The Weather

A very stereotypical British thread. 
 

The weather. 
 

We got woken up by a thunderstorm here in North West Leicestershire! Anyone else? 

[ithuriel]

Torrential rain for a short time, no thunder.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Working in Leicester and saw/heard quite a bit of thunder and lightning as the rain hammered down.

Woken up in Northants by what I think was the loudest thunder clap I've ever heard.  Storm was right over us and pretty intense at times, accompanied by torrential rain, but it passed through quite quickly.

NWL here.

 

Went to bed late at 2am-ish, and can confirm there was indeed a large thunderstorm.

Thunderbolt and lightning  very very frightening  in Thurnby last night.

Some excitement last night. Watched the lightning as the kids woke up to it. Some of it quite impressive overlooking LFE. 
 

Always like a good storm. Would prefer not in the middle of the night. 

[Wolfox]

Our bedroom is in the loft…. Thundering down… 

 

I love rhe sound of the rain…!

Typhoon hitting the lower half of the country here.

 

Lucky enough to be a bit further north but still pretty rainy and windy.

[Sir Shep]

I'm in Wiltshire and its glorious sunshine, for now.

That's our area. Didn't hear a thing, nor did Mrs FFF and she can hear a spider running across the carpet usually.

I have sounded the GET THE WASHING OUT ON THE LINE klaxxon.

Absolutely lashed it down over goscote. Woke me and the wife up. She got up to close the window and opened the curtains at exactly the same time the brightest lightening I have even seen decided to light up the house.

 

Followed by one of the loudest claps of thunder I've heard.

 

Luckily as I don't have much time for mother nature. I hate not having some control it blew over quickly. But the rain must have lasted 45 mins and completely ruined the fact I needed to get up for work after 14 weeks off

All left a bit of a mess.

[Sly]

It’s too hot. 
 

I need to sleep. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Must've gone through a couple of litres of water drinking at work today. Would've drank more if I could.

 

 

Thanks Royal Mail for making our working hours later in the day, so that we work through the hottest time of day.

[StanSP]

Can confirm it's hot.

big dilemma in this weather, work at home and melt or go in the office which has air con! 

 

 

 

[Bazly]

It rained last night and my car could camouflage nicely in the Sahara.  Its had lots of birds landing on it today which it doesn't normally get so it must look like a sand pit oasis from the sky.

Presume you will also go back to the office when it gets cold so you don't have to turn your heating on?!
