Not a jot, rain has been on the forecast for the last 18 hours and it has all missed us. Cardiff to the East and Swansea to the West have both had decent rain over the last few days but competely bypassed us. Shame house could do with some rain to cool it down, thick stone walls, slow to hear slow to cool.

Lovely this morning. A little fog, 17c and cool breeze. Such a contrast to yesterday 88% humidity 33c hell.

Thunder and lightning over Bedfordshire currently
Did you actually think I was being serious? Slightly worrying. Look at 1911, for instance.

I'm disappointed we haven't had any of this thunderstorm so far. We've had some flashes every so often coming from the far distance, maybe the odd very low rumble of thunder, but nothing has actually arrived overhead.
Please send us whatever you lot are getting

That was a nice bit of rain last night.
Sat out on the front porch for a few minutes to grok the storm and enjoy the cool breeze.
A neighbour's cat had the same idea and was sat in the porch of the house next to me.

Lots of thunderstorms forecast today. We’ll see how accurate the forecast is.

Well it was certainly fresher when I finally surfaced an hour ago, presumeably from some overnight rain? I wasn't woken by any thunder overnight. But the temp is rapidly rising (was ~23C at 1000), now back up to 29/30C and Mystic Meg Wunderground/ Met office are bigging up rain and thunder from just after 1400.

Currently raining in Cheltenham and has been for about an hour, could have done with it last night, but not complaining as anything is better than nothing. Current temperature is 23C which is fine, better than the additional 10C we had on top of that the last two days.
The last two nights I've checked the temperature in the house just before going to bed it has been a minimum of 28C inside and by morning despite having windows open the bedroom temperature had only dropped to 26C. Looking forward to having a better night's sleep tonight (possibly).
Had some lightning and rumbles of thunder last night, but nothing to write home about. You normally see lightning making its way up the River Severn and striking the Severn Bridge occasionally in the process as it heads towards Gloucester, etc., but it seemed to be hanging around towards the east this time.

Il pleut! 
Well, super-fine drizzling.
Edit: Well that drizzle didn't last long and no thunder so far, it's all headed towards Bournemouth and got more intense in patches, that might well be it now until maybe around 1900.
Edit2: Thunder!

Finally, relief! The heat is gone! Feels like a great stifling Tog 12+ Duvet has been lifted from our collective heads. Not a drop of rain but nothing unusual about that.
Was watching that on the weather radar yesterday despite the storms over northern france as soon as they drift into the channel they all dissipate presumably because there are no thermals to power them and inspite of the fact that the other side of the channel is the very definition of scorched earth.
Massive storm cloud heading across the channel now, annoyingly the wind is blowing west/north west so it could potentially miss London.
Southampton looks like it's going to get a decent show.

Right now it has been raining and sound of thunder as well, here in Bournemouth that is.
