Some over Witney/Oxford. Love lightningmap to watch it live and wait for the sound

It has been like a monsoon in Surrey a few times today.

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro. Magnifico (Oh-oh-oh-oh).

 

[something daft already!!]

Just started to thunder here, outside Brighton. Gone very dark indeed.

Nice calm drive home from work today..

No idea why so many people pulled over or just stopped in the middle of the road, i mean the hailstones were only slightly smaller than marbles, and there was a bit of moisture, meh.

Nice calm drive home from work today..

It has been a weird few days with the weather. We didn't get it quite as bad as that here but it was quite a contrast to last few days.

Sporadic rain 'showers' today. When I mean showers I mean flooding and biblical rain. Then the sun comes out and lulls you into a false sense of security before then next biblical flood.
Thunderstorms rumbling around with some flashes of light but not as much as I'd hoped.. seemed everything went north and sound but not overhead :/

Thunder and hail in Kent

Multiple strikes in east Hampshire with torrential rain in last few minutes!

This was from the 27th, but only just spotted this thread. From my backyard. Was going on like this for about an hour

Just had the biggest most biblical thunderstorm roll through. Stood outside under the gazebo holding it down from being blown away.

Looks like quite a few bubbling up and it’s not even the hottest/humid day. Should be some good storms this week.

Looks a crazy storm, presumably heading towards Bristol!
