Bonkers storms, black skies, really loud thunder, and torrential rain here in Derby!
Anyone else?

Same here in the High Peak. Set off my car alarm!

We are in Barrow upon Trent. Yep just the same here!

FannyCornforth Mon 10-Apr-23 13:01:10

Ooh, you’re in the High Peak - lucky you! The lights keep flashing on and off…

Merseyside it’s been torrential rain and a black sky.

Rained all morning but now sunny on the south coast.

Heavy rain showers with intermittent sunny spells here

JaneJudge Mon 10-Apr-23 13:06:18

we had horizontal rain about half an hour ago, t's a bit of a shame as it has been really quite pleasant the last few days sad

North Manchester /Bright about 7 am, bit of rain at 9. By mid day we had thunder and now we have torrential rain. Lovely. I’ve put the gas fire on to cheer us up (3 dogs here)

Oo, I wish!! Love a thunderstorm.

Fylde coast here, just torrential rain and the wind's getting up.

FannyCornforth Mon 10-Apr-23 13:24:07

Really bright and sunny now! 🌞

Here in S.W Scotland we had glorious sunshine this morning, clouded over but now the sun is making another appearance but i don't think it will be long before the rain comes in.

Barrow on Soar here and we have been sitting on our glass corridor with the dgc watching it all. Fabulous.

Sunshine and showers here in Central Scotland.

BlueBelle Mon 10-Apr-23 13:26:55

Poured all day on east coast and still is

nanna8 Mon 10-Apr-23 13:32:19

It’s freezing here- coldest it’s been for about 80 years- what’s going on ?

Grandmabatty Mon 10-Apr-23 13:36:55

I love thunder and lightning! None here in central Scotland. Just showers.

Ziplok Mon 10-Apr-23 13:37:23

Heavy rain, black sky and a rumble or two of thunder here, too, now. It’s not cold, though.

cornergran Mon 10-Apr-23 13:39:55

Heavy rain this morning, sunshine now in Somerset. Very, very windy. Taken the blooms off the magnolia. Grrr.

Georgesgran Mon 10-Apr-23 13:40:42

Just cold and raining here in Durham. At least it’s put paid to whoever is banging, sawing and hammering nearby!

Charleygirl5 Mon 10-Apr-23 13:46:07

It was raining when I first crawled out of bed and we had some sun in London. Now it is dry but rain is forecast for later. Luckily my 5 machine loads dried outside yesterday.

Sparklefizz Mon 10-Apr-23 14:07:24

Here in South Gloucestershire it's sunny with blue skies and a few fluffy white clouds but is getting increasingly windy with great gusts every so often.

Bridie22 Mon 10-Apr-23 14:55:44

Monsoon type down pour earlier, north east coast, stopped now but grey.

SueDonim Mon 10-Apr-23 14:59:58

In the Central Belt for the day. A few ninja showers earlier but in general it’s sunny and breezy.

grannydarkhair Mon 10-Apr-23 15:02:33

It’s a lovely sunny but a bit windy day here in Dundee. Was really warm yesterday, went to my first car-boot sale of the year, had to take my coat off and carry it. I love watching lightning, but really don’t like thunder.
