horrid isn't it, why I think tennis players amazing, how they can play top level tennis 3 hours plus in 40C plus temps in sun, 42C when murray won wimbledon

[Nights King]

These big bruisers will be much larger than the usual 'popcorn' type storms we've been accustomed too..trust me.Pershore topped out at 27C in the mids area. 30 looks quite likely now for some.

 

Hope your right Ive not seen anything other than the occasional Wam Bam Thank you mam kind of storm for 17 years I calculated earlier. Going by the bbc forecasts they don't expect much tonight other than 'thundery showers' so have to hope Saturdays event is one to remember.

Anything could happen, night of radar watching tomorrow no doubt with a few ciders

My car almost refused to start, I put this down to the 39c temp it was recording. Serves me right for driving a black one lol

So, do I need to water my plants tonight? Just finished a very long parents evening and I just want to continue swatting thunderflys away from my glass of wine.

[Costa Del Fal]

27.5c here today. Hot and sunny. Flying ants everywhere!

[Polar Maritime]

A max of 26.8c here in the shade today. Much better now I've had a cool shower and sat in the garden in the shade with a light breeze.

Beautiful hot day, just started raining now

[DeepSnow]

Are we to expect electrical activity to pick up through the night as the band moves north or will it likely stay similar to what it is now?

Wow if that line of extremely active storms is the starter then roll on the main course tomorrow night into Saturday!

Yes 39c must of been a bit much for a combustion engine..  

 

Yes you need to water them if they in pots but if in the ground they should be fine.

[BARRY]

It's letting rip here now with thunder and lighting WOW

[conor123]

ESE winds = no breeze here and all the heat from the South East pushing up towards the Cheshire Gap through the night, still 24c now, which would be excellent at the weekend but not for a good nights sleep when getting up at 6am for work *sigh*

[SteveB]

Jersey looks like it's getting a good show, anyone on here from there?

[J10]

Gorgeous day here today, Temps hit 26c at Blackpill, 23c at Mumbles.

 

Abundant sunshine for most of the day, hazy at times.

[tinybill]
