    It was unbearably hot in Sheffield yesterday.

    Last night we had a sound and light show around 2.00 am - a hour of thunder, sheet lightning (fantastic sight) and 2 inches of rain.

    It is unbearably hot in Sheffield today. The storm last night made no difference!

    When I lived in Bradford the summers were oppressive, the winters harsh

    Hard going in work today and terrible traffic on the way home, looked like a bad smash on the Eastern Avenue. Did a detour and took a while to get home but that’s trivial compared to the poor buggers involved in the accident, hope it turns out ok.

    Just looked over to the east - huge cumulonimbus clouds banking up to around 20,000ft. The rains are coming !!!!!!

    That’s easy for you to say

    Was equally as hot in Bristol this afternoon. I was over there for an hour or so.

    Fine if you don't mind the heat and you don't have to exert yourself too much. Nightmare if you have to work or have to move around a lot.

    Looking at a lightning tracker we seem to be missing out again. 100's of lightning strikes around Bristol tracking north through Monmouth Hereford to Shrewsbury and Birmingham.
    Gutted.

    Armageddon to the west and east of us just now here in the Midlands. My daughter reckoned it was 34.5c according to her car thermometer. At least the rain has knocked 4c off our bedroom temperature. It was a sweltering 29.5c. Highest I've ever seen it in UK.

    Re: unbearably hot today

    I went to the office today just because of the air con. Its quite an ordeal as to avoid the underground i walk from Liverpool st in east London, across the city to the west end, lugging my laptop etc with
    me. So I took a change of clothes and when i arrived, sweaty, at the office i showered and changed and was feeling very pleased with myself, sat in a positively chilly, pretty empty office. And then at about midday, some absolute idiot thought it time for a fire drill. Social distancing forgotten, we were herded into the (very warm) fire escapes and out into the sunshine. Couldnt get food or drink as had no mask so couldnt go to shops, and within minutes we were all sweaty and fed up. Social distancing enforced when the office reopened after about 25 mins so there was a massive queue as they drip fed hundreds of us back in, 2 at a time in the lifts (or walk say 8 flights of stairs in the steaming hot fire escape staircase). By the time i got back to my desk my change of clothes was soaked through with sweat. Absolute misery.
