And in this part of the world, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were abroad. Beautiful blue skies, the odd cloud and a light breeze with 30C.

Indeed, let's enjoy some sangria whilst watching West Country folks' and northerners' party unfold

Did hear Thunder earlier but seems to have faded .

And the rain has started.

Could have got a few bottles of San Miguel, suppose I will have to do with Carlsberg. Nicely hot here still and with a cooling breeze. Good luck to those getting or expecting storms this evening

Know the feeling mate - might get our chance tomorrow with the cold front sweeping through. I haven't experienced one surfaced based storm this year (or even one proper clap of thunder) so fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Chance of an MCS I see?

Another rumble here all though not that frequent.
