Piggywaspushed · 27/07/2018 16:43

No pitter patter raindrops though but my hands are tingling.

Justonedayatatime11 · 27/07/2018 16:44

Where freda where?! I'm Norfolk and all I can see is blue skies and it's still scorching!

Blushah · 27/07/2018 16:45

Again, use This!!

It'll show you what rain's coming, and you can track the likelihood of you getting it, how heavy and for how long!

I rarely go out on a changeable day without a glance at it!

We have distant thunder and about 5secs of huge rain drops and then nothing. Some rain for the grass would be lovely

Spongeface · 27/07/2018 16:45

Big rain! Aberdeen! I'm loving these updates!

Purple999Red · 27/07/2018 16:45

I actually love it when it rains.. As long as it's not a result of a storm or something that would lead to flooding.

spiderlight · 27/07/2018 16:45

Just had a lovely long heavy shower in South Wales Grin

MaureenMLove · 27/07/2018 16:45

Met office promises 80% chance of thunderstorm and rain at 8pm here.
That's pretty positive!

Smoothsailing9 · 27/07/2018 16:46

Where I’ve been working today (Cambridgeshire) there’s an overhead screen in front of my desk showing local weather. All day it’s been taunting me with impending ‘heavy rain showers’. Not a flipping drop yet! 32 degrees earlier!

bruffin · 27/07/2018 16:47

We have had a rumble of thunder in the distance now but still no rain but a bit overcast

PickAChew · 27/07/2018 16:48

It never rains, it pours. Floods in North Yorkshire and teesside after a massive storm, this morning Nd the signals at York were knocked out by a lightning strike, leaving thousands of travellers stranded at Leeds and Darlo.

Looks like it's back to the Watering Can Tango for me again this evening.... Near Southampton. But not the bit that appears to have received a couple of big showers....

dontcallmelen · 27/07/2018 16:48

South east London/borders of Kent, distant rumbling dark sky then about five drops of rain, it’s still 31deg at the moment.

MissClareRemembers · 27/07/2018 16:49

The nation is now divided into those who already knew what ‘petrichor’ meant before this thread and those that didn’t!

I didn’t. Blush

Bucketed down here in this part of Surrey. Started with lightening, then thunder, the torrential rain. I zoomed out to bring the washing in whilst doing my usual trick of worrying about whether I should be anywhere near a washing line in the middle of a thunder storm! Grin

Whatthefoxgoingon · 27/07/2018 16:49

We’ve had the briefest of showers and now all gone Sad

DroningOn · 27/07/2018 16:49

NOOOOOOO! fuck off rain. Better not be the end of this most amazing summer.

MaureenMLove · 27/07/2018 16:50

I looked at that Met office rain radar and nothing! Not a flippin drop anywhere near me at all!!

Since2016 · 27/07/2018 16:50

Raining here in N London. YES!!!!!!!

Blushah · 27/07/2018 16:50

Between Bognor and Hove are going to cop some nice rain in the next half hour or so...!

sagasleathertrousers · 27/07/2018 16:53

SentToTheSynByn · 27/07/2018 16:53
