- Wait patiently all evening for the frontal wave to clear π§οΈ, leaving a spectacular display of the aurora here in south Norfolk - arguably the best display I've seen by eye this far south (52.5Β°N) #AuroraBorealis #northernlights
- This CCTV video, captured by @CarlStebbings, portrays a likely non-mesocyclonic tornado at Horham Airfield in north Suffolk on Thursday. It happened at 12:31-12:32 BST, as a shower to the north was rapidly intensifying. Lightning occurred around 10 minutes later βοΈπͺοΈ
00:00 - 1976 ranks as the 2nd warmest summer in England on record, however the highest temperature recorded was 35.9Β°C These maps highlight the difference in extent and intensity of the heat between 1976 and the highest temperature recorded in the past ~60 years with early next week...
- Couple of shots from east Kent yesterday evening. Some fantastic structure, and then a deluge of rainfall - looks like some areas saw in excess of 50mm. Chased these storms for over 5 hours - not bad for UK standards! β‘οΈ
- Stunning image of a 'tornado scar' from last Friday's EF2 tornado in Illinois reveals how lucky this farmhouse was:
- Here's another fantastic shot by Colin Burch of the #waterspout around 20:30 last night at #Thorpeness, Suffolk:
- Provisional analysis of #StormEunice π¬οΈ suggests many sites in southern Britain recorded their strongest wind gusts for 20-30 years, locally more. A few stations also set new records...
- Shelf cloud approaching Dungeness in SE Kent on Wednesday evening. Shortly after this photo was taken very gusty outflow winds hit, and a few minutes after that torrential rain began... βοΈ
- After the best part of 13 years at @weatherquest_uk and 11 years at @BBCLookEast, I'm moving on to pastures new this summer and joining the @metoffice. I've had such a fantastic time working with some brilliant colleagues over the years β but exciting new adventures await...
- Waited all week for Friday night, as it looked like it would be our first chance of some clear sky to view Comet NEOWISE - very cool to see it with the naked eye! A decent display of noctilucent cloud towards the end of the night too (comet still visible top right)... βοΈβ¨
