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?

Not yet, we are due them and in middle of having roof rethatched.

I'd love one, send it my way! But if you could wait an hour or so as we're just about to walk to the beach for a swim, that'd be lovely!

Beast of a one in Pembrokeshire this morning. Sorry for all the campers.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/08/2020 18:13

We haven’t even seen the sun all day and I’m in jeans.

Doilooklikeatourist · 10/08/2020 18:13

9 power cuts !
Thunder so loud it made the house shudder
Torrential rain ( luckily we live up a hill )
West Wales , and now a lovely warm sunny evening

They've only just started on our thatch Its and thunder due on Thurs / Fri but I presume / hope Grin they can work round it. I'm very glad its getting done now as it got postponed by lockdown and was said to be urgent then - at least it should get done now by end of the month and before another lockdown.

Hope it cools the temp here, its sweltering.

VenusClapTrap · 10/08/2020 18:18

Not a sausage here and it’s baking - 34 degrees. All my lovely new box balls are frying to a crisp . I was prepared for caterpillars or blight, but not scorching. 🔥

Still hot, London

PimlicoJo · 10/08/2020 18:22

Weather is gorgeous here in London. I'm in my garden with a white wine. No thunderstorms wanted here!

pussycatinboots · 10/08/2020 18:23

Can you send it to Cheshire please?

Wheresthebeach · 10/08/2020 18:23

Melting in London
Would love a thunderstorm

rc22 · 10/08/2020 18:24

No it's perfect here (Yorkshire) warm, not too hot, cool breeze.

AnnaSW1 · 10/08/2020 18:26

So jealous

LucyLocketsPocket · 10/08/2020 18:27

Literally just heard thunder in Warwickshire.

SoleBizzz · 10/08/2020 18:29

Nothing here in Birmingham and the forecast predicts storms in Thursday and Sunday here.

BrettAndersonscheekbones · 10/08/2020 18:31

Waft it in the direction of Kent please, wilting here.

wewillmeetagain · 10/08/2020 18:35

Just outside London here and it's still 34 and incredibly muggy! I'd love a thunderstorm right about now!

Dagnabit · 10/08/2020 18:36

@TFSRM - I’m in south-east Kidderminster and we didn’t get any thunder or rain at 5.30! My colleague is more west side and she had rain around 1pm but it was dry our side at the time - bizarre Grin

southern82 · 10/08/2020 18:39

I'm in Shrewsbury and the thunderstorm was awesome! We sat in the hot tub and watched it all. Apparently it's the same here all week!

iMatter · 10/08/2020 18:42

I'd love a thunderstorm!

Still melting here near the South Coast. Keep thinking it's coming but nothing yet.

Piggywaspushed · 10/08/2020 18:43

I'm in paving slab cracking Bedfordshire too. Need. Rain. Or even just a cooling breeze. Air quality is awful.

SoleBizzz · 10/08/2020 18:44

I have a storm headache. I hate it

Piggywaspushed · 10/08/2020 18:45

Talking of caterpillars , I nearly trod on a huge hairy specimen ! Ashamed to admit I screamed.
