Guest Guest66881 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Heavy rain and strong wind has battered much of Britain, with fierce thunderstorms hitting London as the Met Office issued severe weather warnings. Shoppers were left drenched in fierce downpours across the south, while sports fans at football, rugby and horse racing meetings were hit by torrential rain. London was struck by a fierce electrical storm in later afternoon, with lightning strikes cracking across the sky, pouring rain and hailstones pelting the city. The thunderstorms also struck across the Midlands and into East Anglia, with winds of more than 50mph reported yesterday afternoon.

Quoll Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It was an absolute ripper! The UK lightning tracker site was incredible for a few minutes. Mother Nature does fireworks better than the commercial varieties. It did bugger up the Cambridge train arrivals and departures for a few hours though (and many others I suspect!)

Londongal76 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It just went batshit crazy here for about 15 mins. Squall line was passing over, lightning, thunder, sideways rain, wind out of nowhere it was mental. Though didn't live up to the 5 hour electrical storm in brissy the other weekend, that was something to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
