@MetJam_ @Met4CastUK Similar sighting due north from Sussex coast around 20:10hrs

A few reports of a fireball over Margate this evening - inclined to think it’s this one in the meteor cameras at 19:19 UTC. Does anyone have any further reports?

@SussexTW A275 blocked both directions by tree down near South Chailey.

@UKStormUpdates heavy rumbling, south, west and north directions around Brighton

@Met4CastUK Hoping for some good views from Brighton

Taking a break from tracking now as I'm heading down to the south coast to hopefully get some decent views of these storms as they push in. Here's all the latest lightning & radar.

@Met4CastUK Looking directly north from Brighton

We do love a cheeky convergence line don’t we!

We've kicked off the weekend with widespread blue skies across the UK, as captured here by @chris_alpacas near Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire ☀️ We'd love to see even more of your weather photos today 📸 Share them below and using #LoveUKWeather

@SimonOKing Not a cloud in sight in Sussex …

How’s your sunny Saturday going? ☀️ UK 🇬🇧 looking fabulous from space…

@Met4CastUK Dense sea fog rolling in across Sussex coast, can’t get high enough to get a pic!

Low risk of lightning overall from todays showers but given colder air aloft across the SE to allow for slightly deeper convection the likelihood of lightning is slightly higher here. That's if showers develop that far east.

@brightonsnapper You have to simply admire the driving skills of today… that’s pretty impressive!

@brightonsnapper @sussex_police Sadly saw too many disgraceful and utterly foul mouthed drivers trying to get round people and driving too close and fast, whilst those driving sensibly with good distance between vehicles and at slow speed suffered their abuse and aggressive horn sounding!

@Met4CastUK Very little gritting evident and yes the rain washed it away before suddenly heavy snow changed everything in less than an hour.

Cars were abandoned in Hove this evening following moderate snowfall. I presume gritting wasn’t done or initial rain washed it away.

@Met4CastUK Still raining in Brighton, but 4 miles away at 500ft on nearby hills it was snowing heavily, but not laying … yet !

I suspect we’ll start to see increasing snow reports in the coming hours as heavier precipitation begins to move inland ❄️

@Met4CastUK Brighton - mixture of rain and sleet with snow settling only on high ground

WEATHER REPORT: If you're currently underneath this band of rain, sleet & snow. What do you have falling out of the sky & where are you? Ground reports help massively!

@UKStormUpdates storm approaching Brighton, lightning seen and distant rumbles heard

@Met4CastUK Large thick fog bank along coast line at Brighton, all clear just a mile further inland

Cloud cover is making a big difference to today’s temperatures.

@SimonOKing @BBCBreakfast Brighton with moon setting

If you’re doing some #aurora watching tonight, send your pictures! Either here or via Weather Watchers. 📷🌌 Will look at them all and feature as many as I can on @BBCBreakfast in the morning 🤩

@UKStormUpdates well after 2hrs of constant lightning (avg 30p/m) it’s all of a sudden calmed right down in Brighton… hardly any rain still, just a small shower!

@Met4CastUK Still plenty of lightning from all angles, but very little rain in Brighton if any

This is one hell of a storm system for the time of year.

@Met4CastUK Approaching Brighton now… Very bright lightning every minute or two and deep thunder, sadly view impeded so can’t film.

The radar echoes to the south of Brighton in the English channel are absolutely insane!!!!

@UKStormUpdates Waiting patiently here in Brighton…!

Several new #thunderstorms have developed in the English Channel, heading NW. Brighton could be a pretty good spot to be in right now if these storms don't die out! Radar from WQRadar.
