omfg, it just started peeing it down again. I don't know wether to laugh or cry. :/

Thunder, lightning and torrential rain here at the moment!

I actually think on the whole its been a pretty good summer. The last few weeks were generally quite nice. Thats in Bristol mind.

Lots of change more recently, it flips wildly between rainy and lovely sun.

The rain I don't mind so much, it's England so I'm used to that... but the fact that it's cold (I'm sitting here with a hoody on and all the windows shut) and so windy is what's annoying me.

Even when it's been sunny there have been 25+ mph winds.

It's because you haven't got a Prius.

If it's going to rain, lets have a freaking thunderstorm, with huge lightening.

Yes please!

Bring a bit of drama rather than all this dull stuff.

Compared to last year its been bloody fantastic.

****** weather in SW France too this year, not quite as bad as you lot but not great. Lot's of rain for the region but interspersed by hot days so not too bad.

I have to agree, would at least be some photo opportunities then!

Not this year... I have windows which
a) shut
B) haven't smashed

I really like a big thunderstorm, there's just something about them which are immensely cool.

I love them too, but I don't mind admitting that recent storms here have been a little bit scary

Crazy storm a few weeks ago where the lightning flashed every few seconds with purple, blue, yellow colours. Sheet and fork lightning lighting up the place like it was daylight and the thunder almost constantly rumbling with M A S S I V E booms every so often.

It made me feel rather small (first time seeing as I'm 6'5"

)

Why can’t we get that here?

Bet it was good to watch though!
