In Bexley also and a huge tree has come down in the woods I back onto. Its made a right mess sadly. One to sort tomorrow. Gusts seem to be dieing down now
South East London the gusts have definitely picked up in last 30mins. Can now hear it swirling around the house. Also gone a shade or two of grey darker!
Ridiculously warm/humid air when you open the windows. Everything steamed up on the outside Were all sat in here freezing while it’s warm (if a little wet) outside
One of the most photogenic storms of recent times tracked across East London around 7 tonight. I was just south of the river so had a great view and stayed dry! Dropping a tonne of cloud to ground strikes and amazing cloud structure. Given it’s location I’m surprised more havnt been on here to report it. Unexpected!
Im looking at the storm now from my home office. Huge anvil looking ever closer. Rumbling away almost constant while Im sitting bathed in Sunshine. Its quite the sight. The kids better hurry home from school! Incoming ...
I think Bexley could be line for our second of the day. Can see the clouds bubbling up in the distance altho bright sunshine here for now. Some distant rumbling also as I type this
Bexley storm beginning to move on now but drive is under water from 10min or so of very heavy/torrential rain. Couldnt tell you the last time I saw rain here
Yes sorry we have a lovely storm here in Bexley right now. Heavy rain, frequent lightning. Its bubbled up out of nowhere within 30mins so anyone concerned about development I would say keep the faith
Swap heavy rain for torrential now!
