Wo-hooo!!! Thunder, lightening and RAIN!!!

[Gobbledigook]

Hurrah!! It's fabulous and the kids are loving it!!!

For this week we've got a white cloud with sunshine and temps

Mon 23
Tue 21
Wed 23
Thur 27

That's perfect for me (except 27 is getting too hot) - it's ok on holiday but not for everyday living. Had a right nightmare with ds3 last night as he was roasting and couldn't sleep (9months).

If you're weather obsessed (like me, lol) Weather.com have a little program you can download which sits in your taskbar. You tell it where you are and it produces a summary pop-up with three day forcast, radar map and comments. You can then go into extended forecasts (I like the hourly one for working out if I'm safe to put the washing out! Sad, I know. There's also a 10 day forecast) or pollen counts etc.

Well I like it, anyway

Meant to say, it's completely free... (although you can pay for the super duper ad free version, but never felt the need)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh i want thunder an lightening NOW

Love it GeorginaA, thanks for that! I am weather obsessed because I'm a SAHM and like to plan what I'm doing with the kids in the week - therefore need to know at least if wet or fine in terms of outdoor activities.

It's stopped now Nutty and is brightening up again. A bit cooler now but still warm - it's a lovely temp now. Last night was hell.

blue skies and a bit of cloud here although about 45 mins ago it looked like it might start

No rain here, still muggy and sticky

bring on the rain!!!!

SE London - hot hot hot, wispy white clouds, luvly now but unbearable earlier. The car thermometer said 34 degrees and the a/c isn't working properly!

Still hot here but has gone very dark

well weve had a good down pour but not lasted very long suspect its moving south so wont be long before u get it huggy if ur in b'ham (i'm in staffs )

I'm in herts and I think it hit 33c today, have stayed inside all day, too hot out there for me. I want some thunder and lighting tho, just to clear the air.

the clouds are starting to build now from a northerly direction so maybe in about 20 mins?

nutty have you had rain yet?

No still very muggy and dark but no rain, just a few feeble rolls of thunder.

I am over in the south west - blue skies hot hot hot and very muggy. Please send your storms over in my direction. If the heaviness lifts I might start being nicer to Dh (I am a witch and a half to live with in the heat).

well in liverpool we have had hours of torrential rain and thunder - and dp , myself and two kids got caught in it .Kids were terrified and we all got soaked right through.So much for deciding to be healthy and walk to the park , ha !!
I like thunder and lightening myself but my 6 year old looked white with fear till my and dp started laughing [ mildly hysterically on my part]
Thanks for link to weathersite GeorginaA - very useful!!

we got NONE! Although it does seem cooler and fresher now.

Nothing here either - although VERY nice outside at the moment. Me and DH are just finishing off the gardening.... was too hot earlier!

I think Kidderminster must have been the only place in the Midlands to have a thunderstorm! We went out for the afternoon and got soaked!! I told ds to take his shorts, tshirt and trainers off before getting back in the car, which he did, then he ran up and down the car park in his underpants jumping in the puddles!

Well lets this doesn't happen to any of you with the suddent heavy rain

LOL Ailsa - think you're right - seemed to have completely bipassed Worcester although it did get cloudy and seemed to cool down a bit...
