Probably a few in Australia! 

[Darkcloud]

One flash of lightening and a couple of distant rumbles here half an hour ago but skies cleared now and still not a drop of rain!!

Have a feeling we're largely going to miss out on showers here in east sussex...hope I'm wrong.

[Nath]

Torrential rain and 1st rumble of thunder.   This storm has literally formed in NW London, in the last 30 mins out of nothing.  Mother nature is amazing !!

Heavy rain here woohooo although the sky looks like something out of twister

It was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like it before in my 49 years!  Lol on wasted watering of garden!

[Dami]

I'm missing it all, but can see the clouds from those showers.

Bedford doing me proud.

I was getting worried as the clouds started rotating over my house, thought we were going to have a tornado direct hit.

Got deep large cracks in my garden, anyone else cracking up in the heat?

Don't we all?

Oh wait....

[SMU]

Black skies as I look out towards London..

[Lauren]

Those showers T Wells area have burnt out. Looks like another dry day for us.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Looks like I jinxed it.. 

Some meaty showers have formed in the region flooding in Crawley.. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Another dull morning but at least it broke up quicker today with a sunny afternoon. A high of 25c.

[Rollo]

Heavy rain thunder and lightning in Kilburn for over an hour.

[Lauren]

Can see the London rainclouds from here.

Does anyone know when the last time it rained in north kent? I'm thinking it was late May?

30th May was last measurable rain here in Locksbottom!!-44 days ago.

[SMU]

Chances are rapidly fading for any rain here in Kent -

The long wait goes on..

Weekend is hot hot hot...

[lassie23]

had a good watering tonight

[clark3r]

Wondering if the 2nd half of summer is going to be a washout or if we are just going to get a blip next week. Been an amazing spell of weather. A little bit of rain next week will be nice then a return to fine hot weather 

[Norfolk Sheep]

This evening is probably going to be the first and only evening so far this summer when an evening meal outside has been possible - it's always been chilly by 6pm and windy (let's guess the wind direction...) 

[stainesbloke]

Am camping this weekend near Wallingford, Oxfordshire, the weather is beautiful. Currently 24C with good sunny spells and a generally light wind from the SSW, though there have been a couple of strangely strong gusts.
