Lonewolf · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:13

The storm is reluctant to leave, although the rain has ceased the thunder is still rolling close by.

Rich1988 · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:15

Dear lord, it's absolutely sweltering in my little room... I'd love a good big thunderstorm to clear the air.

We were lucky and just finished the last of the BBQ when the first spots of rain came. Now it's bouncing off the pavement and the thunder and lightning is going off every minute or two.

Not seen weather like this for a long time in Manc (it's normally half hearted crappy drizzle). Thunder and lightning for the last hour or so!

Been Lashing it down in Manchester for about an hour and a half now. Garden had a couple of inches of rain within the first 30 mins

MNuTz · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:41

pinkacidbootson · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:50

Holy crap! Im under that cluster near Manchester! Ive seen a couple of lightning strikes very close to my house, not even a delay before the thunder! :eek:

I don't remember seeing a storm this bad before!

mattbrown91 · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:53

From this evidence I recon there will be some lightening in Leeds in the next hour.

Edit : In fact, its just started raining and there is thunder. The lights are dimming and the telly is going weird

Kamerad · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:53
