They had just been through the eye-wall of a near category 5 hurricane - I think they did a pretty good job all things considered.

Hundreds of thousands of people will be packing for Boardmasters, Boomtown and various other festivals next weekend too.

Bear in mind the mods have been very busy deleting posts (thanks mods ) but many of us see those posts before they are deleted. It's not about singling anyone out but rather keeping the atmosphere welcoming for all types of opinions.

Just popping out of longtime lurk-mode as I have to point out... The only reason this forum is so popular is because our weather has so much personality - how many of you would be coming here if we were guaranteed a calm 20C every day of the year? So regardless of how much anyone moans, there is simple no stopping the British weather and it will do what it does regardless - heat, cold, drought, floods or relentless grey. Deaths supposedly due to heat in this country are due to infrastructure, people and politics and that's also where the solution lies. From January to December we never really know what we're going to get but we do know that at some points the conditions will be harder to manage than others. No one knows this better than farmers (which is why many of them now grow indoors in controlled environments). So I don't think anyone minds people moaning or disagreeing about the heat, but do thinks it's crossing the line implying that those who enjoy our inevitable hotter conditions, are somehow selfishly wishing death and suffering on people. It would be nice if people were a little more tolerant of other's weather preferences.. especially on a weather discussion forum.

You could try Facebook's live map. There's some pretty severe conditions being broadcast from various places in Puerto Rico atm. https://www.facebook.com/livemap/#@18.24837276,-65.971166665,9.224871098z
