A mixture of sunshine and showers all day, here in Stockton-on-Tees. At least the sound of rain on the roof of the shop I work in gave me the impression it was raining... Quite windy now and raining again.
We had a big thunderstom yesterday and a localised lightning strike that made half the lights in the shop go out. The security radio burst into life (Out-of-town Retail Park) shortly afterwards, with half a dozen shops claiming their lights had gone out as well.
Windy and sunny here... it has stayed dry. The flyover from Buck palace this afternoon flew over my house on their way back to whereever. That was fun to watch, we all went out to the garden to see
Not so bad this morning, bit grey but dry then started raining just after 2pm in Manchester and not stopped much since.
Seemed warm though, was nearly melting some of the places in the Arndale it was so warm - people were walking round one of the cards shops fanning themselves with their cards. I had to get out after a while to get some fresh air and cool down.
