Good people of Britain...........PANIC

[EpsomWolf]

Still raining but the very loud thunder moving into the distance now. As heavy as it was for a while it still felt as though we were only on the edge of that.

You sense as though some areas are going to cop a right load of that later. Wherever that might be would do very well to batten down the hatches.

 

[BillyDee]

Only a light sprinkling atm, thunder in the distance but a nice breeze and dropped down to about 22.

. We might get some action here later.

Popworld reopening in Wolverhampton?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Haha no! Just looked at the bubbling cloud and it has fuck all organisation at the moment. Need to see what convection does over the next couple of hours.

Could be a fun afternoon for this map - https://www.lightningmaps.org/

Just had a few rumbles in Nottingham

Blitzortung.org is the best.

If only we had a member from that neck of the woods to warn us in advance?

Woo-hoo, hammering down. Thunder too. Looks like it might be short and sharp as still very muggy. Everything smells funny. Reminds me of being about ten. I loved that.

Ha yes, my house is right in the middle of that. Feels like it’s moving N.E. now but you know how it is trying work out where the sound of distant thunder is.

Wouldn’t want to be out walking the dog sheltering under a tree or out on a golf course this afternoon that is for sure.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s all very slow moving so you might get very damp in Cambridge.

Don't trust anecdotal data Sniffer - CambridgeWolf could have been lying!!

Best smell in the world, that smell and feeling after 8 months of dry season when I lived in Zambia is the best in the world.

Petrichor!

Edit; beaten to it.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Ha, nooo, it’d have to be worthwhile to do that, I keep those as an emergency get out of jail for the wife. Oh, and when denying any knowledge if someone ever says, “Didn’t you say you thought Tongo Doumbia would become a legend at this club?”.

 

[Doctor Doog]

On the other hand, I'm just at the northern end of that big circle over Cambridge, and we haven't had a drop. Lots of thunder since 2 pm though.

 

[BillyDee]

Brief respite from the thunderstorm, now unbearable again...

You’ve got to be getting some of that now surely?

I was about to get the barbie back out as the sun was shining again but the rain is bouncing off the road again now.

Still humid by the way, sorry to disappoint those clinging on to the thunder shifting this.

Edit: beat me to it!!

Change of tune here, properly monsoon rain and shifting the oppressive heat at last.

Stonking thunderstorm that has got flash flooding all over it.

If it heads your way strap yourselves in for an interesting night.
