Brighter now and the temperature is slowly rising after dropping to 14.8°C. 

The garden looks awesome now the sun is back out. Everything is refreshed and green!

[Lyn-M]

Oooh, it's raining, just a little, not a lot!

[CheesepuffScott]

Looks like I'm in the path of a little blob, let's hope it doesn't divert like the last bloody 2..

View from my back garden . Faint rumbles according to my partner . I'm not convinced . Too far away .

Rain's past now, it gave 2.6mm with a maximum intensity of 19.8mm/hr. But very dark outside now as the clouds have now blocked off the sun!

[Mapantz]

It look's like it is about to piddle down again. I love days like this, warm and sunny, then a storm in the late afternoon. MOAR PLEASE!

[Leon1]

Woohoo! First rumble of the day. A good one too!

[Andy Bown]

Lively downpour and 9c drop in temperature in the last hour. Garden needed the water as did the water butts. Absolutely love the petricor smell.

[Bristawl Si]

Dark black sky to my East for last 90 mins or so but we've only had a few spots of rain here, about an hour ago. Thought we were going to cop one, but nope.

[MP-R]

Yes had the petrichor smell here too. Torrential downpour here now but no thunder.

[Ciderwithrosie]

Not that I expected it to , but , apart from a few lovely cloud formations it has been bone dry . 

Beautiful day though and I'm not complaining one bit . 

[Ciderwithrosie]

Famous last words , just start d to rain . Not too heavy though bridgewater has had a shower or three!

Yes we had that, is it a sort of a damp, seaside sort of weird smell?

[CheesepuffScott]

Was very surprised I didn’t get one drop today despite having dark clouds all round and reports of lightning just a few miles down the road . Better luck next time.

[Frosty hollows]

Didn't get one drop here either but 8 miles south was another matter...

[Zephyr]

Had a few rumbles floating around here at around 7pmish I think it was and a heavy down pour didn't see no lightning though but there will be other chances

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a double digit overnight low, and cloudy start to the morning, currently 12.3C. Will we be lucky enough for rinse & repeat of yesterday, I think not.

[Frosty hollows]

Peaked at 22.5 with hazy sunshine yesterday.  Overnight low of 8.2. Brighter already out there

[matt111]

Hazy earlier but now blue skies and warm with very little wind. 22.2°C. 

[Dorsetbred]

Warming nicely @ 23.4°C with a light breeze from the N.

[Nights King]

One steady shower last night to freshen things up and it really did drop temperature like a stone when shower came through.

Glorious weather continues, it is turning out to be a good 2018 so far with our snow fix albeit late into spring and now this.

Same here by the looks of it. You can always query it here...

The CAPE on Saturday looks nice if storms are your thing! Still a long way off though.

 

I also have the like and thanks no laughing or sad on posts.
