An extreme cold front was making its progress across the UK. By the time UK Storm Chasers finished work this cold front had already given arise to various storm reports of coverings of hail. Houses been damaged by straight-line winds and some places recorded over an inch of rain. We set off at approximately 7pm from Winchester racing against time to beat it to the extremities of Kent. Heading east we encounter ridiculous traffic on the M25 and on crossing the Kent border a moderate rain began to fall and the temperature began creeping up as we caught the cold front. However before we new it we ran out of land! Frustratingly we could see the convection associated with the front over the English Channel and North sea but could obliviously chase no further. We tool the opportunity to take some photos on an extremely dark and creepy cove just outside Margate. UK Storm Chasers are biting at the bit and desperately waiting for a real weather event!
