  That was pretty nasty. Not only thunder and lightning but the torrential rain was being driven by gale force winds. Mopping up right now >:(

  I'd say the clue was in the word "underground"

  Rain should reach parts of it soon, anywhere from Brighton westwards. Hit and miss who gets actual thunderstorms though.

  If it does, it's unlikely to be the pressure drop, which is unlikely to exceed a millibar or two.

  Maidenhead
  
  Big drops of rain falling earlier spaced feet apart. It was quite strange.
  
  Then about an hour ago the heavens opened.
