Wahoo! We have a stonking thunderstorm, anyone else?

[70sCarpet]

I've been waiting for this. LOADS of thunder & lightening but no rain. Anyone else?

Here! South East. Pouring rain, lots of thunder & lightning. Fine during the day, but I'm a bit of a sap about it at night so hoping it settles down, esp as I have an early start tomorrow!

Kids sound asleep. Was actually woken when a gust of wind slammed their bedroom door shut.

At least my allotment is happy!

I think the flashes are fewer now, actually.

We've had continuous thunder and lightning for about an hour and a half with some torrential rain. Magnificent light show and sound effects!

Central London. Lots of thunder. Seen one lightening strike but no rain. I want it to get cooler.

Ooooh - look at the map:

Nothing here, also south east.
We had a huge one a few nights back.

Yes! Pouring with rain too (West mids)

West Devon. Finished now.

Gone now except for the odd flash.

Great photo @CrispbuttyNo1 !

Seems as if London had the storm without rain, here too.

Yes. Storm was directly overhead. Passed along now. Between that and dh snoring I'm now wide awake.

Yep. Right overhead in Birmingham. It’s anazing!

South East London - lots of lightning, no thunder, a spattering of light rain about 30 minutes ago then it stopped and the clouds cleared. Weather is amazing in how local it can be!

I don't mind the wobbly sheet of metal thunder but we had one a few minutes ago but that was a single ear-splitting BANG like a bomb going off and I don't like that at all.

We’ve got it too, south east. It was overhead for a long while and very loud. Very impressive!

Now there is a lot of rain but still thunder and lightning occasionally. Amazingly all my family are asleep, even dh...

Im in the Royal County. Constant thunder and lightning for the last hour, plus lots of rain.

crosspelican I don’t like the really loud bangs either, although do love thunderstorms.

North West and it's fabulous. And cooler

By far the worst (best!) Thunderstorm ive seen/heard! The amount pf lightening was unbelievable!

Yes just started here! I love it

Nothing here. I am well jel. I love a good lightening show.⚡

We've had a bit of thunder up here in Cumbria. Not as much as down South, but a couple of rumbles that were loud enough to wake me up and set all the neighborhood dogs barking. Torrential rain for about 10 mins, now back to nothing again.

Rumbling again, it is on the way back...

Got one now in Liverpool.
No rain though. Aren't dry thunderstorms supposed to be more dangerous.

I love a good thunderstorm.

I agree, but its only okay when you're watching it through your window while snuggled up in bed.
I wouldn't like to be walking around in it
