Is everyone having these dreadful storms?

No not here, we ve still got late summer weather on the east coast it’s lovely and sunny and warm spent the morning on the allotment
Whereabouts are you JJ ?

2 hours inland from the East coast. Is it seriously like summer?
The rain and thundering and lightening has started again My poor dog is hiding upstairs

we've had a couple of days of very heavy rain and thunderstorms here on the South Coast.. no hailstones though

Continuing rain for over 24hours and lots of thunderstorms in The Midlands….wish it would stop ✋

In Nottingham - it's been raining every bit of the day, but no thunder and lightning (we had that at 6ish last night)

West London, some heavy rain,and sunny spells, see but I see large grey clouds approaching.Haven't heard any thunder or seen lightening.

Sorry in a rush........Haven't heard

We havent had any bad weather so far. The past week ive been gardening in t- shirt and lightweight trousers. Folk still out and about wearing shorts (not me!). Live 2miles inland from east coast.

We've had 12hrs of heavy rain overnight in outer London but todays been warm with one very short shower ans sunny intervals no thunder or lightening but the rain woke me 2/3times last night.

Deluges of rain and occasional flashes of lightning yesterday, more heavy rain today.
Branches and a tree down along the road.
(Gloucestershire)

We had to go out this afternoon but in the opposite direction from fallen branches and tree.

Apparently there was a tornado over Tewkesbury on Friday.

It’s been bucketing down all day here in north Wiltshire, it’s just beginning to brighten up and there’s some patches of blue sky.
Yet more forecast for tomorrow.

We’re at friends, apparently at home 17 miles up the road in south Glos it’s been largely dry 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, we’ve got it here in the East Midlands. It was actually scary yesterday afternoon and last night. I’ve had a day in today knitting. 🧶

Awful here in Birmingham. A terrible thunderstorm and torrential rain yesterday.

Central Scotland and no storms. We had a lovely week of sunshine and now it's dull but quite calm

Just rain here in Berkshire. Nothing dramatic. We did have a thunderstorm a couple of days ago.

Some rain, our usual wind, here in lovely Lincs.

Plenty of stormy weather south of London, lots of rain, but still warm out there, was quite hot in the sun yesterday but the weather was heavy and I got a migraine, usually do when a storm is brewing.

Where are you, JaneJudge?

We’ve had some rain last night and a little today, but no storms (yet) outer SW London.
Until yesterday it was still Indian summer weather - even the wind was warm. But cooler today - still very mild though.

Sorry Janejudge but it’s been lovely all weekend and is still 20* this evening on east coast
Oldbat I ve been out on the allotment Friday and today in a
t shirt and was really hot
We ll probably suffer after you guys but so far very summery

Drove from Wales to Cornwall in sunshine yesterday, heavy rain during the night, warm sunny but damp today, no actual rain and still blue skys. I apologise about the previous odd post pressed the wrong tab on the key board !

We had a scary thunderstorm on Friday, here in Surrey.
(Aldershot had a tornado)

I stepped outside our back door when there seemed to be a lull, only for an almighty flash and bang to explode right overhead.
I think I diced with death there!

Wise after the event, I googled for advice and found "Staying safe in a lightning thunderstorm" at redcross.org.uk

It's very interesting but I don't think I could crouch down with my hands on my knees and my head in between them if I was outdoors away from shelter!

Bluebelle, it is still 20 degrees here and I think that's why the lightning is so scary as it is constant.
I am NE of London

The rain is so heavy again that there is an inch and half of water on top of the patio at all times which is illuminated every minute or so by the lightning. My husband said he turned the lights off in the house last night and just sat in the kitchen watching the storm and all the outside lights turning off and on!
