Just started to rain here too - and think I just heard a rumble of thunder in the distance [frown]

Thomcat · 04/09/2005 23:59

Mad, mad downpour in Pinner just now, lasted about 3 mins.

Earlybird · 05/09/2005 00:01

Just started to sprinkle very lightly here in central London. Debateable whether I even need to close windows in dd's room.

QueenOfQuotes · 05/09/2005 00:01

getting pretty heavy here now

magnolia1 · 05/09/2005 00:03

All clear here now

But my washing is soaked

eidsvold · 05/09/2005 00:04

rained all night here ( in Aus ) overcast and cooler today but not sure if we will get anymore rain. No mad storms yet - but time for that later in the year....

Love the sound of rain on the roof - we have a tin roof so it is fab!!

QueenOfQuotes · 05/09/2005 00:07

wow REALLY heavy here now

(typical "Brits" aren't we - talking about the weather )

beatie · 05/09/2005 00:08

We had them here - South East coast - about 3 hours ago. I was hoping the storm would clear the air but it feels more muggy than ever - hence why I am not asleep.
