Whats the weather like near you?

It's been cooler here today in the Midlands, but it felt even more humid and sweaty somehow. We had a couple of very light showers this morning, but nothing like the rain and storms forecast. We could do with it to be honest.

Cool, overcast and a slight breeze. Bit of rain but no storm I reckon.

Just had the mother of all thunderstorms last evening in mid Lincolnshire.  In all my seventy years I have not witnessed the like.  First one came with usual black cloud and that feeling you have with the pressure change.  It was quite severe then the skies cleared to reveal blue sky and powder puff clouds so I thought I would venture down to the lake with the Matbro to do a bit of brash clearing with the muck fork.

As I went down the track there was a line of silvery cloud in the South with a lot of vertical lines, but since it was fine where I was I continue on…… big mistake!

I thought for a moment Putin must have launched a new secret weapon and the thunder and lightning were continuous for about half an hour and I felt very vulnerable in the middle of the farm so I turned for home in the middle of a load of crash bangs.  I thought that I am sure I am ok as I am in a Faraday cage but it did not feel very safe and then the torrential rain was so much the wipers couldn’t cope then the hail started!

Made it to the barn and sat there until it dispersed.  So into the car and back home and another black cloud on the horizon , surely there cannot be three but sure enough bang crash again.

Anyway good test for leaks in the roof

Just going round now to check for tree damage

Just sitting here by the lake and there is another big black cloud heading this way…….  I’m off!

Bit of light rain late morning, clouds started to look like the thunderstorm forecast might happen so stopped using the (steel) MEWP at half two. Fair old rain and win at present and occasional flashes of lightning. Nice and cool now.

Spent the afternoon at the beach behind the school with my brother, his family, my kids and one of my daughter's friends. 

 

It was very nice indeed. Summer's last hurrah. 

 

27c air, 21c water. Much swimming and diving was done by all.

Looks like it'll be a nice day here, dry and sunny, up to 18 degrees. It's definitely feeling very autumnal though.
