Above: Large cumuliform clouds leading to heavy showers building in the distance over the North Downs as seen from the South Downs at Chanctonbury Hill. Taken around 17.00 hrs on the 15th June. It was sunny most of the day on the South Downs and across the south of Sussex, a typical situation in the summer with the Channel preventing showers forming for quite some way inland. It is the opposite in the autumn and winter with enhanced rain for the Downs and coastal locations and this helped to give a mammoth rainfall total for October 2020 of 233.2mm at Storrington.
The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

On This Day- February 22nd 1995
A dramatic line squall crossed the country bringing a combination of strong winds frequent lightning, hail and a spell of snow. There was a sharp drop in temperature falling 6C to 8C in a matter of minutes. Snow covered the higher parts of the North Downs. In South Wales lightning struck an electricity generator blacking out the centre of Swansea.
The 1903 dust storm continued with the sky at Haverfordwest in west Wales reported as looking like the colour of brass. At Crowborough in Sussex rain was described as being of a remarkable colour and consistency, being thick, and of a dirty, reddish-yellow tint obscuring windows and covering trees and bushes.
