Windrush Weather

Frequent thunder, lightning and sunshine all in one afternoon

Yesterday stared with blue skies and strong sunshine but just before 11.00 cloud started to arrive from the south heralding an afternoon of thunderstorms. At 12.40 the first rumble of thunder was heard as the storm approached that reached its climax mid-afternoon with frequent lighting, at times overhead, that temporarily zapped my weather station and shut off the main electricity supply for a time. The barometer dropped over 3mb after midday to the lowest this month although rainfall was a modest total with 1.4mm.

A very warm and moist night followed with the lowest temperature at 15.4C rising quickly to 17.7C at 08.00.
