The sky at night.

I was watching the persiod meteor shower last night, I read online that the best time was after midnight, in five minutes I saw 3 really nice meteors in the east low down at about 10.45 and thought I'd go inside and come out at 12 for the big show. What a disappointment, although I had a clear sky above and to the east I only saw another 3 small ones in an hour. What I did see was loads of lightening a long way to the south and west, did anybody have a big thunderstorm last night? If so it didn't get to us.

All the family camped out last night till about 11.45pm and saw quite a few meteors including half a dozen good ones. We are on holiday in Kent and didn't expect to see any.

My bit of Kent was wet last night......and bucketing down today.

We are in Monkton near Manston Airport. It was a fairly clear night but no rain overnight. Its very grey and dark at the moment but no rain yet.

Pissing down here all day.

Not like that in GSG territory I can assure you mouldy.

Pissing down now and we have had thunder.

Welcome to the club mouldy......weather obviously coming from the west....lots more thunder and lightening coming your way.....plus the wet stuff of course.

PS........I know a nice little tea room in Broadstairs.
