It was a dark and stormy night…

We had thunderstorms in our part of East Anglia, I'm in the fens. More due late evening. For the first time our dog didn't wake up, I'm sleeping downstairs with him. I think he is loosing his hearing.
This will help when the fire works arrive as he is terrified them.
As Maw says, it is now more like a fortnight.

Hope the rain will arrive here in Germany soon . We haven’t had any rain for months !

Huge heavy rain here last evening, in south Dartmoor.
Thunderstorms are forecast for later, and tomorrow.
I don't like it, but we need it.

I don't know if I slept deeply last night, but apart from two rumbles of thunder, I was completely unaware.

Looking at Facebook this morning, on a Chilterns weather forecasting page, there was a real humdinger of a storm.

We are right on the edge of their area, and quite often miss the weather they forecast. Pity, because I love a good storm.

Lots of rain here in Bedfordshire and DH says there was some thunder but both GS and I slept through it all. Water butts are full.
Hope everyone gets some rain soon.

We had plenty of rain here in Northumberland, but I didn't hear any thunder. I will consult with DH when he comes back from shopping, I'm sure he would have mentioned it if he'd heard any as he doesn't like thunderstorms.

FannyCornforth I’m astonished that I wasn’t woken by any storm and I did have the windows wide open, was it “local weather for local people”? The dog here was fine- on her armchair flat on her back snoring away….. Very lovely and fresh out there this morning though.

Heavy rain and a flash of lightening in the distance about 3 am in the West Wickham, Kent area. Lasted a short while.

Grandmaderby I’m amazed that you slept through it too!
Mind you, DH did too , and his curtains were wide open.

Expecting a storm tonight in East Cheshire - our daughter's 'sensitive' Golden Retriever staying with us until Wednesday wont leave our side anyway let alone a storm or fireworks - roll on Wednesday.

Heavy, welcome rain, thunder and lightning in Oxford, just after midnight last night.

Please send us some rain!
It was dark all day yesterday and we had a couple of dribbles but only enough to dampen the surface.

I’d love a good storm! I too am fortunate to have a fearless dog - in fact I’ve only had one GSD who was afraid of thunder. She would come to me for a cuddle, on my lap, which was bliss. She was a lovely rescue who had been beaten. A wonderful and loving girl.

We had rain overnight and a bit more today but we rarely have thunder and lightning. One of my cats was most indignant, he’s never felt rain before as they are indoor cats who now have a Catio and can go outside whilst staying safe.

We had overnight rain, but I`m not sure how heavy, or if we had thunder.

My D who lives in W Sussex said they had a very bad storm.
Their glass topped garden table was blown over and it took her an hour to sweep up the thousands of tiny squares of safety glass littering the patio.

Aldom I live about 5 miles out of Oxford and from around 1.00am we had a lot of sheet lightning and rain but no thunder...

Rain yesterday. Rain early this morning, but then it’s been sunny all day. I’m wondering how our dog will cope with fireworks. Last year she didn’t mind.

Just had a deluge. Quite biblical. Torrents of rain, thunder ,lightening. Gutters were overflowing.

Just had the same in South Wales.

fairfraise we are in South Wales. Just had another deluge ???????

Had lots of thunder and lightening last night about midnight but not much rain. I was counting the seconds between the thunder and the lightening flashes, it must have gone right over us. Expecting more tonight.

Had a few massive flashes of lightning a rumbles of thunder and now it is torrential rain. Bristol area

Hurray at last!

Yes, we had some lightning, thunder and a downpour earlier.

Alleluia!

It’s so noisy here I’ve put the sub titles on the telly.
