I'll be fishing tonight probably for the Cats while I'm there, as there's a much more important reason to be there over-night – to man and fuel the Pumps, as tomorrow with the sudden drop in temp and possible rain it's the perfect set of conditions for stratification/inversion and the consequent total fish kill to occur.
Prevention is better than a disaster, if possible.

I've just received an amber warning of thunderstorms for Kentt tomorrow afternoon. Is this likely to cause an oxygen crash?

Almost definitely. Lots of waters are going to be in trouble over the coming days

No two lakes are the same and the governing factors to cause a disaster are many- But worst case scenario;
Lake that's not in-line (No water flowing in/out constantly renewing /moving the water column), no Weed beds producing Oxygen during the long daylight hours, has not seen any rain or wind for many days - be on guard, and if possible get Pumps in to “Churn” the water column over ASAP
In basic terms - what happens is the water is pretty much the same temp throughout the water column with not being disturbed via waterflow, rain or wind, suddenly a cloud moves over/ cooler rainfall, and the surface water cools and gets heavier than the water below it and it “Inverts”, in doing so all the dormant Bacteria and nutrient that's been static at the lake bed goes suddenly to the top, and gets the two things it's been short of (Light and Oxygen) It multiplies like mad and in doing so sucks all the Oxygen out of all the water (The water turns black or a dirty brown colour) and kills everything in just a few hours, you have fish turning up truly dead for around 10 days after the main event, as the lack of oxygen had made them brain dead.
It's a horrible but easily preventable disaster no one wants!

I'm not surprised 2 acres of woolwich common went up yesterday. 50 firefighters were required to control it.
This crap is not a joke. Wake up sheeple.
