The sun's finally made an appearance, nicely timed after I've been flat out in the garden since about 10am (as in working!) Time for a well earned Pimms....

[Stroudley]

Feeling very humid and the sky has clouded over now.

Just 3mm of rain from this morning. 

[Norfolk Sheep]

Not a warm day at all here, unless you're out of the nagging onshore wind in an occasional patch of sun. I've had to add another layer!

[Lauren]

It's gone unbearably humid here. Hope we get something to show for it.

In the caravan on the Norfolk Coast this week. Enjoyed a couple of hours on a paddle steamer touring around the Broads yesterday and saw a Marsh Harrier and Crested Grebe. Today visited Horsey Gap beach to see the seals and this evening enjoyed a visit from an amazing Black Arches moth that landed on the awning window. Great to see nature still doing well in this lovely county.

[Ellozee]

It's actually steamy in the air, maybe the earlier rain burning off... or just very high humidity

[lottiekent]

Like most of the rest of you, it’s disgustingly humid here. Currently sitting at 21.8c and full cloud.

Wonder if that lot moving up from France will electrify. There’s one whole lightning strike in it now, don’t get too excited everyone

Oh My GAAAAAD!!!! *rushes around squealing* 

[Stroudley]

Rain has arrived. Very light initially but intensifying now. 

No wind at all at the moment. 

[Froze were the Days]

I'll stand by for the usual cloud, humidity and drizzle/light rain...usually happens at least 8 times out of 10.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Everyone saying how humid it is, it ain't here! It's cold and I've got a blanket over my legs in the lounge!

I’d swap happily, it’s still 22.7c outside and humidity is 90%. And it’s 24.5c in the bedroom. Not going to be a restful night

You can't say the water (channel) doesn't effect it ..maybe if over couple thousand feet it doesn't..so it can't be can it .

..leaves northern France loads of lightning then nothing.. fair play  got the rain but somethings  eathed it out on the electrical side (which sadley isn't ours ..:(

After what's been a warm and sunny afternoon here in St Leonards on Sea the rain has just arrived but doing nothing to supress the muggy feeling.  Currently 20.6c after a max of 25.4c earlier.  Some thundery activity would be most welcome but seems unlikely this 'far west'.  I'm not giving up hope though.

[Maidstone marginal]

If anywhere gets a thunderstorm tonight it will be the usual suspects of far east Kent Folkestone up to Ramsgate. Happens time and again on these summer night storm situations.

[Vortex3929]

Rain has arrived which sounds nice. No storms but my understanding was around midnight for the storm potential. We'll see... what doesn't materialise 

[Darkcloud]

Distant rumbles to the south, 20.8°C and still very muggy despite the rain.

My head pressure tells me we're going to get it......

I've got a headache, but atm only drizzle heading this way. 

[snowrye]

It's all a bit meh 

[alexisj9]

Nothing here yet re rain or storm.

Actually just started raining when I typed the last comment oops.

[Harry's House]

Started raining here too, but no storm yet.

[Darkcloud]

Torrential rain now and thunder/lightening much closer.

The lightening radar showing a lot of activity in the channel and making landfall on South coast

Not so much any more even here sadly. Used to be almost a guarantee of a French import several times a summer and these days it just seems to sail up the channel closer to France. 
 

Just had some rain for a bit which hasn’t helped the humidity one little bit and have heard several very distant rumbles from what’s crossing the channel now (also to go to the east of even me here in SE Kent I would say)

[Norfolk Sheep]

The drizzle has morphed into heavier drizzle with some actual rain further south, but I think Estofex had more of a handle on things than the MetO etc. They should really stop going into a meltdown at the slightest indication of moderately heavy rain.
