I'm glad there wasn't a thunderstorm as I was out riding.

We were short changed as well, I had to water our pots.

I was out riding as well. I even took my waterproof jacket! Wasted weight carried for miles!!
Lucky I didn't pop the sealskinz on as well

Yep, pots watered here too. And got the lawn mowed.

The Norwegians said no thunderstorms... they were right.
The BBC/Met office reports are cack.

Plenty in Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire today. As someone who was on an archaeological dig in a field, watching ground strike lightning only a few miles away (there were two hours of storms visible from where we were, passing north and south of us), it was a bit unsettling but we got away with 10 minutes rain.

[Edit] Lincolnshire currently having lots of storms.

We could hear the rumbles in the distance but no rain.

We had a stonking one in Belgium today ... complete with a monsoon-like downpour and a small twister with sheet and fork lightning that went on way beyond sunset. Like a strip light being switched on and off.
