Thunderstorms

Absolutely hosed it down here an hour ago. Horizontal hail, rain, thunder, lightning, the full works.

Just after I had hung out the washing.
 
I can now hear the rumble of thunder in the distance from my office window, I imagine the weather is going to change drastically in the next 30 mins or so
 
Must be regional, we've had no rain or thunder lightning in West Scotland, been v sunny about 24 Deg yesterday/today and warm before that which for mid August is good for here. Hot enough tbh, the dog can't cope. Nice for the large influx of staycationers of course. East side of Scotland got pummelled I believe leading to that tragic landslip over the railway line at Stonehaven.
 
We finally got our share today! Luckily it was just before we went out to play golf but still got soaked through putting the stuff back in the car. Scary drive home as visibility was shocking and roads close to flooding. Hopefully the golf course will be a bit less parched although need a few more days of it for sure.

Am in North Herts / South Cambs and the thunderstorm / rain this morning was like nothing else I'd ever seen, then 90 mins later it was gone !
