We had some strong gusts, lots and lots of quick lightning flashes and some rumblings in the distance, but nothing really came of it. It rained just enough to close our skylight (there is a sensor - yay!) but everything looks just as dry as it did yesterday.

Storms are forecasted for the afternoon though, so there's hope!

Thunderstorms forecast here too, but no measurable rain. Still, that's what they said yesterday too.

have been observing how the clouds based by around Zurich on meteo swiss

I beg your pardon?

Thunderstorm overhead grumbling away to itself and it's raining.

Gordon Bennett it’s coming down whole water at the moment!

Make sure your windows are shut. I forgot I'd opened the vulux one in my bathroom. Wet bathroom mats now.

Hailing here.

My poor chili plants.

Sitting in the garden, reading

Nice and refreshing, neighbour kids were running and jumping around outside.

The baby pool outside which was empty is now overflowing (Great idea to place some bricks in it before shopping...)

Oh lol, just wait. If you get the same you'll be running.. (I run uphill with the kid under my arm, just made it in time for the huge outburst...)

Just had an amazing storm, thunder and lightning, crazy hailstones crashing down, the road is flooded, a fire engine just went past with blue lights and sirens.

The rain has finally hit Basel!

A prelude of thunder and a few scattering drops and then - RAIN! Glorious RAIN!!!

Well, in the mean time it just rained enough to force me to take the laptop inside. I could go back out now but pheeew, now I lost interest

Let's see some photos from Baden!!! I saw one on FB and it was amazing the amount of hail that fell

Weird. Nothing here. Even the street is dry again.

Waiting for edot to say the other side of town is drowning. LOL.

Drove back from Luzern, a LOT of rain, back home again a lot of rain and now it has cooled down. Nice.

Had a call with one of our bankers and he told me that in some parts of Germany there were floodings, really bad in Wuppertal area

Well, something's up because the Zürich airport is suffering huge delays and cancellations...

Flightradar24

Was a huge storm, the app said two lightning strikes per second and continuous thunder for maybe 15 minutes or more.

That's 30km from here (road, not beeline). LOL. Still dry street here.

Definitely more planes than normally though - and kind of "close" to each other. Maybe they circle here?

Am I gonna be the only one who has to go back out to water the plants?
