Very electrically active short lived thunderstorms racing by this evening
from SE to NW. They seem to be forming over the high ground just to the
south east of me. I have had to turn the computer off twice. Extremely loud
thunder and intense bursts of rain but not lasting much more than 5 minutes
and not showing up too well on radar. The wind at mid level is around 40
knots or so. Rainfall only 5mm due to their brevity.
