key gardens 37.7c.....time is running out
Apparently we're due another storm tomorrow, which would be nice. I missed the last one
Thunderstorms usually clear the air, making it feel fresher.
Next week is wall to wall rain. Now hit max temp of 35 today. Country grinding to a halt, METROLINK severe delays due to "extreme heat" Buckling tracks, end of the world.
We seem to have 3 hours of storms forecast tonight just outside of London. Fingers crossed, will save me watering the garden!
The mostly sheet lightning from the other night wasn't really helping clear the air
Yeah I heard some fork lightning was seen by some friends but nothing spectacular.

Just got back from a long cycle around Richmond Park, topped out at 37c, 39c real feel according to my phone. Had issues dealing with heat in the past so trying to train myself to deal with it, likely the hottest day I've cycled on and maybe the hottest day I've ever experienced in England.
The contrast of going back from the park to the hot noisy roads was horrible, there's major traffic jams and it felt even hotter.
Luckily I work from home too, but no AC so is likely high 20's indoors here with just fans and a cold water filler little box cooler. I'd still take this over having to get the tube any day, or even a long bus or train journey, central London must be hellish right now. Anyone dealing with that has my sympathy and respect.
I could see the occasional ground strike in the distance from me that looked pretty savage and were probably pretty loud up close but from what I saw it was all cloud to cloud stuff over me.
Where abouts are you in the UK? Wiltshire was pretty much the same
