Lightning storm hits Eastbourne

A lightning storm passed over Eastbourne last night (Wednesday, September 8).

Heavy rain also hit the town, before the lightning and thunder, with the Met Office predicting a downpour from 9pm.

The evening weather was a stark contrast to the 29° enjoyed throughout the town just hours before, according to the Met Office.
