Still no storms, had one pass to our west travelling north during mid
afternoon with some fairly lively thunder, but not a drop of rain from that
one. A twenty minute shower this morning around 7am.
I am beginning to think the storms have a policy of avoidence when it comes
to this part of Essex. One look at the radar and we are surrounded by them
but they don't come here.
Well not yet anyways!!

That storm seemed to be centred over West Horndon which is just a few
miles from Langdon Hills where I was yesterday. I heard that the
rainfall and heavy hail was very intense at one point - with the ground
and garden furniture still wet at 6pm - three hours afterwards. But not
a drop just to the east! Amazing isn't it!
