Default Very localised lightning and heavy rain - Dunsfold, Surrey



021105 22335 approx.

The biggest and brightest lightning flash I have ever encountered. I
ducked in the driving seat. No thunder.

The road through Dunsfold heading NW obscured by rain bouncing a foot
high, with leaves and tree debris. Couldn't see if larger branches were
hidden in this. Much deep standing water.

By contrast about 3-4 miles away at Godalming, ten or twenty minutes
later, stars visible, some puddles but no sign of the downpour.
Apparently it came much earlier here.

Glad I left guitar practise in Alfold a bit early.
