Thunder and lightning
 

WIndow open due to extreme heat.

Woken up at about 7am by some loud thunder. Got back to sleep. Now woken up
by a massive downpour, nice bright lightning and the loudest thunder i heard
in ages.


Ahh lovely birmingham

Seem to have missed it here. Had a downpour 10 mins ago but it lasted only a couple of minutes and now it's almost sunny!! CVrazy weather! Give me back the sunshine...my legs are still pasty white!

Not an intense thunderstorm but it did wake me up at 8 this morning.
It seems to be on/off at the moment with some rain (at last!) inbetween.

Just having a slight shower here at the moment, not sure if it's going to turn into something heavier.

No rain at all down here in folkestone... kent still seems to be all sunny...

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

It's nice now. It thundered/rained from about 7am (i think, well that's when I noticed it, i was asleep at the time though) until about 1 and now it's about 18 C and there's a slight breeze.

Still rumbling here

It's doing the works here :)

In fact the power keeps flickering on and off so I don't know how much longer I'll be on.

Had a storm at about 7-8AM this mroning, ever since that it's just been dull and cloudy.

All OK in Sunny (East) Surrey, wind got up about midday but now calm and a bit cooler.
Ideal for tonights bowls match and hot dogs afterwards, sitting on the pavilion terrace. (I hope) !

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

Now starting to rain in Weybridge (North Surrey), I wouldn't hold out much hope for your bowls evening.

My hardware is all plugged into a good surge protector, so that should be safe, but obviously the white co-ax cable goes straight into the back of the CM and then on to the Router.....

Is this ok or am I likely to fry my machines if we get a lightning strike?

Exelent :)

Huge thunderstorm over St Albans.. Realy loud thunder and its chucking it down...... Nice !!

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

i wish it would here :(

If there is a strike local then yes your equiptment will be damaged. If its that bad it would be an idea to isolate the coax m8..
