Eednud Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We usually don't get much rain in February but we've already had just under double the monthly average (15.4mm) and most of that in the last 24 hours (29mm). Although on Wednesday summer returns with a high of 40 then 3 days of 37. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I lived through the Great Perth Electrical Storm of 2017 last night. Severe thunder, lightning and rain - for that is what a storm is - from about 9pm til 5am this morning. Never heard thunder like it. The full house actually shook thrice times. Incredible scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Storm here last night, started about 20:00 until 04:30 lighting & thunder all through the Scotland game. Very unusual for this time of year. Flooded the garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Seen a bunch of stormchasers died in a car crash last night in Texas. Kelley Williamson was one, a guy if you follow any of the live streams of stormchases online you'll be familiar with. He does spotting for the Weather Channel as well. A lot of people behaving like idiots in the chase game and putting their lives on the line just for the sake of seeing a tornado. Even worse when they can control their driving unlike the weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, my house is still standing. We were a bit luckier than the poor b*****ds up at Airlie Beach and Bowen. Today is the first day in ages that we have no wind and rain. I've been able to get out and start to clean up a bit. There is still over 45% of Mackay without power and that included the water treatment plant. So we were told there was only 24 hours worth of clean water if they could not get power reconnected. Thankfully they have power on now, but the river where they get our drinking water from is too dirty to use. Lots of trees down and still bad flooded areas around. This cyclone is not the first one I've been through, but It was the worse I've experienced. It was so fucking slow moving.

CityDave Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 What a heat up here in Inverness, 26c at 10am this morning, I can't remember those kind of temperatures that early in the day up here. Its been a very hot last three days but it looks set to break this afternoon. Seeing last night on the weather radar the sferics lined up moving from the south to north across the Western Isles. It already appears to be kicking off again, looks like the SE of England getting some thunder and lightning just now. Heavy thundery showers predicted up here for the afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it, better keep one hand on the steering wheel while you're texting though, just in case.
