It has been really hot and sunny here in Bournemouth today. It is now very cloudy and the wind has picked up quite a lot, it really looks like it is going rain. Still very warm though.
Have just had the biggest clap of thunder and the most vivid flash of lightening I have ever seen,, I've escaped this all day and now it comes, torrential rain and some coming straight down OMG never ever seen rain like this before, just lost sky as well Ho Hum.
took my sister who is over from miami-to a garden centre-on the way back the sky turned black,forked lightning,thunder,had to pull over,hailstones the size of golfballs hit thecar;it sounded like bricks!got back to mums,her conservatory's flooded,my dad had just put out his bedding plants after leaving it late because of the weather..all have been stripped.ive never seen hail like it.and my sister hasnt,and she went thru hurricane andrew!!!gin and tonic for me hic!!
Dramatic video and dramatic pictures! I saw on the news that there have been many flash floods.
We have had lots of cloud with good sunny intervals - but it's been so humid that it's been almost unbearable. But in view of others' experiences, I reckon we got off lightly!
"Oh dear" Rain, ten miles south that is you got it, ten miles north and up to Newcastle got it, we got a short sharp shower. It was horrendous up there with flash floods and landslides causing chaos. I never even heard your thunder, a bit of a day all round.
Teesside, my side, some blue sky and sunshine, surrounded by cloud which looks a bit like a witches cauldron over "Rain". Not good a few miles north of us though, road and rail lines cut off, schools closed and power off. They say a once in a hundred years storm? they are wrong, we had the great darkness at noon way back in the 1980's if I remember right.

Hope you all manage to mop up and dry out!
Sorry to hear some of you have had some awful weather.
