

Then it is seriously inaccurate. There were storms in the area of
the Belgian coast this morning but not this evening.

Guess what time I walked to Asda in Bournemouth? ;-)

I did notice that even though it was raining (albeit slightly), the
position of the sun could still be discerned and you could definitely
feel warmth from it.
