And Windy. com has thunder and lightning this afternoon with a very small amount of rain.. It forecast thunder yesterday and we did hear it in Polemi

And over in the east north of Ayia Napa towards Famagusta town the thunder and lightning has started and the rain is lumping it down.

Thunder up here in Polemi, and very Black.. but not raining... yet

Had no rain in Pafos at all, well in the area I live in, BUT looking to the west this morning it looks like the wet stuff is on the way in, good no watering those plants.

Same here, no rain yesterday but looking like it will rain etc today.

Well, you was lucky then, I had 2 hours power cut and the thunder and lightning was going on for hours in my area which is not that far away from Paphos town. A lot of damage reported from EAC... which was also yesterday when "wunderground" forecasted obviously only partly cloudy

Friends of ours posted photos of the damages to their garden and flooding on the outskirts of Episkopi village in Limassol. They said it was the worst storm they've experienced in Cyprus for 14yrs.

Again in Paphos nothing, a bit of low cloud but no sign of any rain, so far, maybe tonight?

No rain up here but we have had some Thunder..

The sky is now looking ominous and so we have brought the furniture in off the patio. Ok RAIN bring it on. (This is an old picture from some time ago)

WOW!

Is that in Cyprus ??

Well the storm came early this morning, not particularly bad but loud.

Upper Peyia, Arodes, Ineia, Droushia, Kirtou Terra, Kissongera as well as Tala!

Went off about 11pm last night, not back on yet

Power went off at 11.20 pm for around 50 mins in Choulou.

It looks like Polemi, or at least our area of Polemi was lucky then
