Love a good storm and the one yesterday was good.
Hope we have another one soon as I'm sat in the office with the window which is on the shady side open wide, a fan keeping the air moving and I'm still blinking roasting.
Give us another storm please mother nature, it's stifling.

Did anyone notice that when the thunderstorm started yesterday that their broadband connection was playing up until about 9:00pm when it sorted itself out.
My exchange is Great Harwood, can this have some bearing on the difficulty?

I don’t know what all the fuss is about, about a bit of lukewarm weather. This is hot and humid? Try Singapore during the monsoon season.
When I was at HMS Jufair the naval base in Bahrain back in the late 60’s we played cricket in temperatures of well over 120 F in the sun. In fact the highest recorded temperature on top of the airport control tower – the RAF one not the civilian one – was 149 F and we were playing cricket that afternoon. Great for spin bowling – not so great for the speed merchants though.
Get yourselves over to the Middle East. 100 + F in the shade and out in the sun, well it is so hot that you don’t sweat. Well you do actually but as soon as the moisture appears it evaporates. But once you get out of the sun you are instantly wet through and I mean instantly. Now that is hot!

I was in 45'C in Saudi Arabia but at least it was dry heat. Not so good at night, though, when the temp only fell to 35 and the AC didn't seem to make much difference.
We were up at Heysham yesterday afternoon sorting out our caravan in preparation for the school hols. It started to look gloomy overhead as we were thinking of heading back (had to get back in time for Dr. Who you know!) and on the way back down the M6 I saw lightening shoot acros the sky - then Busman saw one which hit the ground but all the way back we never encountered any rain.
When we got back here the ground was wet so it obviously had rained but it must have gone ahead of us because it had stopped raining by the time we got here. And yes, we were just in time for Dr. Who!

Our village made it on to the BBC News last night, so I'm told. A friend of mine who lives 3 miles away said they only got a sprinkling of rain while we were being flooded.
Today I had to sweep up all the debris the water left behind in my garden. Not the best of jobs in the present temperature.
