No, but I don't want thunder ..scares the absolute crap out of the dog

MooMoo444 · 20 Jul 2022 at 16:57

I was hoping there would be an absolute belter of a storm after those two days but so far, absolutely zip. I wanted to stand outside in it Andy Dufresne style, throwing my arms to the sky

Alice In Wonderland · 20 Jul 2022 at 17:23

Had to put my cardigan on for my dog walk.

Yesterday was crazy but it could have stayed a bit warmer today!

Almost needed the light on in the kitchen making tea, came over so dark. Quite a downpour (got me out of watering the rosebeds, hee hee) but no thunder or lightning in Swindon.

Holidaymakers try climb out of delayed aircraft during heatwave

The Ryanair flight to Budapest was delayed for hours in record temperatures

I would have been pretty p’eed off with this. Have sat on a Jet2 plane on a runway for 2.5 hours playing that awful Jess Glynne song. Thank goodness for headphones.

This is much much worse. What should RA or EMA have done?

I think my house is still cooling down. All windows and bifold open and still taking a while to kick the heat out

some 'expert' on tv said 2 days until it's normal again

Rroff · 20 Jul 2022 at 18:27

Ours cooled down in a few hours once the cooler air started moving. I can imagine with a longer heatwave 2 days would be more normal.

At least around here we've just not had that kind of heat soak.

Ha, my wife did the same hack last night

badtooth76 · 20 Jul 2022 at 19:11

Still 29c in bedrooms and 27c in living room, all windows open and 20c outside.

Uther · 20 Jul 2022 at 19:15

Drove through a band of rain on the motorway earlier, less than ten minutes from home. Get home, not a drop.

My flat also does not want to obey the laws of physics. I don’t know why the air isn’t circulating that much. I suppose the structure has probably also soaked up the heat from the last couple of days and is now radiating it back out.

JamesH85 · 20 Jul 2022 at 19:34

It's so chilled here. 17 degrees and the house is now so cool. So much better no rain yet.

JonRGV250 · 20 Jul 2022 at 19:37

Fairly humid here, and sat outside in shorts having a BBQ.
All was good until a pointy tailed black and yellow **** decided to sting me under my armpit.
At least it wasn't one of the many hornets in the garden this year.

robfosters · 20 Jul 2022 at 19:38

Still feels warm and muggy here
