Thunder ⚡ it's arrived

[justasking111]

Following lightning maps, Camber area, lots moving across the English channel. Looks like they'll be dogs in with their owners tonight

Doesn’t look like it’s getting closer though. Is it moving away?

I bloody love a storm

Big storm here on the border of London and Kent. Lots of thunder, lightning and torrential rain 😁 I absolutely bloody love it!

No thunder here which is a shame as both DH and DS love a good thunderstorm. It would be a welcome sight to me too as it's humid as hell here.

OH my that's a good un

You can keep it 😆

Nothing going on in London. It rained about an hour ago and few claps of thunder and that was it.

Quite disappointed as the atmosphere desperately needs freshening.

Please send it to north Wiltshire asap so I don’t have to drag the hosepipe out again 🙏

Happy to. My favourite kind of weather!

Whereabouts (roughly) are you, as it's gorgeously stormy here?

SW London, just had 40 minutes of occasional (but very loud) thunder. Poor dog is more terrified than I have ever seen her ☹️ but now calming down

Good: lots of thunder and lightning (love a storm!), and heavy rain for a while, so the air is now much clearer and it's less humid

Bad: our roof is still leaking :(

Any idea if/when this is going to reach Somerset? I've got a big party planned in the garden with a bouncy castle on Saturday. I do it every year and the bouncy castle company want to cancel for the second year in a row. It doesn't look that bad on the BBC website, just a bit of light rain first thing in the morning.

Can't see issues on Saturday. Are they setting up tomorrow? There's some rain then

We had massive thunderstorm about 6 this morning. Staffordshire. Loved it

They are meant to be coming on Saturday at 10am. Party starts at 11. I can only see light rain that is supposed to be stopping by 10am on Saturday so don't know why they have itchy feet.

Water and electricity if it's a plug in one

@justasking111 looks like there'll be dogs in with their owners tonight

Who doesn't keeps their dogs inside overnight?? Or do you mean in their owner's bedrooms?!

Under the duvet 😂
