    It was an amazing storm. Very beautiful. We stood at the back door and watched it. The rain was very heavy and it was literally overhead. Storms make me feel so alive !!

    I'm in Tottenham, north London and the thunder woke me up at around 2.20am in the morning, it was an awesome storm. One of the cats I was looking after went into hiding and the other cat was sleeping on her bed by the back door and couldn't have cared less. There was a lot of thunder and the rain was really heavy.

    We were staying at the Chessington World of Adventures hotel last night and the thunder legitimately woke me out of my sleep and frightened the bejeezes out of me, I thought the ceiling was crashing in or something lol. Ive never heard or felt thunder that strong in all my life.

      ​@andycurrall6861 my wife is convinced some lightning struck the hotel electrics as the fridge had a soft light on throughout the night and she said it went off and made a really funny noise in the height of the storm.
      Yeah it was so weird, didn't help that it was actually lovely and sunny for the most part in the park this morning lol

      I was cat/house sitting in Tottenham, one cat went into hiding and the other cat was sleeping on her bed by the back door that looks on to the garden. Thunder woke me up around 2.20 in the morning. I hadn't been asleep long as I had been tracking the storm on my lightning app before bed. It had also been very warm and humid and everything was very still. I remember thinking we're definitely going to get a storm and I wasn't disappointed.

      I live in Billericay and we just got the edge of this storm. I heard just one rumble of thunder but our son said there was lots of lightning from the south west (over towards London) so London copped it big time. Hubby could see the lightning from our living room window but I couldn't see it from where I was sitting.

    I live in Walthamstow and the thunder woke me up about 2.20 am, no idea what time it actually started so I imagine I slept through the beginning of it. Lay listening till about ten past 3 as the rain stopped and the thunder faded away. Good job I didn't have to go to work until Monday morning! 😂

    Harrow, 02:20 to 2:50 a few rumblings and flashes and one significant almighty near ssynchronous flash and bang and about five minutes of moderate rain and that was it. A bit damp squib-ish.
    Thunder storms are a rare event now in this part of London . . . . Air movement is virtually non-existent today . . .compared to the blow-ups of old.
    This one was nothing to match the frequency and duration of Summer evening storms of the early to mid 1970s or those of my childhood in the late 1950s and early 1960s that used to bang and crash for hours on end and which, on occasion, flooded the back garden. Nowadays, stormy weather oncoming from the Atlantic Ocean in the West rarely makes it unmolested to the Eastern part of the country. . . it gets as far east as Lyme Bay Dorset and then is forced due North by the endless high pressure weather systems edging out from the continent.
