Thunder Storm has arrived. Has yours?

[Peter McDermott]

We've had weather warnings for North Wales for the last day or so. often these come to nothing but this time the storm has arrived: big flashes across the sky, rumble after rumble.

Anything where you are?

 

[JensenHealey]

Nope. Quick shower ealry afternoon. But a thunderstorm reported from friends less than 20 Miles away in Wolverhampton

 

[Peter McDermott]

It's absolutely massive

 

[James Evans]

Hinting at it at the moment in Wirral. Can see flashes in the distance, and hear rumbles, couple of very brief showers, but nothing much....yet....

 

[Peter McDermott]

A few before and after shots. it is midnight by the way:

Not the best-ever pictures but the sky has been alight.

 

[Rug Doc]

Lovely calm evening here! Not a cloud in the sky. Surrey/Hants borders.

 

[rbrown]

We had ours this morning at about 10am. Rain was torrential.

 

[Arkless Electronics]

Dry, calm, still, virtually no breeze, thankfully not too oppressive on the temp front, here in SE Northumberland right now.

 

[cutting42]

Blimin wish it would, very oppressive in NW London

 

[Eyebroughty]

Lots down the west coast of England.

It's been 'kicking off goodstyle' around here for a couple of hours.. Mostly to the west of us in a band from Wales up through Merseyside, West Lancs and Cumbria.. much of which we can glimpse from the Grand Duchy.

I was properly pissed off with that Thomas Shaffer- Knacker (Beeb Weather Bloke) at Lunchtime, as he kept going on about the South East 'Enduring' 'Suffering' the heat wave and then complained that those getting the thunder storms were in areas which hadn't 'had to endure the oppressive heat' or worrever.

Listen Thomas.. I don't need your personal opinion on a heat wave. I couldn't give a flying f*** if you like it or not... I like it.. and I'm only seeing cloud and humidity...
It's NOT all about the ****ing South East!!!!

Ahem...

on my part of the Wirral it was bouncing around from about 8:30 to 11:30pm when I called it a night, did seem to be over in N Wales

 

[windhoek]

Back to reality here in Glasgow: it's raining

 

[Bob McC]

Naff all in Macclesfield.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

Had a bit overnight, but somewhat half-hearted. Not worth mentioning. More forecast for teatime.

 

[Peter McDermott]

Sun shining brightly here in North East Wales, as if it never happened.....

As always, the mighty HMHB say it best:

'Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it's going to be a "miserable day"
Miserable to who? I quite like a bit of drizzle, so stick to the facts'.

 

[dweezil]

Driza bone here in Essex, just had a little splash but we're desperate for a good soaking.

Maybe a bit of drizzle continuously for a couple of weeks.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

Maybe a bit of drizzle continuously for a couple of weeks.

Or what we in the North West refer to as 'a drought'.

 

[gintonic]

nothing not a spot of rain in the heart of herts. Off to Margate again on Friday to celebrate Louise's birthday......
