[Sussex Jules]

Well I can here lots of distant rumbling and a couple of loud ones in the last 30 mins

[loopydreamer]

And anotherblouder rumble in the distance.... rain not as heavy now

[Neilsouth]

This is crazy, I haven't seen it go this dark in many years! It's like 7pm in the evening!

[loopydreamer]

Loud rumble of thunder

And another...

Getting darker again

[Atmogenic]

storm is clearing up now the rain has lost intensity and the thunder is disappearing 

[lassie23]

Bog standard rain, wonderful!

Got wobbly, watery, wet, chubby rain here, which has turned to drizzle, accompanied by silent thunder and invisible lightning.    18c wind windy and from the east.

When hubby walked into the drive our night lights came on... lol

[Neilsouth]

Lightning has just knocked our sky TV offline

[loopydreamer]

Yes... hardly raining now but it's still dark outside ... like another showers on its way over... still rumbles of thunder here

[loopydreamer]

Oooh.... nice distant crackle of thunder... love that sound

[loopydreamer]

Loud crackle of thunder... thought it had finished?

[Atmogenic]

just distant rumbles now, I hope my power doesn't go out again since my rendering is at 80% then I would be really p*ssed

Reports from friends, Capel lighting hit the ground right next to a friends window. Folkstone friend reported a river of water running down the road and lot's of lightning.

 

Here didn't even wet all the surface outside, sun is trying to come out but being stopped by cumulus from the north sea, you couldn't make it up lol.

Hello there everyone, as an occasional lurker on this forum I have been informed and entertained by the various posts for a while now.

 

Bring on the weather!

 

Bedford dull and a little breezy so far today.

[seaside 60]

Proper rain for once.

Dark skies, lights needed.

Thunder and lightning, always think lightning is such a waste in the day.
