Hi all, first post.  Looking forward to chatting with you all as we go into my favourite time of year.  My first winter living on the edge of the Peak District too so I am excited to see what it brings.  For now though enjoying the relief from the recent heat 

Welcome to the forum TW. No matter how niche your weather preferences might be you'll find like minded people on here and the amount of weather information in the way of charts etc is second to none. Enjoy!

Moderate rain has turned heavy now here over the past few hours

Steady rain here in WS3 for the last hour (The kind that soaks you to the skin)

Brightening up now. Warm & Muggy

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Iffy again tomorrow with potential washout, been lucky last 3 days!

[cyclonic happiness]

Looks like the majority of the rain will miss us again today.  The desert zone of middle England remains dry as a bone, even with yesterday's drizzle

[Neil Harris]

Yet more nasty drizzly rain in WS3 this morning.

I know they say we need it, but I really haven't missed it.

[matty40s]

We almost have semi drizzle west of Northants, not enough to stop us sitting outside for T break though!!

[Neil Harris]

Been a bit heavier here this last hour.

 

4 hours of rain now.

[matty40s]

We managed 1 hour of reasonably heavy rain, not torrential by any means. Now dry again.

[Terminal Moraine]

Up to the end of yesterday we need a little over 13 hours of bright sunshine here to make this the sunniest August since 1995. Just about do-able although the Met office forecast is talking about quite a bit of cloud over the next few days as the NE breeze picks up slightly and brings low cloud in from the North Sea.

164.5 hrs recorded so far this month and 2003 recorded 177.6 hrs.

[Terminal Moraine]

The first thunder this year here with a couple of rumbles associated with a heavy shower at 1535-1555 g.m.t.

There’s a very good chance some of us will see more of that this forthcoming week, also in the early hours later, some decent rainfall is forecasted...my garden needs it

[Dancerwithwings]

It’s 1:10am...Well that’s certainly woke me up, some cracking flashes & booms here, with a right good pour down

[syed2878]

Some bright flashes of lightning with quite loud cracks of thunder however the rain wasn’t too heavy

[Polar Maritime]

Lovely storm passed here, died off now. What a show!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

didnt want to look at time, assume around half one it arrived here

[Terminal Moraine]

No thunder all year and then two consecutive days with thunder! The storm passed through between 1.45 and 2.15 b.s.t but it looked as though the centre of it was a few miles east of here.

[Puddy Galore]

We  had torrential rain with a few flashes of lightening and rumbles of thunder sometime between 1-2 am.  It only lasted 20 mins or so at the most before moving away.

[Dancerwithwings]

I can safely say it’s going to hammer down very soon

It has been hammering down here in W Malvern - full on thunder and lightning at the moment. Been awhile since we've had that.

[Don]

Really tanking down here, with a little thunder but torrential rain is the main theme!
