I'm in beds/bucks and there's no mention of a storm on my weather app

It's a good one though!

Everyone else got the same or is it localised?

No sign in the NE. All calm!

Lot of rain and lightning in S London!

Big Croydon storm! Huge crap of thunder woke my little boy up, so we are watching it out of the window.

Heavy rain, thunder and lightning in SW London.

We've had thunder and lots of rain in Leicester too

SW London, we have a storm, pretty far away though... Maybe 10 miles.

GirlCrushxxx · 18/05/2022 23:57

It's constant thunder and lightning there's barely a break

My poor seedlings I took a chance and planted out....it sounds like hailstones!

A good lightning show on IOW but no rain or thunder.

RockStarMartini · 18/05/2022 23:58

Yes but sounds like I’m just down the road from you ⛈

You can track it here if you want, either in real time or with an hour delay. You can toggle settings to show thunder too.

I took the dog out around ten, it was dry and calm but there was a mass exodus of snails across the pavements

Wonder if they had come out for some rain....the little shits knew!

Yes we have a lot of lighting right overhead and no thunder which is odd

I'm right on the coast of west sussex. Trust and belive we just got BATTERED. It was quite spectacular and dramatic. Tucked up in bed to watch it with a gin and my fiance.

We're in Beds and were entirely surrounded by flash bang wallop for about half an hour, but it seems to have moved a bit further north now. Only got about 5 minutes of rain though, but the light show was great. I love a good thunderstorm.

Ugh south London here. Just when I think has passed, it goes again!
