I reckon it was south of Hayling Island, about 19:00. My first ever
sighting of one, so I'm suitably thrilled :-)

Fantastic, I've never yet seen one (ball lightning is 'my' rare
event).

Looking at the Netweather 1Km/5min radar, there is a small intense and
discrete rain patch shown south of Hayling and east of Bembridge at
around 18:45 moving SE, it is no more than 3Km square and shows
precipitation intensity up to 96mm/hour, I reckon that's the one!

When I was a kid in Majorca on holiday a storm came in, and produced 5 water spouts in the bay right in front of the hotel. It was an incredible sight watching them dancing around for what must have been 20 minutes or so.

Must have been awe-inspiring, Matt.

When I was working for the Isles of Scilly Steamship Co. my office had a clear view right across Mount's Bay and I once saw 2 waterspouts about 1 mile apart.

No photographs of these, but we did have funnel clouds on consecutive days (17th & 18th August 2006) one of which passed almost directly over my house http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/Aug2006Storms.PDF

It is great to have exciting weather occasionally!

It's gone flat again http://magicseaweed.com/Live-Sennen-Webcam/65/ also no deep blue skies today.

When I was a kid and used to go to the cinema to see a western, I'd
always check the credits - this was in the days when they came at the
start of the film - to look out for "special effects". When I saw that,
I was pretty sure there was going to be a tornado somewhere in the
film. Imagine my surprise when, one Sunday in July in the mid-1950s in
Rushden, I saw a tornado in the distance just like the ones I'd seen in
the movies. At the time, I didn't know they occurred in this country.

The best display of funnel clouds that I saw apart from that one was at
RAE Bedford in August, probably 1964, when there were five visible at
the same time.

I was mentioned on BBC South local news at lunch-time today, and they
showed a photograph very similar to yours.

Sorry, make that "it was mentioned"!
