Lightening map shows a huge storm in the south west heading central England. Is anyone experiencing it? Please send it up to me 😁

Google still insisting it’s not going to rain today! Meanwhile SE London there’s a glorious storm!

Twokittenchaos · Yesterday 04:14

Hit SW London about 20 mins ago with the loudest thunderclap and so much lightening! DD and DH obviously sleeping through it while the cats & I watch out of the window.

South West London here - my gosh I don’t think I’ve experienced a storm like it!

TheGospelAccordingToMe · Yesterday 04:15

Here in SW London now (sorry for duplicate post, I’m half asleep)

Storms a coming!
HelenaWilson · Yesterday 04:15

I think we must just be catching the edge of it here in Kent. Thunder is rumbling, but not crashing overhead.

I'm reading downstairs. I haven't got to get up for anything in the morning so can go back to bed and sleep late if I want to.

Deafening thunder woke me up @ 3:48. Torrential rain and T&L still relentless but a bit further away now…SE Londonish!

Just hit se London.

CatsMcGoo · Yesterday 04:18

Also in London. Urgh I HATE thunderstorms. How long do they take to pass over?

DreadedInn · Yesterday 04:19

Lightning and rain in south Essex. Not much thunder weirdly, guess we’re on the edge.

YvieYfronts · Yesterday 04:19

And just like that, it stopped! I can hear the thunder in the distance but I think it’s passed.

Ndd1356387 · Yesterday 04:23

It’s passing over South West London and hell it’s angry!!! Lots and lots of lightning, torrential rain and angry crashes.

nomas · Yesterday 04:24

Still going strong in London. I’ve never seen lightning like this in all my years.
It’s every 10 seconds, interspersed with thunder.

Thewayimfeeling · Yesterday 04:24

Seems to have calmed right down (south west london). Been awake for around an hour - the thunder was very scary. Can hear faint rumbles and light rain now. Wow! Was not expecting that!

LittlePickleHead · Yesterday 04:27

Just posting from SE London as been awake for about 30 minutes now it’s still really close by. Had to run around making sure all the windows were properly shut! It’s quite scary

Glad I shut my kitchen velux in the evening…..I hate leaving them open while out / at night just in case……

EmpressaurusKitty · Yesterday 04:29

Every time I think it’s moved on, there’s another faint flash or rumble.

Darker · Yesterday 04:30

Thunder and birdsong….

ThereWeAreThensmileyface · Yesterday 04:31

Surrey - its happening now - the thunder and lightening have woken me up !

Uninspiredusername · Yesterday 04:32

South east London and wow, it’s so intense! Expecting floods with this intensity. Gosh with the lack of sleep tomorrows going to be interesting

Youspurnme · Yesterday 04:33

Bloody hell I’ve just been woken up by the most enormous clap of thunder, it’s like the fricken end of days out there!
also slightly annoyed I watered the garden 😂 SW London btw

beasmithwentworth · Yesterday 04:34

Yes another one in SE London here. I couldn’t resist getting up and sitting by the window for a while. Not seen a storm like it in years. It’s crazy!

WhatNextImScared · Yesterday 04:35

Yup, it’s hit south London. I’ve got to leave the house for work at 7am. It has better have buggered off by then.

The BBC still isn’t showing it on the forecast. Do you think the temperature predictions might not be quite right?

bluewanda · Yesterday 04:35

My wish was granted. Any chance this might mean cooler weather tomorrow?

Ndd1356387 · Yesterday 04:36

South West London - the calm after the storm. That was a crazy one

EmpressaurusKitty · Yesterday 04:37

Pretty sure it’s left West London now.
