There's a storm active where I live. Am on the coast of county Durham.
If you're experiencing it where are you?

Co. Durham, but inland, storming here but very on and off.

Shortsdressgreenblue1 · 26/06/2026 08:40

South Yorkshire also very on and off.

Cuppachuchu · 26/06/2026 08:42

South East and no. I would love a storm and heavy rain, it is so stuffy humid and windless here. 🥵

How funny it's been going for half an hour here. Rain eased slightly but heavy again.
Garden will be happy 😊

Central Scotland, it is on it's way a few rumbles of thunder but no rain yet.

Is there one due? Hope you get it.

It was cool last night so I did wonder if we'd get a storm.

Sounds like it's staying north.

I'm a Northerner. My brother lives in Yorkshire and more and more I'm envying his cooler summers. 🤨

FortyFacedFuckers · 26/06/2026 08:48

Central Scotland here, we had thunder & lightening with torrential rain during the night, and thunder since around 8am and the rain has just started again

Spidey66 · 26/06/2026 08:48

Had one at 3am, Somerset

TeenLifeMum · 26/06/2026 08:49

I had to drive an hour home from work across Somerset last night at 11.30pm. The electrical storm was spectacular - orangey red forks in the sky like stranger things (no rain for the whole hour just lightning strikes then 10 minutes of heavy rain). It was so weird but one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Today we have clear blue sky.

We had it last night in Cornwall - really dramatic lightning for hours

Becuriousnotjudgemental1980 · 26/06/2026 09:05

North Yorkshire and we had a corker of a storm. Torrential rain, thunder and lightening.

Anyoneout · 26/06/2026 09:06

Torrential rain and thunder at 3 am. Couldn't get back to sleep. Now it's started again. Central Scotland.

Tovetov · 26/06/2026 09:07

North Yorkshire, belter of a storm for the past couple of hours now. Started with endless rumbling thunder, then torrential rain (the really wet sort), then went very dark and now lots of lightning along either the thunder and rain. Exciting start to the day!
