A long, low rumble of thunder after a very chilly, wet day.

That band really thinned but intensified as it past through the southeast. Did anybody get anything wintry as it passed through ?.
Yes, it was sleety when the band passed through about 8pm here - also had a 2 minute wintry shower when I was at Waterloo station at 3pm this afternoon.

Snowing at CO10, quite fast - and they haven't gritted the roads, so fun times tomorrow.
Where's the radar on here now?

I can't see that the wind will take showers very far inland at all - the MO have the current NNE direction gradually turning more NNW'erly overnight. So maybe any showers skimming the far east of Kent at best for a while?

Was this the event that came in on a Sunday Night? If so I remember it well, The flakes were huge and everything turned white in minutes round here, Didn't go to work on the Monday
..Also about two weeks later I think I was enjoying 17/18*c and was in shorts
Yes, well remembered! The temperture was quite high, hence the huge flakes. I stood at the window and watched the street disappear under a coating of white, although I'm sure I didn't get the Monday off! That was the latest I've ever seen snow.

I been mentioning that all Winter and I for one don't really get excited about Snow in spring ( hence my sig ). Yes snowfall can be deep, great and last a while in Spring, problem is by then I want to enjoy the longer days and early warmth of sunshine.
It snowed in April in 2006 and I agree, after 6 or 7 months of chiller weather, by that time I'm looking for a definite warm-up!
A beautifully white morning, coldest night for a few years. I noticed a small patch of snow at the end of my road leftover from Saturday night / Sun morning on a spot of grass that obviously never sees the sun.

Snowing lightly here but beginning to settle on cars.

looks like we could have an interesting evening , bbc weather is saying could be a lot of surface water about soon, plus the people in Kent /southend area should have a heads up very nasty ;line of heavy rain which could drop a lot of rain in a short time
Rain not too intense yet (in fact, it's just stopped and it's getting slightly brighter) but we've had two huge rumbles of thunder in the last 10 mins and it's really dark - unusual for this time of year.
-
Atd agrees ...very little CAPE showing from GFS though.
If I stayed in Biggin Hill I would have been under that, unfortunately moving SW away from here.
There was only one very loud crack of thunder after the sky went very dark, very quickly. The snow stopped pretty fast too and now the sun's trying to come out!
-
My first thunder snow experience (albeit that dreaded wet snow!).
-
I don't want it to snow. My dearest beloved mother is in hospital with heart failure not likely to make it. Snow will always have negative connotations for me.
Instead of being a joy, it will be e heart ache. Just not now.
I'm so sorry, thoughts are with you.x.

Sleeting in Orpington
Not here, it isn't?! Very dark, temp 5 degrees and dew point 1 degree.
Edit: Heavy rain / sleey mix now.
-
May head up to Biggin Hill (which rises to around 240m) this morning taking my 3 year old, surely that precip heading north will be snow up there ...
I'm close to Biggin Hill, very elevated, and if there's anything around, we usually benefit being on the edge of the North Downs but we've not had any snow - in fact, nothing since March 2013!
-
Very windy from abut 8pm last night but, as someone else noted, it wasn't as bad for us as the December 23rd 2013 storm. Hope everyone's roofs / trampolines / bins etc survived!

Well that was a brief blast from the past - really lovely to see some old friendly faces. I stayed well out of the last round of upheaval but I need to state my opinion now, especially since the regional has been so thin on the ground on many occasions over the past few months. I really don't see the reasoning for deleting posts when valued members dare to venture back. I'm a menber of another weather forum that is dying a death, so when people actually want to come on and post, allbeit with a smattering of humour and daily life, it should be embraced. Nobody has learnt anything - it's very sad.
Cloudy, 9 degrees.

Personally, I'm loving this weather - I'm seeing it as a bonus few weeks of not having to have the heating on constantly, of being able to get my washing dry without having to use the tumble dryer, without having to wear a coat - just a little respite before the winter truly sets in.
It seems to me that most wintry spells this time of year are usually fairly short lived, so I'd much rather take advantage of what we have now and wait for a better set-up later on. I love cold and snowy weather but would rather wait until Jan / Feb when it's more likely to give us something meaningful! Until then, Im just grateful it's not drizzly and miserable!
Slighty overcast but 16.5 degrees here already.

I can smell th rain from inside my house despite the windows being closed! WTF?
I could too a few hours ago!! I thought I was mistaken, so glad it's not just me, it was so strange!

Quite a lot of thunder about in the south apparently, no one heard any? Here it's just bight and breezy
Yes, we've had thunder on and off for a few hours now, with each cluster of showers. very, very windy too.

Any experts with a theory as to why last nights thunder sounded quite so angry? Clearly not just me as a few posts alluding to it. Storm was overheard yes but the thunder was easily the most intense I have experienced in a long time
It was totally the opposite for us - the intense lightning woke me up but the thunder never got louder than a distant rumble. And we're only a few miles away from each other!
-
After a short storm late this morning, we now have pretty constant but fairly distant rumbles of thunder every 20 seconds or so. I don't remember having had a summer of storms quite like this one.

Incessant rain all day, up to 10mm now. We had an enormous clap of thunder about 12, I checked the lightning radars and it appears to be the only strike in the uk today! Bizarre.Cabbie took me to orpington station in the deluge. The station is flooded, but cabbie said that the weather was beautiful around heathrow.
Yea, we had that one giant clap of thunder too at midday but it went on for so long, I convinced myself it wasn't thunder at all but building work somwhere.

It's only up to 15C - I've had the heating on for an hour! Persistant rain all day, heavy at times. Very miserable for July.
-
We had a loud rumble of thunder just before 10, a nice shower following that and since then the cloud has broken up to leave patches of very blue sky and sunny spells. Still a few more ominous clouds about though.
For some reason the temperature display on my weather station is on the blink which is very annoying but having just been outside, boy it's humid. Not pleasant at all.

Lights flickered twice here too - how strange that it's over such a large area.
