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

Re: Thunder and lightning
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.

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

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.

Re: Thunder and lightning
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.

Re: Thunder and lightning
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.

Re: Thunder and lightning
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?

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..
