bloodyhell, haven’t experienced one that ferocious for years! Terribly loud thunder, the type that shakes your home. Flash flooding too in some areas.

But now we’ve got sunshine and warmth again🙂

Have you had a thunderstorm?

Where are you? Maybe it's headed my way.

It’s just muggy here, north Wiltshire, light cloud.

We had one all morning, SW. Some of the claps of thunder made me jump. Quite localised though. Hot and sunny now.

I'm in London. I'd sell the DC for a proper thunderstorm right now.

@TFSRM I’m in Worcestershire and nothing here? Roughly which bit? We need some rain!

I'm watching the rain radar but it looks like it's going to skip round us. Darn it.

No! It's heading north into the Irish Sea... No use to anyone's garden out there

Nope...

And it looks like it’s going to miss is completely
