The 2016 summer and thunder thread
Discussion
Lincolnshire has been thundery and wet for about three hours now.
We had some long spells of rumbling and very loud thunder.
We also had a monumental Florida style downpour earlier. Lasted about fifteen minutes and soaked everything.
Some of my plants are in greenhouses so will still need a water.

Absolutely terrible weather today. We had a massive thunderstorm that rained, and rained, and rained down on us. It didn't move for absolutely ages and I have never seen our drive flood like it did today. At one point, I was getting concerned that the water was going to reach the house.
It was like a monsoon rain storm that just stayed above us. There was hardly any wind and it's the longest bout of persistent, heavy rain I've seen. The drive is just starting to look normal, although my car is still sitting in a massive puddle.
I live in Lincolnshire and I hope that is it for this weather for now. Glad it looks like the pressure is getting higher from tonight onwards.

Massive storms the other day over mk loved it.
The one yesterday kept setting my car alarm off. Thank fully I had parked in the visitors spot (naughty) and could turn it off from my desk.We have had more thunderstorms in the past week in MK than we have had the 10 years I have lived here. Love it. Still waiting for a power cut though.
Met Office yellow warning for potential thundery downpours in the SouthEast for Wed-Fri. Not sure I've seen a 3 day warning before!
