Absolutely hammering down here in Bristol. The thunderstorm passed over about 15 minutes ago and was so powerful that it was lighting up rooms and making the entire building vibrate at the same time.

Dog is going complete mad now as she's not used to the loud noises.

It set off some car alarms on my street, pretty impressive.

It's a bit pony here in Orsett not great lightning considering the high heat we have had no rain either still baking my balls off.

We've had a little(ish) storm in Newcastle. Seems to have passed over quite quickly, not much rain. Some big strikes though.

Great pictures! Do you mind if I take the first one for a wallpaper for my comp?

Looking forward to a good thunderstorm it has been a very long time since we had a decent one, Although I don't want the hot weather to end!

By all means, please do.

Been thundering and lightning on and off for a few hours now in Norfolk and the rains just hit.

That fresh summer rain smell.

Heavens have just opened here like somebody switched on a tap, haven't seen rain like this for ages. Also massive amounts of lightning flashes and rumbles of thunder.

Dogs didn't like that one.

Ryan-3 · 23 Jul 2013 at 06:00

Still seems a bit **** outside, with distant rumbles every so often.

No rain though.

Huggie86 · 23 Jul 2013 at 06:09

The heavens well and truly opened up an hour ago but it all seems to have past. Hope we get some more later.

Thunderstorms in Telford only last 10 minutes and that's it. What's a crap! Only sheet lightning!

Not seen thunder and lightening like this in Manchester for a long time. Quite nice apart from it bothering all of the pets. Seems to be dying down a bit though.
