patsylabrador Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Apparently there is a huge intense thunderstorm coming down the midlands towards Oxfordshire. Lots of lightening, the map on met office site looks impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hey! pass it down this way when you're done Liz... just in time for my walk home for lunch! I'll have to remember to close my office window when I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Our Group H&S department at head office has just issued a severe weather warning for the Midlands area; lots of our staff drive out to see clients so need to be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Dark as a dark thing here now and very close. No rumbles yet but I'm hoping.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Rang MIL in Cheltenham at around noon and there was thunder rumbling in the background. She said they'd had a heavy downpour, as had my friend in Worcester. It's been Hot and sunny here this morning but cloudier for the past hour. No sign of rain yet though and I bet we don't get a storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, it went dark but nothing happened. Wonder if we've been passed by....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It has been scorching hot today and sunny - I even managed to bath old Doris knowing she would dry quickly in the sunshine. Poor old chicken doesn't clean herself very well any more and had a filthy bottom, she's 6 years old and I suspect on her last legs. It has come over a bit grey in the last half an hour and the air is very heavy so I guess rain might be on its way...preferably after I've been out to pick the kids up though!

The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's still very hot and sticky here with lots of cloud and 58% humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It pretty much passed us by too, we had a few loud rumbles then a shower for about 10 minutes then back to hot and sticky, it has been quite sunny too. I have tried loads of sheets today. ED popped in to collect a couple of bits earlier and they had a thunder storm whilst cooking their breakfast outside this morning and have water coming up through the bottom of their tent, but she looked happy and relaxed if a little grubby.

The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Lovely evening now, 20deg, windy with a clear sky and black clouds racing past but none are stopping. I expect that it will storm when we are trying to sleep tonight Wasn't too bad at work with all the windows open but my house is lovely and cool even in the hottest weather... and the coldest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have just seen the News on telly and the floods in Shropshire and elsewhere look terrible.

chickencam Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 16 degrees here and we have had sunshine and dark clouds and it is breezy.
