The Great British Weather

The whole lightning without thunder thing is a bit unnerving. Is it because it's in a cloud?

Visible from Crystal Palace too. Looks amazing and is eerily silent.

I think the thunder is only audible in the dimension on the other end of the lightning induced wormhole.

Lightning at least approx 20 kms away

I'm now a fan of 'sound bending upwards'
=Met Office code for wormhole etc.

Heat lightning.

This is a cool site for following lightning. The little white circle radiating out from a strike is the sound wave, it's pretty accurate IME.

Looks like a sunset but it ain’t.

Thank you for that link.
It was a little closer than I guessed.

We are just west of Aylesbury and we sat in the garden watching the show until Mrs Ludd suggested we went to the pub. Sat in the pub garden going "ooh" like at a firework display. I took a few videos of it with the slo-mo setting on my phone. Amazing to see how the lightning dances.

We were having a bbq in Greenford watching that. Finally a proper light show!

After 45 minutes+ of thunder then the silent lightshow, Ruislip is suffering a 'normal' thunder & lightning free downpour.
Brightside; won't have to water the garden today.

Today has been pretty impressive. I thought the downpour around 7 last night was good, too.

I wish I had brought a jacket in today...

Same. T-shirt only was a bit cocky.

Fucksake, I don't want to have to dry the bike before I pack it for flight!

Also supposed to be picking up tools from Evans. Not fucking likely. You suck GBW.

when i checked at 6.15am it was forecast to be overcast but 14 rising to 22 this afternoon. I very nearly wore a basketball jersey for the commute so it would be nice and breezy on the ride home.

T-shirt and shorts. I'm more worried about my pristine drivetrain though and the fact I have to pack the feckin thing. Grr

One from that storm the other week
