@itbemay1

London (south) a rainbow and a fire in the sky!
I tried to get pictures here in South East London as it looked so nice but mine did not look as good as yours

It was really weird here in the NE too - really yellow. We then had a massive thunder storm!

birdling · 31/07/2020 21:59

Sounds like the sky has been a veritable rainbow tonight then Grin

Pink rainbow here too in kent. Never seen one before, and the sky lit up our neighbours white house so it was glowing red.

RubyWow · 31/07/2020 22:06

Yellow here in the north east too! Then thunder and rain to break our 4 minutes of heatwave Confused

dementedma · 31/07/2020 22:17

Raining here now in Scotland after our one warm( not hot) day

Red sky at night shephard’s delight (because it pisses it down and keeps the wolves at bay).

Too late for a photo but we had a grey sky, kind of rippled all over, with random little fluffy pink clouds. It was very peculiar.

RitmoRatmo · 31/07/2020 22:58

@BitOfFun Are you in Sheffield?!

RitmoRatmo · 31/07/2020 22:59

Bizarre here a bit ago too.

@GlindaTheGood

2020 felt it was a bit dull so far and decided to crank up the apocalyptic signs?

Hahahah! That made me giggle!

We have had some of the most intense rain, thunder and lighting this evening I’ve seen and heard in a long time, the house was shaking and car alarms were being set off. Is then went eerily quite and still with pink and orange sky. Very pretty.

Sarjest · 31/07/2020 23:04

We had a really bright double rainbow just before 9pm. I don’t think I have seen one that late before. I don’t think the photo captured it well though.

Beautiful pink clouds here in NW London after a hot blue sky day.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 31/07/2020 23:12

Sky went really dark here around 6pm, then lightened to a very peculiar yellowish grey. If it was winter I’d have said snow sky, but at 30 degrees seems unlikely 🤷🏻‍♀️

No thunderstorms here either, although it would be very welcome! Mid Wales on the border btw.

Fabulous pics 😃

Sunrise tomorrow morning, from a friend down under.

We had grey cloud this evening but I now have that Hamilton number going through my head;
“In the eye of the hurricane there is quiet, for just a moment, a yellow sky...”

Maybe BoJo, or even better Cummings, is about to publish a confessional!

Dogsaresomucheasier · 01/08/2020 00:04

The photos are stunning!

That'd mean a storm of biblical proportions

Yellow clouds usually mean a storm is coming.

Bloody wish one would. It's hotter than the grills at McDonald's, Hades Central branch right now and I am heartily sick of it already.

32 fucking degrees indoors right now.

@RitmoRatmo, not in Sheffield, no. Other side- Liverpool.
