All we are getting here in Mitcham is lightning, which means it's going to be a slow approach

Just humid as hell here in West Drayton at the moment, although if I look eastwards I've seen the odd flash of lightening! Gonna take some doing to match last nights storm!

I was really looking forward to the thunder & lightning as well.

Here in Welling, the lightning peaked at around 9-10pm. Plus some light showers, but that was it, quite anti climatic as opposed to yesterday's storm.  |

Yeah there was a bit of lightning here and there when I woke up after a nap at like 9 (  ) but since then there's been hardly anything, apart from very slight drizzle just before 11 |

The weather is just messed up - first it's hot and sunny, then storm and lightning comes, then it gets dry and hot again and we're in July which is one of the hottest months of the year. There was no snow this year either. It's very natural for a lightning storm to occur after a very humid day. The same thing happened this time last year when the London temperature was around 90°F. |

Indeed, the hot air is sucked into the atmosphere and becomes volatile - as the hot air mixes with the cold air, water droplets form and falls as rain (I watch too many weather program's lol). |

(geography student hat on) Indeed, as the ground and air heats up the rate of evaporation of moisture droplets becomes quite rapid hence why you end up with large intense storms in the summer - it's called convectional rainfall. |
