Thunderstorm Frustration

Since the last post, the weather has been no more than just pain frustrating! The clouds keep building up only to disappear again in the late evening without doing much at all. One good sign though is that the upper air movement is mostly from North North West to North North East. This is good because it brings moisture into Namibia from Angola. I suppose it is still a bit early in the season, and I am being a bit impatient. The temperatures are not quite where they aught to be for some real good thunderstorms yet, so we will have to wait a bit longer for the major action to get underway. There was a bit of lightning activity to the east and south on Saturday, but nothing that spectacular. The camcorder was out just in case and all what happened was a couple of bangs to the east, which I missed because I was setup for possible activity to the south.
The two or three strikes to the east must have been pretty good, because the reflection on the clouds to the south from those strikes was almost blinding!
