Lovely big sploshy rain here in Croydon, but I think it'll only last 5 minutes

Not even that in south Croydon! I think I could count the rain spots on my car!

McPeppaMcYumPig · 27/07/2018 16:06

Right everybody put your washing out that will make it rain...or wash your car ????

And it's stopped. Lovely smell of petrichor from the patio though.

No rain here yet, but I am enjoying tracking the lightning strikes here: www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#m=oss;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=0.00;ts=0;y=49.3681;x=0.9119;z=6;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

We've had one clap of thunder and a cup full of rain that's it! I'm in carshalton now

SoupDragon · 27/07/2018 16:07

I was right - there are none! They’ve evaporated already!

Storm4star · 27/07/2018 16:07

I'm in London and it's got very dark in the last 10 minutes or so, so am excitedly hoping to see some rain soon!

Samcro · 27/07/2018 16:07

Blushah · 27/07/2018 16:07

Near Eastleigh, Hampshire- possibly a teaspoon so far?

Maybugger · 27/07/2018 16:07

Bugger all in north Wiltshire, doesn't even look vaguely like rain just fluffy white clouds 😡
I really don't want to have to water the vegetables again tonight!

Hullabaloo31 · 27/07/2018 16:08

Suffolk and it's currently 35 and hotter than ever. I love the heat but am struggling to work today! Our forecast storms haven't happened and they keep missing us!

Bambamber · 27/07/2018 16:08

I've never been so happy to have my washing rained on!

HipHipHippo · 27/07/2018 16:09

Andover way here, no rain yet but it's clouded over nicely!! Grin

CammieKennaway · 27/07/2018 16:10

If you send it my way, I shall love you forever. Arrived home from work a good 3 hours ago and still feel too tired to even look and Henry Hoover, never mind flick the bloody switch

MaureenMLove · 27/07/2018 16:10

IncyWincyGrownUp · 27/07/2018 16:11

Yorkshire coast is currently blazing sunshine. Slightly gutting really.

McPeppaMcYumPig · 27/07/2018 16:11

I don't think I have ever been this invested in the weather ! This rain has done silly things to me....keep daydreaming about the winter wardrobe I'm going to buy...

@MaureenMLove

I'm north London, very dark over my house, I keep looking out of the window willing the rain the come!

Flamingo19 · 27/07/2018 16:12

Cannot wait for it to arrive here in Kent

tapdancingmum · 27/07/2018 16:12

Bucks here and we've just had a couple of rumbles of thunder and I think I have just felt a spot of rain. Hoping it comes to something.

CaveMum · 27/07/2018 16:13

We had lovely rain at about 6am this morning (Cambs/Suffolk border) but now everything is like a sauna.

I keep checking lightningmaps.org but it’s all to the east of us so far 😤
