Met Office thunderstorm weather alert warns of 'danger to life'

[Len]

This is very worrying.

[Graham Easterling]

Some torrential rain & thunder along the whole of the south Cornwall coast, set off by the onset of sea breeze. Normally it's a north coast even, as the north coast sea breeze meets a light humid S-SE gradient wind. A bit unusual for a northerly to be so humid. Anyway, here's the radar

Dry in Penzance with bursts of sunshine, after a little mizzle this morning. Quite blue over Mount's Bay, with towering Cb just visible to the east.

Porthleven (for a change) 16:00

I would have thought thunderstorms always present a danger to life?

Safely in Penzance

I am still alive.

Had 8.7 mm of heavy rain in 1 hour. No thunder.

It is raining again now.

As showers move south slowly.
