    It doesn't know what to do this weather in Glasgow, pees it down for an hour, then the sun breaks out for an hour, then grey horribleness and clammy sweaty yuck.. My raincoat smells...urrgh need a shower, my showerhead is broken.. Hopefully kids sort the sleeping out and I can have a cool bath later, been soaked and dried off too much today, yuck!

    Thunderstorm here at the moment (Leyland). Funnily enough the sun is shining looking out of the windows on one side of the building and dark, very dark side on the other.


    You must have sent that to me earlier...I got caught in one whilst out with the dog...it came from over Leyland way.

    Fine, but threatening here right now.

    Hi SB,

    That was a cracker and a hail storm with it, never seen so much hail come down like that, it looked like sea foam floating on all the water!

    Had a big storm at 5:30. Luckily Sky only went down for a minute or so.

    Didn't see any lightning though

    Don 't know if it's been mentioned but 6 people died in German thunderstorms the other day.


    I don't mind a storm, unless it knock out Sky, but I wouldn't want it that bad.

    Watch out for widespread violent thunderstorms late Friday onwards.

    Anywhere could be affected.

    This is an excellent website for tracking lightning strikes in real time as they happen, and if the storms over Friday & Saturday are as big as being suggested then this should be a really fine way of following them.

    I've just heard some distant thunder and it's across southern England: http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en&page_0=12

    Unfortunately, there's no cooling rain as yet.

    Edit - the rain's just started - yay! :) 12.47

    Sat in bed (north Bristol) watching tendrels of lightning stretch across the skies. It's incessant. A fork about every 5-10 seconds. Strangely, there's not that much noise!
