aaaand after an hour's break we're off again! Torrential in KentHouse/Beckenham Area.
-
Had about an hour- hour and a half respite from the rain, - it rained all night here.... now the sky looks very dark again.....
Looking forward to driving back to Essex in it! weeeee!
-
In SE London at the moment near crystal palace. Been raining steadily for the last couple of hours now. Very humid, wind has dropped considerably since this morning...
-
Not a vast amount of Rain, but it's Windy! No more felt left on the shed roof & the Garden chairs are all over the place....
-
Apologies if it's been posted already/if you know it and have it bookmarked, but this is a pretty cool site to look at some of the Windspeeds... http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

Rain cleared about an hour ago.. it's a bit windy, but not significantly gusting.....yet!
-
I'd say the rain was moderately exciting now. I'm getting Noah/Ark comments on my twitter feed.....
-
Started to rain here about 10 minutes ago...
I'd like to say it was special rain, but it isn't. not yet.....
-
Pretty hefty downpours on the radar clipping SW coast at the moment.... should become interesting this side of the UK mid afternoon? - Keep us posted with activity in your area!
I've got my torch ready... just in case...
Stay safe everyone

Might be a good idea to take the bunting down (if like me you haven't) and not park the car under that precariously looking tree.....
Looking quite feisty on the extra radar already - will have this on my desktop running all day!
This should be interesting tonight - I'm in the process of having building done on the house, and there are lots of bits of Tarpaulin etc covering stuff up. Flap flap!
-
It's all a bit north for me
I can see it from the garden, but unless there's going to be a freak u-turn, that lovely red and purple radar blob is drifting away -
This has blown up to the east of me...but fear its going away from me
I just took a picture of that very cloud and popped it on twitter
- Prob different angle to you tho -
Dry in Upminster! According to twitter it's just started to rain the Basildon area - there are some seriously beefy looking towers out there! Will try and get some photos up when I'm off the train. Pleased that a few more guys have had a bit more action today after the localised stuff earlier this week
-
Travelling from Brent Cross on the tube back to upminster, tiny bit of thunder; skies very threatening! Will be interesting to see what it's like at the other end; imagine it will be bucketing it down given my car at the other end of the station and ill informed summer shoes....
-
All Blown Through here, think it's East Essex's turn now...
Be nice if something did brew for a bit later - it's still humid and even more so with the Sun out now.
-
I am down by the shops on Gardener Avenue. Where are you, anywhere near?
Up towards Fobbing - Near Corringham Rec!
-
Moore75 - Where in Corringham Are you? I am also there
Just saw first flash of lightning.
-
These showers are certainly slow moving - Thunder is getting louder though....
-
Just heard that rumble too Stephen, I'm in Corringham, just up the Road SS17
Woot!
-
The guy next door has just decided to mow the lawn, so any faint rumbling is being drowned out by grass getting murdered...
I might go round there.
WAIT! Just had a rumble
-
My Rain alarm has just gone off on my phone. Looks very promising outside at the moment. Radar seems to be looking good too, hopefully it'll nudge along east a bit.....
-
That would be what I can see outside, looking west towards London.
Ooh!
-
Very hazy now, clouds over to the West looking almost battleship grey.....
So it begins!
-
Little bit of tall cloud started to bubble up over the estuary - I am also radar watching while I work!
On a deeply unscientific note, the Ants that live under my patio are swarming. - This tends to happen just before a Thundery breakdown, so I'm hoping that they know something I don't...
I can see it from the garden, but unless there's going to be a freak u-turn, that lovely red and purple radar blob is drifting away

Think it stopped here for about an hour/hour and a half? It's hacking down again now though.
