Thunder Storm Down South

[tiggerblue10]

Don't know about anywhere else but there is a much needed thunderstorm and lightning occurring in South London. First lot of cats and dogs in several weeks :o)

[ummmm]

We had a few rumbles of thunder and then nothing.

It started here about an hour ago. Have opened every door and window in the house. Heaven.

yes, watering the lawn good and proper. But it really only lasted about 5 minutes. Considering we'd been promised rain all day, I feel a little let down.

[tiggerblue10]

We had a smaller 5 minute storm about an hour ago and got my washing in, in the nick of time. And now its been going on for about half an hour. Still quite muggy though and there is a bit of a not very nice smell outside so keeping doors closed.

sun shining now.

It's on the move.

Nothing here yet.

Nothing here nor due, looks like it's over the eastern half of the UK. Have to water the garden again tonight, sigh.

Well at least my dad won't call me to remind me to water his precious fig tree that's at the bottom of my garden!

[Georgiesmum]

Nothing here yet.

East Sussex had a 30 min storm/downpour an hour ago, but still horribly hot.

Must have been quite a downpour in York, too. The good to firm forecast going is now officially good to soft. So glad i chose not to go up there tonight - had the chance as there was a spare seat going in the car.
