The met office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning in the next couple of days.

Anything to reduce the humidity :-(

Yes! As long as it doesn't flatten my sweetcorn :-D

I am obviously in a different region because it is really nice here and not humid.

Joy - anything over 21 degrees is too hot for me - whether it is humid or not. I just can't function in any kind of heat.

People will hate me but roll on winter!!

You're lucky, JoyLouise.

I can take any heat, but humidity just floors me.
I'm half way through putting up a blind, and my enthusiasm just died.
I may have to have a nap!

I'm with Kathleen, I like winter

:-D :-D :-D

We’ve got both the heat warning And the thunderstorm warning area. But am not expecting the thunderstorm as we missed all the other recent ones.

I wait to be proved wrong.

26 in the shade here. 36 in the greenhouse so somewhere between the two in the sun.

I can remember temps in 40s and humidity dreadful. Fans were useless and we bought a stand-alone air conditioning unit over which we used to drape a towel that had been in the freezer for a while when we went to bed - but because it did only the room it was in, our young son used to share our bed when it was like that.

As soon as we could, we had good air conditioning installed throughout. A boon!

It is 30 here in the shade

The met office weather forecast said rain at 5pm yesterday.
It didn't rain - the humidity just intensified. :-(

We regularly had temperatures in the 40s in Saudi - but it was a delicious dry heat.

We are 28.1 in the south facing living room with curtains with thermal linings closed

Fan going on now.

I am so glad we bought the linings a couple months ago they take some of the heat off.

Dry heat much better to live with. :-D

I rarely open my blinds or curtains on the south side in the summer, names.

Even my pal around the corner thought I was having a very long lie-in once. :-D

The sun starts to appear around the back about lunchtime so there is usually run around that side of the house then. We have a very north/south aspect .

My dog is absolutely petrified of thunderstorms so I'm keeping an eye on the following link

Aww, LondonBelle. <3

Sounds the same as our site names

Belle and R. <3

Sitting here in Medway and the sun has gone ,temperature dropped and thunder in the air

Cat decided mouse hunting wasn’t a good game and has just frantically scratched attempt door to come in

He is the kitchen eating food he left earlier

At least I may not have to struggle with the watering can !

Having spent seven years in dread of a power cut, I kind of revel in a thunderstorm, enjoying not caring if the power goes off or not.

Of course, I would rther it stayed on!

That's so true, Sharron.

We had a power cut for about 3 hours on Saturday, and another one today for half an hour - caused by the heat, not thunder.
That's when I revel in having a gas cooker and a whistling kettle to put on it, :-D
