On holiday in Norfolk. Lovely breezes by the sea, but stiflingly hot inland. Saw a haystack on fire yesterday so we pulled over to report it. Looking at local news this morning it took 12 appliances to deal with it. Nobody hurt, but a caravan destroyed.

ha! I'm in Farnham - and yep, just stuck my head out of the window and it's raining, the sky is nice and dark too, oh my god - it smells so refreshing,

That smell! Just standing out in the rain now. Big drops but not heavy yet. Impressive bolts of Lightning across the dark sky. Sounds like the worlds biggest subwoofer playing Wagner right now.

Moar!

Thunderstorm warning just issued in Hertfordshire. Will believe it when I see it.

Do the cold water job as your feet control your body temperature. I know its crazy but it works.

Bowl or bucket of cold water dip your toes in and you will feel right as rain again.

That's why we can do holidays as we have a pool or the sea to cool off, here we are screwed.

Just as my hosepipe was perking up, the weather slammed it's legs shut on me! Barely enough rain to water a small cactus! Lightning was impressive while it lasted though.

Randomface74 · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:18

light rain atm, air smells like sand

Felon · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:19

Big fat raindrops here now, been raining steadily for about 30 mins or so, long may it last..

explicit4u · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:20

Chucking it down now in Camden. So weird to see people running into the rain rather than trying to get out of it.

pokerking · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:20

It's thundered a lot today here in Leeds, with massive downpours.

It's got warmer today!!!! What's going on. It's meant to cool the air down

CaptainRAVE · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:21

Gone dark here. Lightning tracker shows lightning over London now. West of Norwich seems to be getting it.

hominid · 27 Jul 2018 at 16:26

Lots of thunder and about 5 minutes of rain, first for about 7 weeks or so, which has already dried up everywhere. Hopefully the grass has survived, it's been straw yellow for 3-4 weeks.
