UK weather is weird!

[Purplepixii]

It's cold, there's been snow in the UK today, we've had a lot of heavy rain, yet at the moment where I am it's lightning!!

I was just outside "enjoying the fresh air" and I saw the sky light up. I thought it was a silent firework (there was no sound) but I've just checked one of my fave websites (Live storm data from Newport, Isle of Wight from a Boltek StormTracker lightning detector) and it's lightning!


How odd

(P.S. It's a fab site if you like knowing when it's going to storm )

Raining here in east Essex, but not particularly cold..... Never heard of lightning in mid November.

Looking at some of the cloud formations today I can quite see why some of us had thunderstorms. The sky looked really "angry" at times. Then tempered by some brilliant rainbows.

Have seen one Moonbow (Lunar Rainbow). At sea some years back. It was like a white rainbow, couldnt make out colours. Fascinating though.

You dont have to tell me that you can get al;l the seasons within a space of less than a day,the only weather forecast you can go by is the local forecast for your own area national forecast forget it you have more chance of winning the lottery than them getting it right

Bit blustery here in Surrey this afternoon. I like the wind Especially when it forms those teeny tornadoes with leaves! Reminds me of the school playground!
