Looking at the lightening map and it has all completely bypassed us. I could cry. Its still sticky here.

Quite jealous of you Lincolnshire dwellers, although it's coming down beautifully here now!

Bluelonerose · 27/07/2018 19:06

Still rainless in the Midlands Angry bloody sunny again too.

Thought i saw a flash of lightening but dh said it was the sun reflecting off the door which tbh has just pissed me off even more I'm too hot and grumpy

Sparklingbrook · 27/07/2018 19:07

It's gone quite dark here and the wind's got up.

Lilacwine1 · 27/07/2018 19:11

I am genuinely crying. I thought it was raining, it turned out to be next door neighbours sprinkler I could hear.Sad

McPeppaMcYumPig · 27/07/2018 19:11

Peppabloodypig you're not helping. The sun is still shining, and it's still hot enough for a pig roast Wink

Lovely storm loads of stair rod rain Grin

Iruka · 27/07/2018 19:21

It just got dark, the wind is picking up and the seagulls are going crazy. I have never been this excited about the prospect of rain before

OctaviaOctober · 27/07/2018 19:23

It's gone very dark and windy here... Also the cats are - temporarily - smugly rolling in the flowerbed because I failed to wrangle them inside. Part of me hopes the contrary little fuckers are about to get drenched.

newyearwhoohoo · 27/07/2018 19:25

Live in London but currently in a tent in rainy Devon with the heater on. Hoping for water for my London allotment and so planning on doing a naked rain dance round the camp site for our allotment and you poor folk who are sweltering.

wheresthestorm · 27/07/2018 19:25

CryingMessFFS · 27/07/2018 19:26

AJPTaylor · 27/07/2018 19:29

BlessYourCottonSocks · 27/07/2018 19:32

Lincolnshire coast. Thunder, lightning, hugely windy and rain pouring down.

I liked the heat....Grin

mmmgoats · 27/07/2018 19:36

Our storm arrived in Essex! Torrential downpour - lovely like tropical rain.
May have immediately ran outside like a lunatic and pranced around in it shouting “bring it! Bring it!” while DH looked on in amusement...

YearOfYouRemember · 27/07/2018 19:46

It must have rained as my patio is wet but I missed it Sad.

NoWordForFluffy · 27/07/2018 19:50

The storm has returned to NE Yorks after listening to it rumble around us for over an hour. It suddenly went pitch black (from half dark) the wind increased and the heavens opened in dramatic style! Bonkers lightning out there too!

Cheesymonster · 27/07/2018 19:50

Ooh. Wind has picked up.

morningperson · 27/07/2018 19:57

Nottingham here. Its gone quite dark and the wind's got up (ha ha sparklingbrook we say that too) Smile

BarbarianMum · 27/07/2018 19:58

Cloud has passed over.
Not.a.bloody.drop. Sad

Sallystyle · 27/07/2018 20:02

None here, but my mum about 20 miles away has had heavy hail.

I have been loving the weather but even I now want rain to cool it down just a little and of course for the environment.

McPeppaMcYumPig · 27/07/2018 20:03

@Lilacwine1 ahaha 😂 sorry

It is going to be cooler and rain off an on for a few days here. Just in time for my holiday. I knew it would happen.
