Lincolnshire - absolutely chucking it down thank goodness!

Nwales. It's 2 hours late, according to bbc weather. Muggy, tiny spots of rain and everyone on high alert for the washing. Don't want to wash my hair until the humidity drops.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 10/09/2023 15:47

I just got excited by a noise but it was a plane 😂

The wind has picked up a bit here West Yorkshire so I’m hoping it’s coming. Better call the cats in before it comes or they’ll hide under cars instead.

I'm the opposite to you weather people - love tracking weather, hate thunder.
I'm watching this rain radar alongside the lightning map.org - you can see it coming!!

We had one at teatime yesterday (North Shropshire) - I'd just put everything on the table in the garden so we could eat tea outside. It rumbled very loudly for at least half an hour before it rained heavily for about 1/2 hour. It is much cooler today. It was sunny this morning but it's been grey since lunchtime but no thunder.

@BeggyMitchell

Yeah ok. I take my words back. It had stopped here too. 😂 I NEED SOME FRESH AIR!

TheClitterati · 10/09/2023 15:55

We've had warnings for a while but no sign of thunderstorms yet in Kent.

Bring them on.

SoRainbowRhythms · 10/09/2023 15:56

Nothing in SE London. Covered all the garden furniture in hope just in case.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 10/09/2023 16:00

Thunder here now with rain 😁

In Ireland but it’s very overcast and cold. Light rain on and off, and I’m getting texts about weather warnings.

I’ve never been happier 🙈😂😂😂

BroomHandledMouser · 10/09/2023 16:10

Just had this bad boy roll passed. It’s getting really dark again ⚡️😊

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 10/09/2023 16:16

I keeps coming and going here, just had a massive roll of thunder after a quiet 10 minutes. The sky is getting darker. No lightening yet though.

Syndulla · 10/09/2023 16:17

Seen a tweet that said there have been 30000 lightning strikes. Absolutely mind boggling.

GettingStuffed · 10/09/2023 16:17

We had one overhead late morning, the house shook and I've had a headache ever since.

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 10/09/2023 16:18

I'm South East, they keep saying there's a storm coming or it will get cooler, yet to see it.

Nothing here in north Somerset. Had some rain last night but it's warm and sunny now. Having said that this little patch of the county seems to have it's own weather pattern...we haven't had a thunderstorm yet this year but 20 miles down the road had a massive one a couple of weeks ago and all we got was 1 very faint rumble of thunder.

I'm also in north Somerset and we had a doozie this morning. You're right about our micro climate here.

VoluptuaSneezelips · 10/09/2023 16:34

Another Manc here, wondering if I play full blast the thunderstorm will get the memo that this is the rainy city. 😂

I hate to tell you, but we had a massive thunderstorm last night... and today it's just as hot as it was beforehand.

I'm in Cornwall btw.

Yep, same here in north Devon. Huge storm this morning and still muggy as hell.

Orangebadger · 10/09/2023 16:36

London here. It's awful I am just exhausted! We had a sprinkle of rain when I excitedly bought all my washing in hoping for a downpour! I could have counted the rain drops!!

It felt a bit apocalyptic! Went very dark very quickly. Here's another - the houses give some perspective on the size of the cloud formation. I've googled it and I think it's a vortex cloud (but I'm not entirely sure).

Edited

That is an incredible photo and a book spooky too!

GoryBory · 10/09/2023 16:43

I had rain in Cornwall (I don’t remember a big storm though unless I slept through it) which was nice for the wildlife and plants but as the PPs have said it’s still boiling and muggy.

Peppapiggie · 10/09/2023 16:49

We had thunderstorms in Devon this morning and it's made no bloody difference! Still sweating my tits off🥵
