So I had a headache about three o'clock this afternoon and lo and behold, we are experiencing horrendous thunder and lightning now. The rain is torrential. It was very humid today and needed to break, but this is something else

We are in the North West

Diffuser. I always get a headache if there is thunder around. I am better than the weather forecast !!! I just know it’s coming

I am in the NW now, and have the same weather. We have another couple of weeks here, and this always seems to happen when we come up. It can be glorious weather until we arrive, then it turns until we leave.

I would love a good storm, but we rarely get them here in North Devon. 🌩️🌩️
We just get the muggy weather..

Storm last night in Thatcham. Cooled down at last!

Bristol is still dry as a bone and very warm.
No rain forecast until tonight. Probably!

The sky became very dark and ominous last night, I could see lightning and hear thunder but it wasn't directly overhead.
I had a feeling storms were on the way because I had tummy ache all day, it eased when the weather improved.

It’s cooler here today with a moderate breeze. Much more comfortable than the humid heat of yesterday. Areas around us had thunder in the afternoon yesterday. Where we were, it just rained but only for an hour or so, then became hot and humid again. It’s cooling down a bit during this week, more unsettled weather but still not much in the way of rain for us.

Please send some of that rain here! Buckets of it!
I do love a good thunderstorm, especially after the kind of very hot weather we’ve been having.

The heat and humidity were unbearable yesterday and I was glad of a really powerful thunderstorm to cool things down. It's much pleasanter today and I can go for a long walk without coming home like a dischcloth.
