        Looking at the lightning detector site, it appears that Liverpool & Manchester areas are getting a bit of a battering.

                Yep, it arrived here just after ten and we saw it all going on - on the other side of the mountain so Douglas was probably being knocked about a bit. Here on the west coast where I am we had a few cracks of lightning and rumbles of thunder and it disappeared.

                We've had heavy grey clouds here all day with rain threatening but it didn't happen apart from a few drops that wouldn't have filled a spoon. The cloud along with a good breeze did keep the temperature down at 22C although we were promised 25C. I'm not complaining, anything over 20C is wasted on me, I don't like the heat.

                I took the chance and put the sprinkler on the beds earlier, that usually makes it rain, but not this time so my gamble paid off. :)

                Look after yourselves everyone, I know what you're going through, I was living in Essex in the summer of '76! Keep the fluids going in too! :grphg:

                  I've just got home after visiting a Lifelong friend and his family to talk about the oncoming fishing holiday to find rolling thunderstorms, booming drawn out thunders, and continuous multiple lightning flashes..............wonderful!!!, I just love Thunderstorms:yes::hapydancsmil::hapfeet:. It's 70f outside at the moment and humid, with the thunderstorms are still rattling around. The pressure reading is 1021mbs

                    Yes, a very hot one today. Despite my best efforts it's still 28C indoors and it was 32C outside early afternoon.
                    Not quite so hot tomorrow says the forecast - just 26C in our area but like you Sheal anything over 20C is too much for me. I also see we might have thunderstorms - great!

                        Totally agree!! Taking *any* dog out in this heat is ridiculous - Ozzy had to forego his walk for this very reason :nonofinger:

                        Took him out this morning while there was still a breeze: this is what my weather was like

                        By the time we arrived home that breeze had moved on and its getting to sweaty time :SUNsmile:

                        Son got up and asked (in a despairing voice): "Why is it so hot at *this* time!!!!??? Midday, maybe, but not at 7" :heehee: (This is the lad who is off to work in Spain for a year in September :roflol: )

                          A refreshing cooler start here - only 21C and there's quite a lot of cloud about. Forecast predicts a more manageable day. I struggled with it all yesterday evening but slept with only the duvet cover and that was fine,

                            I hope we have thunderstorms - love them :) :blue thumb:

                            67.9F at the moment but rising even as I watch the weather station. It's going to be another hot one!

                              It's a bit cooler this morning. It's 20.6C at the moment and quite cloudy. It looks like we may get more thundery showers here later this afternoon.
