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

It's cold, very windy and had several heavy hail storms on the Isle of Man. Poor holidaymakers.

Sunny here in S W Wales but a trifle windy.

An occasional shower but mostly dry and cloudy in south west Northumberland. Rather cooler than of late. I'm toying with the idea of lighting the fire.

Cold, windy, heavy rain this morning in Oxford.
The sun has made an appearance this afternoon, but it is still cold and windy.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Poured all day on east coast and still is

Sunshine and showers here in Central Scotland.

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

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.

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

Really bright and sunny now! 🌞

Ailidh Mon 10-Apr-23 13:22:53

Oo, I wish!! Love a thunderstorm.

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

Iam64 Mon 10-Apr-23 13:21:36

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)

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

ParlorGames Mon 10-Apr-23 13:04:49

Heavy rain showers with intermittent sunny spells here

maddyone Mon 10-Apr-23 13:03:37

Rained all morning but now sunny on the south coast.
