Thunderbolts and lightning Grin
It’s also hammering down here.
Looks like that was our summer.

Central Scotland, it was raging. Looks big up at Mum and Dads in the north east.

West of Scotland here, had some loud thunder and lightning and a few heavy showers this afternoon, didn’t come to much. Seems to picking up momentum as it travels east

No storm here - Scarbados living up to its nickname and I had to abandon a day out because of it. Same forecast for tomorrow and another day's plans ditched.

Please send rain and thunder and lightning and hail, with or without howling gales. Would even consider taking delivery of a small blizzard. Thank you so much. Smile

Very hot today in the East Midlands and no rain due until next weekend. It reached 31 degrees here which is too hot for me. Love thunder and lightening so I’m very jealous

StumpyinSomerset · 29/06/2019 19:34

No storm here,send it down south,will you,please.

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2019 19:35

It's gone a bit dark and the wind's got up in Worcestershire. Would love a storm, it's soo hot.

mrsmoppp · 29/06/2019 19:38

Ffsnosexallowed · 29/06/2019 19:40

Yup eastern Scotland here - pelting down and loads of thunder

suzy2b · 29/06/2019 19:41

No thunder or rain here south

Mythreefavouritethings · 29/06/2019 19:44

I love storms. We’re in a village with a church across the way and it always feels very gothic listening to the bells with thunder and lightning going off. As it is, sitting with a stroppy DD and an overworked fan.

Gilead · 29/06/2019 19:52

North East Pennines here, keeps clouding and clearing. Hoping for a good storm!

Sandsnake · 29/06/2019 19:55

Hot as balls here in Surrey, and still very much sunny with v light breeze.

Redshoeblueshoe · 29/06/2019 19:57

South Manchester here, there's a storm brewing.

Auldspinster · 29/06/2019 19:58

Very dark and stormy here in Edinburgh, not heard any thunder or seen any lightening, just very heavy rain.

PleaseGoogleIt · 29/06/2019 20:02

We've just had a few drops of rain - still sat on the decking throughout them they were so light. Says it's 27 degrees here (Peak District).

Kashali · 29/06/2019 20:06

Aw, so jealous, it went a bit dark here, few drops and stopped, got a bit breezy so made sure it was going through the house.
Then went hot again.
NW.

Praying it doesn’t rain in W Yorks
At Halifax music festival and don’t fancy doing the 55 mile drive in rain / thunderstorm
I don’t fancy doing the drive at all if truth be told... but it’s the levellers 💪

fraxion · 29/06/2019 20:11

East Scotland here

Me too and loving it! We very rare we get a good thunderstorm and it's still rumbling on.

freshasthebrightbluesky · 29/06/2019 20:27

I'm in west Yorkshire and have just heard a crack of thunder. It's still sunny though and is very still and heavy outside. I'd love it if it rained! I'm not near Halifax though Dowser

scarbados · 29/06/2019 20:59

@Dowser

Just letting you know that I'm not in the least jealous that you're there and weill be seeing the Levellers and I'm not. No, not even the teeniest, tiniest bit.

crosses fingers behind back and hopes not to be found out as an outrageous liar Envy

Redshoeblueshoe · 30/06/2019 00:17

Well it didn't end up raining ! It's hotter than ever.
Hopefully it will be a bit cooler tomorrow

Bluerussian · 30/06/2019 01:01

No storm here in SE London. Could do with one.

CakeNinja · 30/06/2019 01:14

Just got off a train back from London (25 miles away) - the city was very stuffy and oppressively muggy but was a gloriously sunny day.
My town is much cooler but still very warm. My bedroom thermostat is reading 28 degrees! No clouds in the sky.
I’m going to have a shower and then probably sit in the garden with a night cap!
