Heavily pregnant and got caught in a massive thunderstorm and downpour that lasted well over an hour! We were out walking too 😂 got absolutely drenched but it was a blessed relief from the heat of yesterday. (NE)

I am v jealous (SE). I can’t wait for this weather to break!

north northants and we got two rumbles of thunder followed by a sort of rainstorm - all over in half an hour! However looking north over Leicester it looked really dark and stormy so maybe we just missed out?

We're in the South East of England and rain was forecast at 5pm. Nothing. Washing is still on the line and I'm hoping we get some rain before bedtime.

Not my photo but apparently this was the situation a couple of hours ago near me. I didn’t see that weird cloud but we had a big storm.

We had one like that a few years ago..... it was something else. We named it the "Freaky Lightening Cloud" I'm sure there's a more technical name.

We've been away on a three night break in north Devon. We'd been travelling home for about 10 mins and it started to pour. People who we know still in the area said they'd had a thunderstorm, so we dodged that one nicely.

Back home now and plants desperately need watering. Water butt is empty but I'm hanging on until tomorrow morning before I start drawing it off the tap.
