Whereabouts?

Soubriquet · 10/09/2023 15:46

Lincolnshire. It’s nice heavy rain, bright lightening and loud thunder

Hope it's coming South!

UndercoverCop · 10/09/2023 16:03

No! I've got washing out!

Aigh · 10/09/2023 16:04

Bring it on! Blazers are back on tomorrow at school.

Fixesplease · 10/09/2023 16:05

Still waiting for ours.. NE, looked like it was thinking about about 3pm.. nope. Back to humid horrid heat!

Beeinalily · 10/09/2023 16:07

NE here too, there was about 10 seconds of intense rain and that was the lot 🙄

Soubriquet · 10/09/2023 16:10

It’s easing off. The rain got quite heavy at one point and it was so nice.

It’s bucketing down here just outside Glasgow right now but no thunder just yet

thevegetablesoup · 10/09/2023 16:35

We had a huge one in the NE at about 2-3pm

MrsLeonFarrell · 10/09/2023 16:36

I'm so jealous, they keep missing us and it's so humid.

MermaidEyes · 10/09/2023 16:52

Jealous. We've only had two this year. Love a good thunderstorm. Here it's bastarding humid and sunny again.

Dahliasrule · 10/09/2023 17:02

Soubriquet, we are Lincolnshire as well, but no rain here. Got very dark at one point so rushed to bring in washing and now the sun is beaming down again. You are lucky!

ApolloandDaphne · 10/09/2023 17:13

We have heavy rain right now on the east coast of Scotland but no thunder storm.

QuestionableMouse · 10/09/2023 17:16

Nothing in Hartlepool despite the weather saying it should be thundering!

Oh I take that back - it's starting! 😁

RunnyPaint · 10/09/2023 17:21

We had a thunderstorm with some torrential rain about 3.30 (NE). I was really happy about it, until we noticed the water dripping through the light fittings 😭

Fifireee · 10/09/2023 17:31

Well jel

Justkeepingplatesspinning · 10/09/2023 17:34

It's gone really dark but no rain etc so far. Also East coast of Scotland.

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 10/09/2023 17:37

Nothing here in London so I have had to water all fruit and veg again this evening. Water butt is empty so I have been using fresh water for the last 3 days which I hate doing but I don't want to lose my crops.

countrygirl99 · 10/09/2023 17:42

We had rain but no thunder. Although the temperature has dropped it's more uncomfortable as it's ramped up the humidity. It's like breathing soup now.

QuestionableMouse · 10/09/2023 17:48

Ooh guys look at this!

Yes!!! We have a thunderstorm.
EmptyTheFrickingBins · 10/09/2023 18:05

I'm in Hartlepool too - been very much an electrical storm until just now when I had rain started! There's a very creepy cloud heading over 😬😂😂

Yes!!! We have a thunderstorm.
sittingonacornflake · 10/09/2023 18:07

Quite different here in Cornwall, just back from the beach. Still sunny!
