    As if it ain’t hot enough a thunderstorm has brought all our dogs into the lounge, the heat they are radiating is unbelievable. 😂

    Had a mother of a storm last night in Mereworth, Kent. The lightening was both sheet and fork and it was constant with few breaks in between, thunder was the loudest I have heard in a long time.

    It took the power out to the house but bizarrely it came back on with no fuses tripped in the consumer unit so must have been outside on the grid.

    Last year, we had a new roof, new windows and shutters. This year, it’s hotter inside than it is out. At least I saved money by not installing a sauna 🧖‍♂️

    To set a new record you have to get all your ducks lined up.  Yesterday went almost perfectly until the patches of cloud came over.  Unusually, although temperatures dropped it was only very slightly because the heat was caused by very hot air slightly higher in the atmosphere.  This hot air aloft caused some interesting effects.


    WOW parts of #Lincolnshire just saw a temporary 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature this evening

    This was due to a #thunderstorm collapsing and bringing hot air from aloft down to the surface

    Check out this temperature curve from Donna Nook

    Tonight's event is likely to be an example of a heat burst, a rare atmospheric phenomenon characterised by gusty winds along with a rapid increase in temperature and decrease in dew point (moisture)
