After the sun, the rain
After the rain . . . The thunder and lightning, right over head. āš”ļøāš”ļøwoke us all 🐾🐾up at 06.50.
What’s the weather like near you?

Brilliant sunshine, blue skies. A warmish night - no sign of any rain.

Kent coast.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 28-May-26 08:18:46

Same as ferry but hopefully not quite so hot today.

Oreo Thu 28-May-26 08:33:12

I wish!
I don’t think we’ll get rain for another week. Scorchio again today.

LadyGracie Thu 28-May-26 08:57:38

We were promised rain here in South Wales yesterday but it veered off in a different direction, so another hot day.

Jaxjacky Thu 28-May-26 09:16:00

No rain here in South Hampshire, apparently there was an electrical storm overnight, no thunder or rain, 27 due today.

Our thunderstorm was about 2:30 am, very loud, very, very close , in fact overhead but mercifully short.
It is a long time since I have heard lightening actually sizzle and simultaneously the thunder cracking, I thought something must have been struck.
It then rained but I don’t know for how long.
It is fresh this morning but temperature likely to rise again.

Wonderful lightning display in the early hours of this morning but no thunder or rain. Already hot at 23 degrees.
One forecast says rain is due, another says none for us. So we wait and see. Just hope it cools down tonight, the last two nights have been terrible.
Dorset.

Back up to 30 again today and no cooling breeze like we had yesterday. Badly need rain, but no sign at all. London.

JaneJudge Thu 28-May-26 09:21:53

we had a massive storm for most the morning yesterday, temperature dropped and then BOOM absolutely boiling again!

Charleygirl5 Thu 28-May-26 09:25:06

No sign of threatened storms and T to rise to early 30's again. London.

blue14 Thu 28-May-26 09:36:05

Hot, dry and dusty with no sign of rain although for the past few days possible thunder storms have been forecast in the south east!

The much needed rain would certainly freshen the atmosphere up around here.

TheWeirdoAgain60 Thu 28-May-26 09:36:54

As I left work about 4 yesterday, the clouds were really thick and dark, and it was still humid. About 10 past midnight, I saw faint lightning from miles away, then it rained during the night.

I left home for work about 7 this morning, and it was pouring down! Still a bit humid, but the rain is gorgeous!

Loud thunder crack and torrential rain with hail stones near Bath early on Tuesday night. Getting in from the garden both the dog and I got absolutely soaked. I had to change my clothes.

We had a cold dry April and first half of May but no rain for the past 10 days and, of course, a week’s heatwave.
We rarely get thunderstorms here. There can be violent storms and deluges of rain close by but they miss our town. Long ago many settlements on our downland were abandoned because of a lack of water.
So, no rain last night and none forecast for another week.

Cossy Thu 28-May-26 12:20:31

Here in Essex no thunder, though we were told there would be!!

Sunny, but not stifling hot and lovely see breeze, though not as lovely as yesterday

TerriBull Thu 28-May-26 12:36:30

Still sunny, a bit cooler. GD is with us for a few days, so we're taking off to a cafe on the coast, half an hour away, so I hope the weather doesn't break. It can do that tomorrow, apparently I have to take her to see the Michael Jackson biopic at The Everyman. It seems a younger generation have discovered him shock

TerriBull Thu 28-May-26 12:41:25

I'm Surrey/Sussex borders forgot to mention that.

Fallingstar Thu 28-May-26 12:48:03

Still sizzling in London, a bit more cloud but no rain for another couple of days.

Luckygirl3 Thu 28-May-26 13:14:23

No rain forecast for today, but there has just been a snap light shower. I am so hoping that is it as I am supposed to be going to sit by the river with my DD later - fingers crossed!

NonnaW Thu 28-May-26 13:24:58

Here in Cambridgeshire we had a spectacular storm on Tuesday night at about 9.30pm. Cooler yesterday, also this morning (needed a sweatshirt this morning at 6.30 for dog walk), but temperature rising again. We has a very short light shower this morning.

JamesandJon33 Thu 28-May-26 16:09:57

Thunder storm last evening but a quiet night. Warm today with a slight breeze. We are in S W Wales.

BlueBelle Thu 28-May-26 16:11:27

Suffolk Still hot and sunny and beautiful
No storms

Mollygo Fri 29-May-26 10:42:08

Today, cool and sunny. Great for walking the dog early. The BBC offered rain around 11am, and the clouds are certainly gathering.

Nannan2 Fri 29-May-26 13:43:15
