Never known of a thunderstorm like this in the UK. Continuous thunder!
Location would help Mols, as its Mighty fine in East London right now
I can feel it coming towards us, south Surrey. Where are you Molgrips?
Had something similar here in Ayrshire a couple of weeks back, a thunder storm that just sat overhead for about 5 or 6 hours, nice bit of flash flooding too. Came without warning too, didn't feel like a thundery day, I was out watering my pot plants a few minutes before it started, worrying they were going to dry out, half an hour later I was trying to stop them floating away
Hope Mol's one isn't heading in this direction, I've only just finished mopping out my workshop from the last one.
Clear and sunny in Suffolk.....peers out of window, debating whether to pack swimming trunks!
Dry in Bristol. Just about to leave for Shropshire to ride the batch burner.
big cluster. Just come over the People's Republic of Malvernisatan.
Not much rain, lots of noise.
Heading for Binners.
*peeks out of window! nowt but lovely early morning sunrise.

Lots of thunder and rain here in evesham, off to Malvernisatan to stand in a big tent for the day .
Just about to set out on the Tdf stage 1 route from Leeds, think we might be getting wet!
A bit grey at Hampton Court but dry, off to the steam railway in Kent today so hope it's not too bad..
beenz , what's on in a tent today?
Was. bright and sunny in the Peak District about 1 hr ago, now overcast
The weather, even yr.no, said it was going to hit about 11. So got up nice and early to go for a run.
It's now torrential rain and thundering at 7am 😡

Got caught out on the road bike in that storm, was lovely when I left the house, came up over Carrick hill from the east, and could see it coming in from the north. Tried to race it home, got less than 2 miles, no jacket, water running out my shoes.... 😀
It is dry here in Ayrshire at the mo, but looks very threatening.
Just started raining in Norwich. Would love a whopping great big storm!
Absolute monster thunderstorms in Taunton last night. We were going to take the kids camping but I'm not sure!
Just a bit cloudy in Rutland. The forecast is a bit of a worry as I shall be out walking 12 miles around villages.
Damp and grey in Surrey but not as bad as WF suggested last night. Fingers crosses as tennis/ride/tennis/grass cutting on the agenda. At least keep dry until item 4!!!!
I follow a guy on Facebook who runs a weather company. He's bloody accurate as a rule and somewhat of a "storm chaser" he's predicted violent storms all over the country for today moving in from sw and running up the length of the country. Just grey and dry here in deepest Derbyshire..
Absolutely tipping it down and lots of lightning here by Cannock Chase. The streetlights went off first thing but have come back on again, it's so dark!
I'm almost glad I'm spending the whole day inside, decorating. Almost.
Gorgeous here in Fort Bill. Don't know how long for though. I think it might be a little damp come race day.
Raining in East London, no thunder yet though..,
Weird, nice if a little overcast in west berks
Oh oh here goes. In the last 10 minutes it's gone very dark and I can definitely hear thunder in the distance.
Like Rob2, had storm come over in the wee hours and it's now wetter than an otter's pocket for daughter #2's sports day.
I follow a guy on Facebook who runs a weather company.
Can I order up a few days' sunshine, please?
Same here....and MASSIVE thunder.Quite glad I decided not to ride to work as I'd be 50 minutes in to a 90 minute commute.
Edit...North east welsh alps
Just had half hour of torrential rain and thunder/lightening outside birmingham.
Where are you, Rorschach and wrightyson?
Belper in Derbyshire. Hammering down now, thunder and lightening also. Glad I went out on the bike last night now, bar the dog incident!
Now heavy rain in Bakewell
drizzle in london
dissapointed astrapophile

It's moving North at a fair lick. Hit Stourbridge just over an hour ago, as mentioned at one point the thunder was continuous for a few minutes
It went over cardiff at 5am gone now. Like it never happened
Sun out now!
oooh just heard a rumble in london 🙂
Scorchio in the highlands but I'll take an anorak just in case.
Just arriving in the NW Peak District
It's getting steadily darker in sunny South Yorks,awaiting events,as I'm taking littlemissdingo to a treasure hunt in Dean Clough in about 90 mins.Will we die?????
At the 'notomorrow' festival in Nottingham later.
Expecting to get very wet
heading for france
I hear surrender is imminent.
Suns out now in Canary Wharf lads 8)
Should be interesting if we do get rain for the Nocturne in Smithfields later, thankfully my race is early 😀
