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- December 6th 1976
An unstable southwesterly airstream covered southern England and ireland with some heavy showers. In Wexford a thunderstorm led to much lightning damage. One particular flash was “like a blue ball of fire”. At Eype in Dorset a small tornado picked up a shed and threw it into a road.A tornado at Beaminster in 1904 tore off roofs and damaged an orchard.
Severe gales occurred on the 6th in 1929 with 111mph gust recorded at the Isles of Scilly as a deep low down to 950 mb moved NE over western districts. A mean speed of 70 mph was measured at Falmouth with a gust to 103 mph.
