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!

[Bogman]

Do none of you lot sleep?

 

Woken @ 4.30am for a bonus storm.

 

Three flashes and a few rumbles, nice surprise that. 20 degrees and a tad, "meh" at the moment.

[Dami]

nothing thunder like here just a passing shower.  Quite cloudy. nothing heading my way on the radar. Whatever got the storms i asked for, even if the weather lord forgot about Bedford.

[lassie23]

Don't think so, the rain was so loud though so.I was all panicking watching the radar but there was only a couple of strikes showing upon the rain that passed over me

Hi thunderbuddy! Glad to hear you missed them, as there were some pretty violent storms around last night!

I'm surprised you just got a passing shower only, from the radar there was loads of red with your name on it! Must have taken a last minute detour!

[Neilsouth]

No thunder over Herne Bay or Canterbury, I was up till 1.30am

It rained a fair bit.. i was awake and heard it starting, i expect if it was storm like we got the edge or it broke up in two when it reached here, which happens a lot. In fact radar is showing nothing here at all atm, but when I took bubs to school it's raining quite heavy spots. So thundery rain. rejoice \o/

[JMTD]

At the rate it's going you may as well put a bet on us getting storms on Christmas day. Dream of the time we get a week without a forecast of storms.

[ThunderBuddy21]

Hmm I'm glad that they missed me last night.but I wonder if I'll be so lucky today /tonight

It does feel like it' weekly this year, always for Thursday Friday and Saturday too, dreading next summer already

[lassie23]

It's dry sunny and warm here at the moment 23c! Snowstorms would be nice this winter, but not for any chionophobiacs!

Feeling especially warm and humid in Essex today, sunny without a cloud in the sky all day though getting increasingly hazy. Hard to believe it's coming up to the last week of September, could easily mistake it for mid July at the moment

[Meggy]

Wow wow wow. What a storm here last night. Torrential rain, which i thought at one minute was going to break our windows :-) the thunder though is the most intense I have heard in years.

Bright morning here, but feels very sultry, with a very fine mist in the air.

Yes - the blue lightning was pretty vivid too! We had a powercut for a few seconds. We had to reset all the clocks this morning. round 2 later perhaps?

Yes we had a powercut too. Fingers crossed for a repeat tonight.

Just had a liquid lunch, and sitting in that beer garden it felt like high summer.

[Norfolk Sheep]

The sun has made a brave and gallant effort, warming up nicely now. Time to lay some more paving

[nicol@]

Lightning radar map shows strikes nearby, but all I see is grey sky.

*sulky face*

[BB1979]

Central London about to vanish underwater. Torrential downpour

[anything-but]

Dry in vauxhall. Can't see the city from here tho.

[Methuselah]

A very warm, and incredibly sticky, 26!

[Bogman]

Thunder here at Potters Bar.

[Neilsouth]

Sea Fog!

[Steve C]

Stuff firing northwest of Ipswich. Could be interesting for east Suffolk / Norfolk soon.

[Wet'n'Dry]

Clouds building just to my north, they seem to have appeared from nowhere, could be interesting for North Essex perhaps Suffolk later.

[Jax]

Afternoon

 

No storms here, some light rain first thing at daybreak but nothing much, did have a short heavy shower midday'ish, sun trying its hand now, very warm still.
