Thunderstorms

[diamount]

Really chucking it down now, worse its been for a month.

Something going down in Oxford, rumbles of thunder. Although I did miss lunch, could be that...

 

[robfosters]

We've just had rain of biblical proportions in bexley. What's more, I was out in it!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Heaviest rain I have seen for a while. Only one shower so far, but wouldn't want to get caught out in one of those!

Blimey mental thunderstorm right now in kent. Not heard thunder like this before in this country! Sounds like cluster bombs going off in my back garden. Crazyyyy

Same here in East London. About 15 bolts of lightning in the space of 30 minutes pretty close too a few filled the room with light.

 

[harenzo]

Short but very loud bout in London (Islington) woke me up.

 

[Buckster]

fantastic storm here too

one of the best of the summer

 

[RJC]

That woke me up at half two, quite a few loud claps of thunders that shook the house!

 

[Cosimo]

Heard a storm during the night, didn't hear rain but we've had a soaking.

 

[Azza]

Am I seeing double here...

 

[Cosimo]

Am I seeing double here...

No you're not. Blame it on the atmospheric conditions.

Swindon got quite the pasting, some big hail for this country.

Chippenham & Corsham had a real beating! I went to the top of Box hill as the storm seemed to be moving over and the visibility in, what can only be described as torrential biblical rain didn't make great driving weather and stopped me using my camera!!

Visibility was down to a few feet with some serious surface water slowed my progress. At one point I had a wall of water on the left of the car for about 1/2 mile.

As we left Corsham and came down the A4 to the Sainsburys roundabout, a bolt came down about 1/4 mile in front of us and you could see it fizzle. Not sure how describe it, but its like it was on fire.

Never seen anything like it!

It was immense thunder and lightning last night (just before 3am). Never heard such loud claps.

 

[Dave]

Right overhead here last night at about 2 am. I've forgotten how loud lightning is when it strikes right next to you!

 

[Bishie]

Not from last night, but bizarre nonetheless.

 

[mithrandir]

Just had five minutes or so of crazy hammering of hailstones. The wind was howling throughout the house (never experienced that before) and whilst the hailstones were raining down I could see rain being blown horizontally.

Now the sun has come out!

 

[Psypher5]

anyone see LOADS of flashes in the sky last night (oxford). No thunder though.. at all. Just 50 + flashes of light filling the sky, like lightning it seemed but no forks/visible bolts...

was a bit eerie :/

 

[Kosmiche]

I saw a rich roberts and a gareth white storm in wide viewscreen
