After the dramatic weather for some over the last few days, mostly covered in the Thunderstorm warning threads, I think it's time to switch to a new thread. After all, we are two weeks into meteorological summer.

Or it might just fly away 🤔

Been raining non stop since 7.00 am Gloucestershire, according to rain gauge 17.5 mm

It's bucketing down in my bit of Hertfordshire!

Chucking down in Oxfordshire too, has been all day.

Would tomorrows forecast winds out you off attending an all day outdoor event in woods in Surrey ?
Or would that be overcautious ?

Weather station has recorded 31.2mm of rain today, which is going some for this area.

Our reservoir and others looking good for the last week. Much more water than this time last year.

Huge storm just gone over my part of the NE. Massive hailstorm as well- it looked like it had been snowing when I looked out in the garden.

Another spectacular storm over Manchester this morning

Rain and thunder has stopped but I can see another storm coming in from the south.

Weirdly nothing at my end of Manchester. Thought I heard thunder at one point and it rained a bit briefly but the ground is dry again already.
We're in a bit of an odd spot here, and often miss the most exciting weathers.

We've nothing booked for overseas holiday at the moment, were planning some nice staycation activities over the summer hols - any chance we're going to get more than 19/20 C again this summer?

I'm worried about the continent's extreme heat but at the same time am sincerely hoping we don't get a complete washout! :(

Some apocalyptic rain in Cirencester on Saturday, also so sunny we scorched our faces, what a weird day it was!

It looks even cooler next week. Not really happy with 17 degrees in July! And it’s been showery/windy/ low 20s for the whole of July now which is a key summer month…quite unusual.

Met Office says no sign of heatwave and temperatures average or just below average. It may improve slightly mid August. But then we’re nearly in to September!

I know this is preferable to the inferno of Europe but it’s a shame not not have some decent temps in July/Aug. As we are then back in to the never ending Winter.

In the North it looks to be 15/16 degrees tomorrow!

Where are you? It's stubbornly low to middle 20s in the foreseeable in the SE which I'm happier and relieved to see

Manchester is forecast 16 high tomorrow and nothing above 18 until Sunday. I'm in a dressing gown, I feel cold.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want 40s or anything, but it's summer and I'd like a chance at wearing shorts sometime. 25 would do.

Well my hayfever/asthma has never been as bad. The evenings especially. It's miserable.

In the SE - my phone app (not that reliable but still), has a 19 and 2 days of 18 next week. An improvement on the 17 is was showing earlier but not very July like. Would love it to be mid 20s..and the wind is very annoying.

Tops of 21 degrees for a couple of days next week. And that’s a high. It’s definitely not mid 20s which I’d define as 25 ish!

16 as a HIGH for the north is very depressing.

I just checked my photos for this time last year and the car temperature reading was 42C. Today I'm wearing a sweater and looking longingly at blankets.

My meme on FB last year was Monica standing in front of the fridge

I’d like to request a few days without scattered showers please. Really need to hang a few loads of laundry out while I’m at work.

I lit the fire last night to take the cold damp feel off the house

I wanted to so did DIL but our Grinches aka spouses wouldn't have let us 😂

It has just poured down here! Really raining and dark very stark contrast to last year
