no storm in hounslow....still sunny and hot as fuck

 

[sheothebudworths]

It's a weather-related joke. Don't worry.

It was surely train-related?



Please don't disappoint me.

By the way does anyone remember the formula for calucalating how close the lightening is?

Thanks

I shouldn't worry about that.

According to the program about thunderstorms on BBC2 the other week, if you can hear thunder you are within range of being struck.

 

[marty21]

okay the thunder may not be happening.. buts it rock and roll at 22:00 this evening.. In the space of a few hours the predicted temperature's fallen from 91 f to only 80 f !!!

Stepping off-topic slightly in this vein, there was a case of someone on a tropical island with clear blue skies getting struck by lightening from a storm many miles away.

A big fuck off thunderstorm is forecast for 16:00 hours today. Please feel free to post up your observations as the thunderstom develops.

each second = 330m as the speed of sound is 330m/s
so ball park 3 sec = 1km

as you were

*off to play golf with metal drivers *

The air is so humid, my desk fan is more like a horizontal shower than an air moving device.

 

[Skim]

Bring it on

 

[hiccup]

[Stobart Stopper]

Very dark in Hainault but not raining yet. Might go back in the paddling pool.

 

[Hollis]

Wow!! All manner of shite happening in the atmosphere now..phenomenal temperature changes.. and I'm just about to put the bbq on.. there is a god up there...

 

[mango5]

Just got our first rumble of thunder!

 

[Hollis]

I'm still thinking 60/40 - it could go either way!!!!

 

[Hollis]

BBC 24 hour now predicting drizzle at 01:00 BST!

 

[Stobart Stopper]

It's raining now but as soon as it touches the ground it evaporates. I don't think I can remember a day as hot as today.

Last Wednesday?

 

[mango5]

It's gone now. No sign of rain yet. But a strange hot wind is blowing

 

[Stobart Stopper]

This is shit, it keeps spitting huge raindrops but then it stops. I want hard, rampant thunder.

 

[zuszsa]

still nothing in Brixton. Hot n Humid, grey clouds and thats it. There is a certain 'something in the air' and the air pressure seems to have changed. I want thunder and lightning and I want it now

 

[waverunner]

Earth lightning clearing the air south of St.Reatham now.

 

[Stobart Stopper]

I can see some spectacular lightning from our back bedroom window, must be over in Kent/south London at the moment.

 

[waverunner]

Wow! Just saw the most beautiful lightning! Wish I could capture it on camera.

 

[netbob]

Ssstrange cold wind blowing, but still humid. Bring on the rain!

 

[Crispy]

A twinge of lightning in Brixton! Come on you bastard...
