It has pretty much rained all day here just north of London too, with it picking up in the last few hours just as it looked to be easing off. I expected a bit of a dry slot this afternoon!
Just got caught out by a storm in my walk! Rain started, thought I’d turn around and then there was what seemed like a close strike and a huge boom of thunder! I thought ‘best run back!’. Got a bit wet.
Very heavy rain and a house shaking rumble of thunder following a very bright flash of lightning from the line of cells stretching north out of London.
