We had a short sharp thunderstorm at around 9 pm last night. Nothing since, and the Tyne Valley is basking in glorious sunshine and a temperature of 23°c. There are some clouds, but it doesn't look like rain. We have a yellow warning for thunderstorms from 4 pm so we'll see.

It is raining here in the NE, I suspect it is passing over to the sea just a few miles away. The sky is a funny colour but no thunder yet.

We had heavy rain around 4am in Cambridgeshire. Our hot, dry garden is now steaming. grin

Hot night had yellow warning for thunder so far zilch.

Forecast another hot day today with still chance of thunder, then a cooler weekend with 6mms of rain promised for Sunday.
The day we have a house full of children!.
Hot weather supposedly returns end of next week.sunshine

In 20 mins we have a 50% chance of rain.
We are in the sunny garden drinking coffee ready to run?‍♀️
I’ve just emptied the last of the water in the buts so make the most of the free water that’s about to arrive. Please!

53 days with no rain here and still nothing promised for this evening We ll see !

Not had any here in this bit of Northants. Sun has cone out, so I went out 5 mins ago to remove the cover I had put over my outdoor tomato plants last night. Fiddly job, but worth doing if it helps keep blight at bay.
Now I have just checked the Met Office ap., and apparently there's a 90% chance here of a storm RIGHT NOW. Doh!

We had a terrific thunderstorm last night, but very little rain. It is still rumbling around this morning, but seems to be moving away now and the skies are clearing.
