Thundery showers (and a weather warning for the SouthWest)

[GloriaSmud]

Weather warning here.
Think though that just about anywhere in the UK could get thundery showers today.

[GloriaSmud]

Updated warning.
We're having a thundery shower at the moment ~ they weren't due 'til this afternoon and seem to have arrived early!

[Tortoise]

Oh lovely!
Nice and sunny at the moment. Maybe it won't reach Somerset!!!!

pouring down just outside taunton

[takeonboard]

central london - huge flash of lightning and crack of thunder 5 minutes ago, the sky is black it it raining buckets - just in time for the weekend!!

[Tortoise]

maud That's about 30 miles from me. Too close! I don't want to get wet on school run any more times! (Would help if i had a rain coat instead of just a jumper!)

[maudpringle]

Stopped now! I too thought that the heavy showers weren't due til this afternoon - that's why I pegged out 2 lines of washing grrrrrr

[Ormirian]

I love storms! In fact, call me a freak, but I am enjoying the rain atm. It feels like a novelty

[AlmaMartyr]

I love proper storms but we never get decent ones here (just north of Dartmoor). Lots of rain, wind, hail but never thunder and lightning . Think we might have to postpone this weekend's camping trip though.

I'm getting married in devon next weds. It's going to cock it down, isn't it? :(

[maudpringle]

Taunton is a nightmare for storms hanging around for hours, they seem to just go round and round the hills. It's like they can't find a way out.
Might be a good idea to camp another weekend though :)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Well done Gloria :)

[MarioandLuigi]

We are in the midlands - DS is going on cub camp tonight so please let the rain stay away.

chrisonabike - it pissed with rain all day when I go married, but we still had a fab day :)

[cheesesarnie]

raining on and off in north cornwall today.nothing unusual!

[SeaShellsHasSandInHerShoes]

Is this why we've just had a hail storm?! Dorset...

[Tortoise]

Rain just starting here. Light at the moment......

[PestoSurfMonster]

dry & sunny here in Brighton

[Riveninside]

Should i get my washing in? Bristol

[Tortoise]

Rain didn't come to much but sky is quite dark. It's waiting until school time isn't it!

[RantyMcRantpants]

Just hit North Wilts. Had 2 loud claps of thunder and 5 minutes of hail and now we have rain.

[SuePurblybilt]

Yes to washing in I would say! Pisshing it down in Mid/North Devon and freezing with it. A small bit of thunder to go with.

[dragonmother]

Wow epic rain here - London

[solareclipse]

Please say it's going to chuck it down in southwest London tomorrow, so we don't have to go to blardy sports day.

[SuePurblybilt]

And now clear skies and bright sun

[Meglet]

North Hampshire is looking grey.

My washing machine has broken so nothing on the line at the moment.

[Paschaelina]

Lovely big hailstones in south kent.

Tumble drier is going, nice warm smell in the kitchen, son occupied watching it go round and round.

Pretty perfect right now.
