from the metoffice.
Certainly hot and humid here in Leicester (thinks it's about 27C atm), so might get a few storms later on.

Hot and humid here too. (Manchester)

25C and 63% humidity.

It was sunny first thing, but cloudy and grey now.

GloriaSmud · 03/08/2011 12:53

Last night was unbearably hot ~ think it was 1.30am before I got to sleep

My terrocotta garden thermometer says it's hit 30C. I'm wondering whether to evict DDs from their paddling pool and go in myself!

I hate it being warm at night!

I'm trying to get all my washing done before the rain kicks in tonight/tomorrow!

DeepPurple · 03/08/2011 13:25

It's been hot this morning but it's just started bucketing down! I'm in Yorkshire.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/08/2011 13:35

certainly potential for thunderstorms today.

mankyscotslass · 03/08/2011 13:43

We went to the park yestyerday, on the way home we got caught in a downpour....kids wet, bikes soaked, us soaked.

We were all yelling with laughter by the time we got home, drenched.

Much to the amusement of the neighbours!

Scorching hot here in Suffolk, haven't got a thermometer to hand but I suspect it is about 28C.
It's clear blue sky at the moment but I'm sure we'll have a downpour before the end of the day.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/08/2011 14:37

Probably a pretty good guess Cavemum!
28C here. It has that 'brassy' feel to the weather.

CaveMum · 03/08/2011 17:31

The cloud is building and there are done thunderous looking clouds in the distance!

GloriaSmud · 03/08/2011 17:38

Has just hammered it down here and had a rumble of thunder! It came on really suddenly; the wind was so strong that several of our windows closed by themselves (no window catches to keep them open) with the force of it!

I'm in York and there was a massive cloudburst earlier on complete with thunder, lightening and hail. Temp was about 26 now down to 19. Sunny again now though .

colditz · 03/08/2011 17:42

it's been storming up a goodun (Leicestershire)

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/08/2011 18:06

those storms sound pretty cool :) glorious and 26C. The coming rain is going to be a bit of a shock!

mankyscotslass · 03/08/2011 18:11

Still humid here! Sunny at times, cloudy at others.

Horribly humid. I've just been out to check on the washing on the line, and I am sweating buckets. Yuck!

LawrieMarlow · 03/08/2011 18:45

I think the thunderstorm (or the lightning part) has made my burglar alarm go wild. Am not happy with the piercing sound :(

mankyscotslass · 03/08/2011 19:01

Storm clouds building to the East, but still bright(ish) overhead and to the west.

CaveMum · 03/08/2011 19:08

It's finally starting to break - thunder is rumbling in the distance.

talkingnonsense · 03/08/2011 19:36

It's been 30* here in Kent and no sign of rain- but there is now a bit of a breeze, thank goodness.

mankyscotslass · 03/08/2011 20:51

Clear skies here now, no storm, norain. Sad

mankyscotslass · 04/08/2011 08:40

woke at 5 - still no rain.

Got up at 8.30 Blush, there is a fine steady drizzle that has soaked everything.

No storm. Sad

KatyMac · 04/08/2011 08:45

No storm in East Norfolk but a downpouring of torrential rain about 7:15pm

& an electric cut about 90 minutes later

GloriaSmud · 04/08/2011 09:04

We've got drizzly rain too. Looks like it's going to be a very wet day.

WyrdMother · 04/08/2011 09:08

In South Norfolk drizzle now but glorious ride of the Valkries thunderstorm last night. Bliss.

Looks like it's an indoor day though.

WyrdMother · 04/08/2011 09:09

Valkyries even Grin

OhYouBadBadKitten · 04/08/2011 09:15

6.5mm over night and 17C what a contrast to yesterday!
