Air is really dry but still, am always keen for something if it gets going. Brief storms around midday but nothing to really get that excited about and sink your teeth into. Only heard one rumble and that was it.

Yes was quite good rolling thunder for a time yesterday, even seen a nice bright purple flash of lightning while we were at the chip shopRichard wrote:Ive just got back from a few days down Alexandra and my wife told me there was thunder close by on Friday,

Re: Stormy WE 6 & 7 October
Got a graupelly shower @ 6:20pm with a slight burst of the SW. You could see it coming in a form of a type of virga of which term I won't explain as it's a bit rude and only suitable for adults
