Lightning struck more than 3,000 times in two hours in the UK, as a heatwave warning remains in place for parts of the country.

Storms hit southern England overnight, and BBC Weather said the rain would move north across the UK during Friday.

The Polar Vortex is leaving us

That was the best July weather ever.

Same here, but we have a couple more days of highs in the 70s.  Then it creeps back into the 80s on Sunday and a high of 90 Tuesday.  I'll enjoy the next few days while they last.

Heatwave continues. If this is a sign of how future summers will be I'll have to go American and invest in an A/C.

Same here, too hot. 

Looks like the local weather station recorded the country's highest temperature yesterday, a rather unpleasant 32c

Guess le Comte de Buffon was wrong about Denmark, the country without sun so that blacks could turn back into whites if moved back there (without miscegenation). Given time of course. How many generations?

Massively muggy and hot here. Uncomfortably so. I can't even sleep.

I'm thinking of buying a ceiling fan. Though I suspect that may be an overreaction to a particularly hot fortnight

The biggest downside of my new apartment in the summer is that I can't get a draft going.

On the plus side, when it's 32° outside, I will have 28° inside.

On the minus side, this temperature persists through the night. It's currently 22° outside, and still 26° inside, even though I've had windows and the door to the hallway for an hour now.

30° at 1pm, and we're getting thunderstorms already. If they're anything like in the last weeks, they won't cool of anything and just make things moist and steamy (and not in a sexy way).

Finally today we're getting some cooler weather off the North-West Atlantic/Irish sea; temperatures down form 30+ to mid-20s, now I can breath.

I feel like I should sit in white linen clothes, sipping tea, and reading a novel about the futility of life set in some early 20th century monsoon plagued colony while Enrico Caruso blares from the gramophone.

Thats conjours up the deleted* scene from 'Apocalypse Now' where they come across the long forgotten isolated French colonials.




* I think it was in the much longer Redux cut.

Yeah, it's part of Redux. I don't think I have an opium pipe, though.

It's so hot my heather honey has the viscosity of acacia honey.

We'll have under 30° the next few days.

But over 90% humidity.
