Weve had a good few strikes down in Wales but looks like the north east of England is having a good show.

Yup spectacular show lotsa fork lightening and loud thunder the sky is green and when the lightening flashes it turns purple.

We've been having a great thunderstorm with great lightening for the last two hours.

Aye there's one over turbo towers right now, bit tame but just as well as t-storms and mrs tb don't get on well, in which case Marriage Rule One applies and I'm to blame (same old)

On the blower about an hour ago to a bloke in Yorkshire who broke off mid sentence to ask "**** me, am I in New Orleans?"

It's like midnight here. Rain is hammering down and a bit of thunder & lightning.

Gusty wind too.

We've had a fair bit in Brissle, but no thunder to speak of. Typically I get home just as it's stopping, so I didn't get a good look

[staceyb]

Its calming down here now just the odd rumble and flash and mosta the rain/hail has stopped now.

Still didn't stop us barbieing.

Hot and humid with thunder & sheet lightning down here in Hampshire.

Twas bad here before. Very dark and sheet lightening, coupled with very heavy rainfall. Apparently there are quite a few flooded roads, but it seems the worst has passed now (sorry i'm a bit late on this thread...)

Nothing in Sussex as yet. I love thunderstorms!

It has been horrible here, due to the sudden change in the weather it took me 90 mins to do a journey that normally takes 20. Rain so heavy that I couldn't see through the windscreen, several trees blown down and water streaming down the roads. However, the sky was a beautiful orange/pink colour once it all finished. Very very weird weather, it was gloriously hot only an hour before.

Bring it on. It's a bit too warm around here tonight.

We've been having an absolutely belting storm here in Scarborough for the last hour, the sky is being lit up every 3 or 4 seconds on average, it's without doubt one of the best storms I've ever seen.
