What is it with storms thesedays , even temps in the high 30's with a front moving in cant produce widespread stuff anymore , the 70's seemed the best decade for storms here , the 90's were not to bad , but since then this location sucks

Should a little btter tonight , this filth is nearly over , for now

Oh god I hope thats the same for here , and if i dont get a storm tues eve this summer can do one , as a previous summer lover its becoming my season of hate now, and the reason is silly high temps are becoming a real risk , but storms seems to be fewer , roll on autumn,

Nearly time folks , the dreaded heat is almost on us I suppose the sooner it comes the sooner its over , I just wish time would pass very quick , I feel two days of my life are wasted on damn hot weather , as there will be nothing to do but shelter indoors and try and keep cool , plus side is I am of work this week , I really do feel for anyone who has to work in 37 to 41c temps , I hope we never see anything like this again this year .....or ever

As a 'mildy' , I normally like warmth and heat within reason , and liking summer , Yes I do like warmth, and tstorms etc, and spring /summer are my favourite seasons for the above reasons , or was, but if summers are going to be giving us these sorts of temps , you can shove summer where the sun dont shine , these are not the mild pleasant uk summer temps like we are familiar with and most us love. Something is up with the climate . 40c is just wrong for Northern England. I am dreading it to the point were I have a sickly pit feeling in my stomach When the forcasters are saying even some fit and healthy will succumb is actually frightening , A reward for this suffering could be a good tstorm I hope

Got to laugh , heard a few rumbles of distant thunder coming from the south then all activity stopped over the wigan area , only for it to reactivate as it moved out of this area , this can be seen on bliztortung, a gap of X's over the wigan area so just a handful of distant rumbles here then , damp squib -

As soon as the working week gets underway the weather goes sunny again , then when Saturdays arrive again guaranteed uniform grey skies and drizzle , without fail. -

A very active afternoon in these parts , multiple cells with regular thunder and lightning , all moved off east over the last few hours -
They already have become an extremely rare event here , They were a guaranteed part of the summer makup especially before the year 2000 say, and even in spring 'thundery showers' was not that unusual, but their frequency seems to have waned over the last few years , only heard distant thunder on one day from this location and its nearly August .

We have had to endure some of the hottest temps in the UK here , a full week of temps near to or above 30c, yet the storms still wont come near ,they are all in the south , or east , yet again , peeved , but happy for those storm lovers who got their fix
