Storms east coast scotland

[fermerboy]

Had a spectacular show last night about midnight in Banffshire. Serious lightening flashes and some very loud bangs of thunder.
I must be quite sad as I went out into the buildings to watch it.
Rain gauge saying 44mm this morning since 11pm.
Hot and sunny now.

Only about 3 miles from me as the crow flies. Had 18mm here last night and a farm over that way had 35!

Got some deer stalking near and ran a business from Lauder so used to pass that way often when I lived in Perth.

I absolutely love a good storm but in Dumfriesshire we seem to miss most of them.
Monday night we had severe rain and some decent rumbles and flashes but well spaced apart so not a decent watch.

Had bugger all since.

 

[Sandy]

Quite boring here only had 4mm between 7.30 to 9.30 this morning off out spraying now

 

[Chae1]

Train derailed not far from here.

Scary stuff.

 

[Kidds]

Not Scotland but we had intense lighting and thunder. No rain!
Lighting almost constant and enough to give arc eye. Incredibly bright.

 

[Happy]

90mm overnight in Perth which is 6 weeks worth. Half of that fell in one hour.
Never known thunder and lightning like it. Pretty much non stop sheet lightening from 9pm to 7am.
Hasn’t done the fields or local roads much good

 

[Hillside]

Our nearest weather station recorded 65mm last night but some mess left.

 

[Donkey Oaty]

My local SEPA station has recorded 106mm but it seems to very localised as other ones near here are much less.

Dunottar? You must be quite close to the train crash. Horrible news coming out.

Yes. Its only about 4 miles away. Its not remote but it has happened in a challenging location. A real tragedy as a result of the weather.

A pretty spectacular non stop display of lightning that went on from 7pm through most of the night. It was like a welder was going most of the time with flashes every few seconds.
35mm of rain here but neighbour reckons it's more like 45
Everyone's safe so thays the main thing.

Think we have had over 50mm. hard to tell as the measuring device was overflowing...
11 miles east in Haddington they had virtually nothing.

Any one on here just north of Aberdeen. Look over a tractor please.
know it’s off topic. But your area

Only 9 on the train, imagine the death toll if it had been pre- Covid!

 

[Farma Parma]

Hellish freak weather up North, still nothing here.
as a contrast a year ago over 4 days 8th to the 12th funny enuff we had 112mm of Rain.... and all the harvest hassle that then followed.
Scotland were thinking of yas tonight....

See my first post...

We also had lots of thunder around 5pm today. So that's 3 storms in 3 days

I checked my farm rain gauge today. It says we had 66mm. That sounds more like it.

 

[glasshouse]

it wasn't Fife, it was Africa apparently!

No difference!!
