No sign of these thunderstorms so the app and Alexa were telling porkies.
According to the app on my phone, your storms are not due till mid afternoon.
Up here they're more likely at tea time and into the early evening. Currently 21c but stiflingly humid. I got Hartley walked early before it the heat set in. He's not been very well, I won't go into details, but I'm not sure if it was a dodgy chew-stick yesterday or the heat, or both. Sprockers, or most dogs in fact, are not happy with heat, yet mindless owners were dragging them out in the 27c temperatures yesterday.
The two apps that I use both forecast thunderstorms yesterday and also Alexa said we’d get rain at 3am. Neither happened. 😕
The apps are now forecasting rain, rather than a storm, this afternoon. If I was a betting woman, I’d lay bets that it will pass me by.

I hope Hartley soon feels better.
Thunderstorms are extremely difficult to predict, they can be forecast and nothing will happen or you'll get one when none were given. Also they can be very localised, so you may be bone dry while five miles away they're having a deluge.
Hartley's been OK since his illness earlier, thanks for asking.

No thunderstorms were due today BUT a short while ago, the heavens opened and it’s still raining heavily, plus rumbles of thunder. It’s also pretty windy judging from what the trees are doing. The app currently says “light rain showers and light winds.” 🙄
The main thing is that my area has rain and the garden definitely needed it. Fingers crossed that the temperature now drops because it’s currently 30C.
Edit
That was short and sharp but better than nothing. The strong wind has kindly deposited a load of leaves from next door’s tree all over the garden and it’s not even Autumn yet. 😡
Now the mist has rolled in, the rain has started again and Hartley is having a bad day what with feral kids running round the house and rumbles of thunder...
