Nice storms here around Portsmouth area.

Been basking in sunshine here on the coast by Eastbourne. Only had 1 downpour about 3pm for 30 mins.

It’s finally incoming. 3 miles away.

Incessant rain in London today. Gf's parents' road flooded, including houses.

It's a shame that when you ask for rain, you don't get to choose how much.

My in-laws were bailing out the garden apparently as the level was approaching their patio doors! Just about missed us.

It's only going to get worse, but it's expected when you basically concrete everywhere and the water has nowhere to go because what little drain offs there is for water isn't scalable for climate change

Floods galore in London

Bone dry, few days away from been an official drought for my city.

Huge thunderstorm here (near Wincanton).

Seems to be moving south towards Blandford and Bournemouth.

Pretty sure for some time now the UK has had a full climate change to monsoon type weather outside of winter. Long dry and hot spells, then rain beyond rain.

Also I'm not sure if its due to the heat, but my eyes and nostrils are extremely irritated and kind of warm and stinging.

Theres no redness, swelling or signs of infections, but I've taken to washing my actual eyeballs and inside of nose with palmolive on top of the normal face cleanse. Probably shouldn't be doing that but its gentle enough.

Great when the North is basking in hot dry weather and the south is all soggy. It makes you think that there is a god after all.

Makes me warm inside and out.

Few thunder rumbles here in last few minutes, but sky to east isn't that overcast. Thunder expected here in middle of night again, it better not keep me up for ages like last week. :mad:

It's called hayfever

Blackjack Davy · 26 Jul 2021 at 19:21

When its hot and dry they constantly close the roads for maintenence its been roadworks in the next town, roadworks in this, massive jam because someone dug up the road and left it and now the road out of town is closed for some incident tonight (police have cordoned off the road entirely). It never stops I'm supposed to be on shift and can't budge (again). Its getting really really tiresome.

Never thought I had hayfever, and I thought that would induce redness and wateryness too.

Everything is dry and looks fine but still itchy in the places where soap doesn't normally go, can't find any explanation on google how that can happen without redness / fluid leaking everywhere.

Feeling better after 3 washes a day, but still feel like I want to lather vaseline over my eyeballs.
