It's too hot :(

[naefeart]

The thunder and lightning plus heavy rain have hit Liverpool. The temperature has dropped to below 20ºC now but it feels so much more humid!

Tends to be what we get in the Uk, a day of stunning weather followed by utter crap. Imagine if we had 2-3 solid summer months of decent weather. I’m sure we used to…

A "too hot" day, the promised thunderstorms did not materialise, unacceptable!

Yes we did, normally around the school summer holiday( so the harvest could be brought in). I’ve seen it films and also heard it from my mum and dad.

Never wish for thunderstorms, gentle rain yes.

It's fine for doing low intensity stuff (walking) or stuff in the water. But anything super physical and it's a bit too hot.

Hah had to spend the afternoon digging over the beds in the greenhouse beans need to be planted! Now that was hot.

23c here with occasional breezes. Gardening done. Been to the coast at Heysham for a walk and got some beer and lemonade in. I'm in for a cold shandy before the rain starts. I love that weird tiredness you get from sea air.

23c here too thats the warmest its been all year. Shorts are officially out!

Man! that smell of petrichor when the rain starts to fall is great.

 

[drakulton]

and now the thunder and lightening.

Yes I've located the shorts( doesn't really help) and I am now going to trim the beard down and the rest of what goes for hair on my head

Nothing wrong with a good thunderstorm!

There is if you run the risk of getting flooded

It's here!

Forecast some thunder in derby but i'm not hopeful.

Also, our house gets really hot during this 24c+ heat so I opened up our loft hatch . Works wonders. loads of heat going into the loft. landing nice and cool and a fan or two in bedrooms blowing warm air into the landing for it to go into loft. Keeping the house reasonable.

Never thought of that approach

I will accept this only if you pay for a full split air conditioning system for the upstairs of my house

I'm fortunate not to live in an area that suffers from flooding, and I love a thunderstorm! Sorrynotsorry

That's it, 1500 watts of A/C back in service, bedroom currently 16c!

I bought a little portable unit a while back for £110 or so, finally been vindicated. Sitting in my lovely 18c room and used it at work today to make it much more bearable.

Not as much water as expected, but it has settled down into a good, steady rain. Keep nipping out to transfer water around. Some of the lightning was great... weird orangey-white sheets.

Feels like a storm or even a light drizzle is needed but probably wont get one until July when its 35C or something.

Mornings are starting to lose their freshness now.

Wonder if my area will manage to reach drought conditions in May.

Just like us Brits, after a few days of no rain we are wishing for it.
