In coming thunderstorms

Sorry that this is a bit belated, as usual at the moment, I'm running behind in life!

Some interesting radar returns over in northern France showing a really good sized thunder storm, along with a storm north of London at the moment.

I think they may follow met ofice warning area quite well, though I might put the storms a bit more northerly than they show, affecting Essex and Cambridgshire.
Storms also seem to be starting to form in the Welsh borders area and perhaps in the top end of Surrey, hard to see what is happening with them.

I'm definitely behind for you north London peeps I think, sorry, I was working!

The storm over France and Belgium look absolutely enormous, really really severe - it isnt coming our way.

Nothing happening in Essex at moment. I love a thunderstorm but I don't want it to take away the lovely weather we've been having!!

indyandlara · 07/06/2016 19:26

In Scotland. Our school was flooded today. My classroom is absolutely trashed

NapQueen · 07/06/2016 19:27

Newcastle here and still warm sunny and dry. I've got to drive home from work at 11pm so no doubt we will be mid downpour then

Buggers · 07/06/2016 19:27

Sorry to hear that . How is the weather in Scotland now?

PointlessUsername · 07/06/2016 19:29

Some rumbles of thunder earlier today in NW London. Nothing since.

Shame as I Love a storm. It's really muggy weather so could use a good downpour.

lordStrange · 07/06/2016 19:30

I'm sorry Indy .

We had some rumbles at around 3pm, SE Kent. Thought that was it?

toomanyeasterbunnies · 07/06/2016 19:30

We were caught up in the south London floods today. Never seen rain like it. We are on top of the hill and it was like a river running past us. Our DC's school is at the bottom of the hill and is closed tomorrow.

OYBBK - are there any more storms forecast on the London\Surrey borders overnight?

StealthPolarBear · 07/06/2016 19:31

Ne England we had thunder and rain about 3pm

poocatcherchampion · 07/06/2016 19:31

Just started raining in Bromsgrove. I've been thinking the neighbor's were putting the bins out for ages earlier but it was thunder...

Janefromdowntheroad · 07/06/2016 19:33

Very muggy in Essex, not a breath of wind

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 07/06/2016 19:35

Lovely still in the West Mids. I really don't want rain... The lovely weather has made everyone so happy!

donajimena · 07/06/2016 19:42

Gorgeous in SE Wales I also love a good thunderstorm but I have washing out..

schbittery · 07/06/2016 19:51

also caight in the S London/Surrey chaos today, absolute chaos and bedlam, never seen anything like it. Our back garden id flooded (despite living on top of a hill!) but no other issues luckily, others not so lucky round here. Is there nore coming tomorrow? If so im staying at home!

indyandlara · 07/06/2016 20:59

Dry and warm now. Still very muggy. No sign of the hailstones and torrential rain of this afternoon.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/06/2016 21:06

possibly more tonight toomany.
I've just seen some pics of today's flooding. that was certainly a rather impressive deluge!

I think storms are less likely tomorrow.

Sallycinnamum · 07/06/2016 21:13

I'm in Essex and it's muggy and completely still. It feels like a massive storm is brewing.

RatOnnaStick · 07/06/2016 21:17

Sort of passing us by in our village in S Kent. DH had a big storm overhead about 6-7 miles away earlier but all we got was light rain and some vague rumbles. Ds1 (5) is mightily disappointed. lightningmaps.org shows it heading off the coast of Dymchurch now.

GonnaDoItAnyway · 07/06/2016 21:20

Wallington, Surrey.

No more rain please...the stairwell in the flats was a waterfall and there is silt from the gutters all over. Tell me we have time to dry out before the next drop.

Getting home from work...I gave up and waded through many 'puddles'.

In coming thunderstorms

MessyBun247 · 07/06/2016 21:20

In Lisburn, Northern Ireland here. Lots of heavy rain and thunder and lightening today, very warm though.

A man and his 2 young kids got struck by lightening just outside one of the local primary schools this afternoon All in critical condition. Very scary.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/06/2016 21:36

Farrrk! Here she is!

imnottoofussed · 07/06/2016 22:21

Have a look on lightningmaps.org I got addicted to watching the dots approaching last year and then trying to film from my upstairs windows

imnottoofussed · 07/06/2016 22:23

Just started raining here - Cheshire/Manchester area. I know they've had freak hailstone in Rochdale earlier this evening too
