To complement the Summer weather thread.

Tomorrow could see some thunderstorms in places across England, but by tomorrow evening, the main area of risk appears to be in the central southern areas (revised forecast from earlier) , where frequent lightning and small hail could form in any storms that evolve.

DS is in Southampton and had texted to say it’s been nonstop there for a while now. There’s a river outside his window and the thunder and lightning has been continuous.

We had a bizarre experience earlier as it sounded exactly like the built in wardrobes in our bedroom had collapsed. As neither us knew that thunder was forecast we dashed up to look, I hope it was thunder after all.

GloriaSmud · 21/04/2018 23:12

We've got thundery rain and the wind's got up but that's about it here (Leicester)

SneakyGremlins · 21/04/2018 23:13

My family all live in Southampton, wish I was there Sad

HabituallyOptimistic · 21/04/2018 23:14

Uh oh, here come the rumbles... SW London.

Doje · 21/04/2018 23:17

South of Leeds and just had some thunder and lightning here!

Watto1 · 21/04/2018 23:17

SE Wales here. No storm as of yet, but got a stinking headache as I always do when there's thunder about. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it starts soon.

2004bestyear · 21/04/2018 23:19

Pretty bad over North Hampshire at the moment

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/04/2018 23:26

Seems to have passed over or fizzled out here in mid-Hampshire. That was about an hour of almost non-stop lightning and thunder. The biggest storm I've seen in years.

Wh0KnowsWhereTheT1meG0es · 21/04/2018 23:30

It's been rumbling and flashing all evening here but never overhead, all distant - Surrey/Hants borders.

shockedballoon · 21/04/2018 23:37

Storm just passed over here in Leeds - lasted about 15mins in total.

SneakyGremlins · 21/04/2018 23:50

Still waiting Sad

brizzledrizzle · 21/04/2018 23:53

We've seen some amazing lightning photos from round here, somebody got one by the bridge which was stunning.

HabituallyOptimistic · 22/04/2018 00:04

And here it is. Torrential rain, flashes every few seconds and constant bangs/rumbles. Dogs sleeping, me not so.

RustyBear · 22/04/2018 00:36

It seems to have missed us in Wokingham - I’ve noticed this before, that we get big storms passing east and west of us and we’re in a corridor between, with just a few isolated strikes. The screen shots are from tonight and July 2015 and show a similar pattern, and I’ve seen it at other times too.

Just had a massive thunderstorm here (Heathrow) with lashings of rain!

JillJ72 · 22/04/2018 03:37

Arriving in N Bucks now.....

GloriaSmud · 07/05/2018 18:24

Thought I'd give this thread a little 'bump' as some could see thundery showers tomorrow as temperatures return to normal.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 07/05/2018 19:53

Whereabouts gloria? Love a good thunderstorm, never seem to get many in London

GloriaSmud · 07/05/2018 20:50

Might get the odd thundery shower/rumble of thunder later tomorrow and Wednesday, whatthefox. Don't think it's going to be big thunderstorms for you on this occasion, more thundery showers and a gradual cooling down from tomorrow onwards.
Still there's plenty more summer to come so hopefully some decent thunderstorms will come your way then!

Whatthefoxgoingon · 07/05/2018 21:33

Fingers crossed Gloria 🤞

youarenotkiddingme · 23/05/2018 17:41

Just came to start a thread for your take on weekends weather OYBBK

Guessed you'd probably already have one Star

youarenotkiddingme · 23/05/2018 17:42

Sorry posted too soon!

What's your take on the storms predicted to last for 12 hours Sat through to Sun noon?
South coast central.

GloriaSmud · 26/05/2018 14:27

Just going to give a 'bump' to this thread as there are weather warnings for heavy showers/thunderstorms from today through 'til Monday.
