Seems to be making very slow progress across France... https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12

A few minutes ago @Papa Lazarou shared this with me: "FYI. There is a narrow band of potentially very strong winds about to hit us from the West. A low risk of Tornadoes in there." Currently three car alarms are going off on our street.

That would be typical Brighton - best ever manager and squad with the first-ever European campaign due to begin and BANG! - the world ends.

The sky is lighting up every few seconds around Findon, but no thunder at all yet.

Yep - the dog knows already and is starting to get stressed.

Incoming? https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12

I recall weatherman-in-residence @Papa Lazarou previously explaining why the online/app BBC weather forecast can be so unreliable. I think it may be something to do with it being entirely automated and produces an average, of sorts, of various weather model inputs. Anyway, I'll leave it to him...

Sure - but you've slung mud at the Met Office a few times in your last few posts, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the forecast you are complaining about!

...and to add, opening the Met Office's own weather app, it states it is currently cloudy in Brighton.

They don't - the BBC haven't used the Met Office for some years now.

Well, with the weather blowing up from the south today, I'm struggling to see where we're going to get hit from right now.

There's absolutely nothing on the radars nor the lightning detector sites that indicate we're going to see any storms of any kind in the next few hours.

All north west of London: https://www.lightningmaps.org/#m=oss;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=;ts=0;y=50.9238;x=0.011;z=7;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

Really? Are we likely to have thunder in Worthing tonight? Henry is with my Mum and he hates thunder.

A few rumbles in Findon this afternoon. Loud enough to upset the dog.

Was there a single crash of thunder over Worthing this morning, or was it in my dream?

Blimey - out of nowhere a really bright flash of lightning in Findon, immediately followed by one of the loudest crashes of thunder I've ever heard.

I preferred the good old days when they sent us wine and cheese.

Seems to be mainly west of Worthing currently.

Ah that explains why the dog has gone all frantic.
