All over it seems for our location north of Portland, Dorset. Not a drop. Maybe another day next year for some proper summer thunderstorms coming across the Channel.

thunder in Guernsey but no rain

I saw that passing over Lower Stoke so probably nothing on the ground too.  I am still waiting for my date to move there as it was delayed for a short while so i am now staying in Letchworth area now and it quite a hot place here and very parched as well.  Showers did passed here but nothing coming down. 

There is a large and developing shower heading in the IOW direction. We are on its western fringe with some light rain.

Not a drop here. That could change in the next few hours.

Lasted about 10 minutes and pretty much evaporated on contact with the ground. Enough to create a smell of petrichor that was about it. 

The sky is quite leaden around abouts though so this evening could prove interesting. 

Just 1 or 2 drops here; heavy rain above but evaporating before hitting the ground. Some impressive altocumulonimbus clouds; cloud bases must be approx 15,000 feet (4572 m).

Things could change a lot later, perhaps with lower cloud bases bringing heavy rain and thunder (but still Ac Cb clouds).

Flying ants are now flying away. They must be sensing rain coming as their nests would be flooded.

Folkestone rain deflector still in good working order at the moment with rain passing to my south and to my north, only getting 1.0 mm so far. Going to need a LOT more than that to revive my lawn.

Yet another debacle here. A grand total so far today of 0.0mm rain. 

Massive damp squib. All the more surprising as yesterday afternoon it looked like the sky was ready to burst.

Still I won't complain I've had luck to be in the right places and right times for serious thundery weather this summer. 

Storm just passed through, looked worse to the north of my location.  2.6mm took day's total to 11.0mm.

Just checked the radar to see if anything is near to me and was struck by the impressive line of storms marching through Germany and extending up to Denmark - put's our little line of showers to shame!

Edit: Just being clipped by a shower now, can see a storm off to our North West with lightning flickering on the horizon

Spectacular lightning  display for those in the London area. I saw it developing overhead and it must be hammering down in Kent now

Arrived home to see some flickers of lightning in the Channel. 

Anything the UK has had looks quite trivial by comparison

Yes we have a thunderstorm going on here. Hardly any rain so far though, only 0.7mm on the rain gauge.

(The cat is terrified)

Meanwhile down here in the SE, there are some potent showers (40mm an hour rainfall rate) but as yet they're generally not electrified. I daresay they will be soon though!
