Has it rained yet where you are? And if yes, is it now cooler?
I am in Scotland Central Belt, no rain and still as hot as it was yesterday.

Liverpool and yes, it started to rain around 11am and has been on and off since. It's a lot cooler, currently 19° and was 32° this time yesterday. I almost jumped for joy when I seen the rain, now just waiting for a good storm Grin⛈

Cumbria. Heavy thunderstorms during the night and light showers all day today. Much cooler. It's glorious.

Yes and I'm in Majorca! It has cooled the air.

Hertfordshire. No rain. 29 degrees. Muggy.

I'm going to stick another load of washing out but I'd bloody love some rain.

ToBeHere · 15/08/2022 16:10

Manchester and no, of course not.

I'm still awaiting the heavy rains that were forecast after the last heatwave.

I genuinely do not know how weather forecasters actually stay in a job. They wouldn't tell you what the weather has been like, five minutes after it happened!

Cardiff. Light rain most of the day and much cooler.

petshopboys · 15/08/2022 16:15

Had a bit of rain here in Chester, and it has dropped to 21 (was 32 yesterday). It said we would get a thunderstorm and the rain was quite heavy when I was doing the shopping, but it's stopped now!

swifttwist · 15/08/2022 16:16

Perthshire. Thunder and lightning and heavy rain all last night. It’s rained on and off today all day. It’s slightly cooler but still muggy.

mondaytosunday · 15/08/2022 16:18

No (SW London). About 5 degrees less unbearable but I wouldn't say comfortable yet.

Cornettoninja · 15/08/2022 16:28

The rain forecast for today disappeared off the forecast earlier today, due tomorrow afternoon now apparently (east, Essex/Herts way)

thankfully we’ve had clouds today which feels better overall and means I could open my blinds for the first time in days and let some actual daylight in! Still 28 though and doesn’t look to be getting particularly cool overnight either.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 15/08/2022 16:28

West Midlands bit of rain around lunchtime lt feels cooler

hewouldwouldnthe · 15/08/2022 16:29

Norfolk. Ten spots of rain and then nothing.

VerifiedBot2351 · 15/08/2022 16:31

Yorkshire: no rain yet but it’s clouded over and it’s a little cooler.

waterlego · 15/08/2022 16:32

I’m on the English South Coast it hasn’t rained here yet. Slightly cooler today but not significantly and still very muggy. Can’t wait for the rain!

OldTinHat · 15/08/2022 16:33

Isle of Wight. Sooo much cooler. No rain.

JimmiChoux · 15/08/2022 16:34

No rain but much cooler today. South east. We've not had rain for at least a month now.

AppleBottomRats · 15/08/2022 16:35

No 😭 it’s still been dry and hot here in Berks, I feel betrayed (which is mostly manifesting through sweat)!

MyHeartSings · 15/08/2022 16:44

It’s rained in my bit of Greater Manchester but it is still warm and stuffy. Cooler than yesterday though. House is still boiling though, hoping it cools down this evening.

Summerhouse2013 · 15/08/2022 16:45

Exeter - thunder, absolute down pour at 3pm, has just stopped now at 4.45pm. Definitely feels cooler with a breeze which is much appreciated by this menopausal woman who was struggling with the heat 😓

megletthesecond · 15/08/2022 16:52

North Hampshire. No rain. Warm.
About to tip another washing up bowl of water on the shrubs.

stopringingme · 15/08/2022 16:53

Lincolnshire no rain yet, overcast , muggy, windy and thunder but still as hot.

I have never wanted it to rain so much 🥵

Flatmountains · 15/08/2022 16:54

West Mids - About 5 minutes of rain and then it was as if it had never happened!

onmywayamarillo · 15/08/2022 16:54

No!! It was supposed to rain at 3pm but the clouds evaporated into a thin nothing! I even put the washing out in the vain hope it would hurry it along.

It's 31 here still and I've sweated all day and can't wait to get home and rip my bra off

When will it end?
Berkshire

Chipsahoy · 15/08/2022 16:57

North east Scotland and it’s rained since last night. I’ve had the door open all day, it’s not cold but definitely cooler.

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 15/08/2022 17:00

Rain near Norwich, not much but it has cooled everything down a bit
