Just had a huge thunderstorm in Herefordshire and total deluge. Roads and area around the houses flooded.

OH says worse than the 2007 floods for the speed and volume of the rain.

Glorious day here in East Sussex, Sun Shinning ,Slight breeze,all the roses are in bloom wonderfull aroma.downside not long got back from Hospital Appointment with Sasha,arrived there for 8.15app. they were(As usual ) running late,got back here about1.00pm.time in with specialist 15mins.drive time there and back 1hr. sitting on backside about three hrs.should I send them a bill? :-S :-D

This morning it rained...warm rain almost tropical :-D then brilliant sunshine OH away to play bowls in the park,but now grey clouds :-(

.....on the upside the garden's blooming lovely and 3 baby birds after a feed from mammy are having baths in the puddles....soo sweet :-D

the sun has come out now - stinking hot - washing on the line!!! :-D :-D

We had torrential rain earlier we were in town and luckily in Debs having coffee but we wore raincoats as we went in on the bus and rain was forecast and it was so hot and sticky out in the street, luckily it was cool in the shops as most have air con these days. Then the sun came out and it is even hotter, we were glad to get home after a sticky bus ride. We did have lunch in Wetherspoons with a glass of wine, gosh it was crowded, and one of the servers poor girl fell down the last of a flight of stairs carrying a pile of crockery, that woke us up. She was shocked but got up after a while holding an ice pack on her wrist so hopefully was not too badly hurt. They will rush around and pile up the plates too high, I guess they are under pressure but nobody has told them 'more haste, less speed'! :-D

sure you weren't in a Greek Taverna? :-D

Wilting in the muggy heat here in the south east near Channel coast.

Literally a few spots of rain about 8am, but stopped within a minute or two.

High humidity, so not comfortable.

Getting like Brigadoon here. :-|

Hi All, well we had another session of it early afternoon, and just heared on the local news that we could be in for some more, which would not suprise me at all, as I do not feel it is any cooler.
I had to laugh to myself though.And ,yes I know I shouldn't. Just after we had the one this morning, there was a phone call into the local radio station from a man who lives in the next little township from me.
Apparently they mowed the grasses on the nearby estate, Council that is, not his Lordship's, and as usual had not removed the clippings. Well the rain swept the clippings into the drains, blocking them, and resulting in peoples gardens being flooded.
Typical council mentality, I say. It is not as if it wasn't well forecasted.

still hot and humid in kent

Who turned the lights off? soo dark here ...thunder & lightning again

and it's teeming down :-(....blumming flaming June!!

Mau - I live about 30 miles north of you - thunder and lighning here too - when you said turn the lights off I thought you must have had the power cut we did as one lightning happened but of couse you wouldn't have electricity for the computer - second thoughts, perhaps you use a well-charged laptop or something

We've had sunny spells at times and also overcast and humid. Has looked like it was going to rain a few times but nothing came of it here in Bedfordshire

Still blue skies and hot here in London....another sweaty night ;-) <3

Blue skies here (Staffordshire) you can't even tell its been raining. Earlier it got so dark the street lamps came on. And rained like a monsoon

Andy

*reporting in.....and we've got blue sunny skies again lol No we've not had a power cut Elizabeth I was just joshing ;-) as it appeared as though the lights had been turned off. Sadly storms have caused a lot of trouble nationwide!

Good weather for Wimbledon BC? be careful you don't slip out of bed ;-) <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Serious flooding in lots of our local areas,with cars submerged and roundabouts under water.

YTube has terrific but scary footage of lightning striking the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.

Good Morning to all Our Friends in the North East
Having seen on the telly this morning of what has been happening in your area with the weather yesterday, I would like to extend my total sympathies.

Take Care of Yourselves.

PS. Thinking of you

It rained overnight here but now it is a fresh, breezy sunny morning, much better than the humidity of yesterday.
