Another hour of heavy torrential rain, almost at the same time we had on Wednesday.  Saw a CG Strike zig-zag accross the skies as I was driving out from Sainsbury's in Oldham, then an almost instant crack of thunder.  Still feels muggy.

Some heavy showers in my neck of the woods this afternoon but nothing out of the ordinary and I've not heard any thunder.

Current temperature of 17c and humidity at 81% so  still feels very muggy although at least a lack of sunshine today has took the worst of the heat from the house.

Decent chance of storms into the afternoon.. the warm humid weather hangs on. I think our region will do quite well today.

Jesus! Flash flooding here, torrential rain, skies black and it's really muggy here in leyland.

we did get a letter from environmental other day saying we are at risk of flooding... Haven't had a letter here since 2012 when we didn't even live here then.

Not heard any thunder as of yet, would have thought it would have done it by now when we had the heavy rain earlier, it's still heavy rain but not torrential like before.

from my experience, and its not by any means what always happens,  but you hear thunder first before rain from decent thunder showers, when you get rain first and then it starts to ease, its usually game over,   the chance of  it suddenly going thundery are slim,  like i said just in my experience

Chaos in south Stockport this evening, roads including the A6 all shut or impassible due to flooding/water damage. Train services to Buxton cancelled until at least Monday, and a good few ft of standing water in places as a result of the afternoon's showers.

Other than a moderate ten minute spell of rain late morning, we've pretty well missed the forecast showers.

dry and bright at the moment.

Peeeeing it down here now but looking at the radar, it should pass through pretty quickly.

How wrong could I be, it looks like it's parked itself over me and an hour later it's still hammering it down.

thought I heard a bit of distant thunder but can't be sure and certainly no lightening.

Default summer pattern as returned.  Low Pressure stalling, heavy 'prolonged' rain showers, eventually will move away, temporary 1-2 day ridge of High Pressure, Atlantic delivers another Low Pressure.  4 days of crap.  Great end of May/early June though!

Missed most of today's forecast showers so just a poor day here rather than a diabolical one.

There's an amazing wall cloud formation to the south... I doubt it'll reach here but it does have a tornadic look to it.
