    Thunder here in Westcombe Park, starting to rain. Lots of blue sky.

    We are in Westcombe Park too! Think it’s passed because I watered the garden

    Nothing going on in Imperial Dynasty in West Malling

    I’m trying Afka’s trick and hoping for a lock in but appear to be out of luck

    If the weather won’t oblige you can always wedge a table and chairs against the door!

    It was a lovely Bank Holiday Monday in Eltham North despite all forecasters predicting heavy showers. A little bit of thunder rumbling in the distance but that was all.

    Thunderstorm didn't happen in the end, but I took this photo of the wedding venue from the opposite side of the river - Chateau de Beynac

    What a dump. Not even a sniff of a bar in that picture.

    What’s your best interpretation @Hex for SE London out to North Kent today mate?


    Tonbridge for mini golf or Bedgebury Pinetum for is I think. Waterproofs in the faraday-cage-on-wheels to be safe
    are mini golf clubs less dangerous in a storm than normal ones?
    If there is a storm, do you stick them out of the car window or keep them inside?
    If I've locked my wife in a Faraday cage, how long should I keep her there?

    I'm very confused...

    Pbs, did you get home ?
    Only hour and a half delay due to the knock on effect of the lightening striking the fueling equipment at Stansted.
    Was worrying as the first thing the pilot said was about storms over the south east but not to worry as we had extra fuel on board in case we have to divert.
    As it turned out, it was one of the smoothest flights I’ve been on and saw a stunning lightning show over north London as we approached Stansted.

    Were the BBC weather 'experts' having a bit of a giggle when they forecast pretty fine weather over London & surrounding today, Weds and Thursday at only 19:00 yesterday?

    Now all 3 days have turned to shyte!

    Yeah, opened all the windows to cool the house down and let the sunshine in and it started to rain.

    As forecast.

    The remnants of yesterdays storms over France are moving west over us now (almost gone) BUT now new storms are breaking out over Kent.

    Crazy rain in Maidstone at the moment.

    Lightning nearby caused our fire alarm to go off at work. We all went outside and stood under a tree.

    Currently sat on the tarmac at Malaga airport. One hour so far and just been told we’ve now got another 2 hour wait due to deteriorating weather over there?? Dull. Is there actually storms now?

    We've had thunder, lightning and torrential rain all morning in Kent. Our courtyard at work looks like a lake. I haven't seen rain like this for a long time.

    Left later to drive in today. Very hairy on the M2, A2 and M25 with torrential rain and spray, interspersed with lightning and thunder, then as if by magic hit the A20 at J 3 of the M 25 and visibility much better with just a bit of drizzle to contend with.

    Landslide at Stansted now halted all flights.

    I just hope that tornado doesn't touch down anywhere near Heathrow.

    Looks like your stuck playing eye spy out of the plane window for the next few hours @Curb_It

    Just had the most hair-raising drive back from Larkfield. Not seen rain like it for years. Pulled into a little road before going on M20 to ‘let it pass’ as almost zero visibility and within 5 minutes we were almost parked in a river! Was torrential the whole drive back, huge puddles on M20. 40mph max back the whole way, Bar the odd pathetic foreign lorry / German coach smashing down the outside lane at 70mph :-(
