Bit of excitement here on the south coast this morning, we had a thunderstorm with some torrential rain & on Hayling Island (next to Portsmouth) there was a small tornado! My sister lives on Hayling & it just missed her house with houses in the road next to hers being damaged. There are reports that there was another tornado in Gosport too...

The weather is a bit calmer now & we had had some sunny spells since...

Last Nights Low: 15.5C
@ 13:02 17.5C

Coastal areas are good for thunderstorms and tornadoes in the fall in the UK. I think our storm season up here is over until next July (and will end in August).

Yeah we do get quite a few tornados locally, especially at this time of the year. The strongest tornado ever recorded in the UK happened in Portsmouth, a T8 in 1810...

17C, humid and overcast at 14:17. We just had a brief thunderstorm which was nice. We also had one at midnight last night.
We've actually had a decent year for thunderstorms.

You can tell we don't really get them often when the British posters come on here to advertise every time there's a flash and a rumble.

The Americans probably read it and think "yadda yadda a thunderstorm whoopee" while rolling their eyes.

16h00, 20c. Some sun mixed with some showers, some thunderstorms away.

The ground is wet, Colors in the trees are mixed green and some yellow... Tipical october ambiance. Perfect for mushrooms hunting...

We've had 2 in the last 12 hours that were overhead. Certainly more than a flash and a rumble.
