Oww lovely, but I can't stagger back from Colchester, the A12 might be a bit dodgy at that time of day!

Just started some pre-frontal rain here

Although not technically in the SE, that frontal mass is typically skirting RG14 and all the lightning thus far is out at sea. Coast could get lucky though, more especially if he shares those ales with us.

Only when there are no firefighters around !

That shower didn't amount to much here anyway, it's a bit cloudy and breezy but a pleasant 20 deg C

[Norfolk Sheep]

Just started to spit with rain here; I must say I'm impressed with my timing - loads of gardening done, grass cut and washing out and in with about 15 minutes to spare

[Callie]

I didn't think the bad weather was due until tomorrow! Although I finished work at 5pm and nipped into the local Tescos, came back to the car ten minutes later and surrounded by a good 3 inches of rain, so the weather warning explains it!!

[Lauren]

The weather really has been mindnumbingly boring round here for several months.

Ironically the 2 week ahead forecast suggests my holiday in Greece will be a week of torrential rain and severe thunderstorms, possibly the only time in life I really do not want a thunderstorm.

How accurate would a forecast be that far out? I may cry if I don't get some sun.

[Kent Snow]

Steady rain for the past 30 minutes. Slate grey.

[Coast]

Rained constantly for the last 3 hours but no thunder yet

[Sussex Jules]

Rained constantly for the last 3 hours but no thunder yet

Gone very dark outside now Coast you never know those storms in the channel might make it here

[Biggin]

Arghhhhhh! Tonight and then the next three days in Hampshire again and what happens? Storms around Sussex!

Stop gallavanting around then QS

[Biggin]

Heavy shower just now
