26.c shade-side of the building. Went from hot and blue sky to a few cauliflowers appearing to the south-west...to clouding over in 20 minutes. Waiting to see what happens next...

[Dami]

Any flash flooding in those 35minutes?

[Crepuscular Ray]

It's definitely nowhere near this bit of London. Pity, as it's too humid for my liking.

[HammerJack]

A very warm / humid still evening here. The sun has been kind to my location today.

[Captain Shortwave]

Very warm and sunny from about 10am this morning, cracker of a day. Must have got close to the mid-twenties.

[Woollymummy]

Still no storm but I took all the washing in just in case those massive clouds break. No rain in Oxford.

[lassie23]

Clear skies here, a little misty, 18c still!

[stun12]

Lovely here too, with a high of 23.5c and decent sunshine once the mist cleared. It felt quite humid though and a storm would be nice (sorry, Thunderbuddy). Still 18.2 now and it's been dark for three hours already. I'm really beginning to notice the days drawing in - it's light when I get up at 6.30, but it feels like Dawn. As she's not my wife, I'm worried.

Hi Snowlady, just got lightning here! Want to swap!

[Calrissian]

oh noes, thunder... and the TV (via Sat' dish) already offline.

[lassie23]

Your storm has arrived here!

It would seem a great many are going to be woken up across the next hour or two.

 

Fierce storm line headed north..few will escape this (surprising) September overnight storm.

[lassie23]

Loud thunder and lots of lightning, but where is the rain!

[SMU]

Torrential rain, thunder & lightning here at greenhithe

Again !!!

[Calrissian]

re: where is the rain?

 

I'd think the blast wave of flood-rains should be there in NW London by now. What traffic is out there now....its all 10mph

The rain has arrived and it is torrential!

[Calrissian]

Looking at the radar...looks (at least to me) that the storm line is more cohesive...rains should last a good hour.

 

*even the political media maniacs on BBC TV, are acknowledging the ongoing storm... as the vote count continues.
