Yes i did hear the other islands had it worse that Gran Canaria, wasn't expecting it as didn't think Hermine was going to get that close to us. We were suppose to fly home Monday but the flight was cancelled, apparently a lot across the canaries got cancelled over the weekend so you were lucky!
-
My last day in Gran Canaria today, we had an aweful lot of rain yesterday, constant and heavy with some flooding, a short lived thunderstorm last night and very windy now today.
-
Hermine is producing a lot of rain here in the Canaries despite not being over us, red warnings out for 100-150mm of rain today.
-
Is there a tropical depression close to the Canaries? I've seen a few forecasts now saying where I am on holiday in Grand Canaria is suppose to get some torrential rain and storms over the weekend associated with a tropical wave/depression?

Well im off to Grand Canaria for 2 weeks today for a friends wedding, whilst im not a heat person it should be lovely out there with highs of 27-29C. Hopefully when I get back on 27th things will be looking very nicely autumnal for us as I do love the autumn weather and decent into winter! -

Im gutted, back home they had a load of Thursday and Lightning in Barry, im about 12 miles away in work and just on the edge of the storm and missed it. They only ever hit home when im not there -

Moderate rain with big drops, very dark skies that look like they want to go bang, but sadly its not -

Shame the storm over the SW is dying out before getting to South Wales, knowing my luck we will get a storm here when I'm working 12 miles away and I'll miss it -
I cannot say how happy I am for it to be cool outside, cloudy and picking with rain. Feeling comfortable again now and should stay like it all week. Hopefully any further heatwaves will have less intensity to them and 'only' be in the hugh 20s making them more manageable!

Im hoping for something today or tomorrow but feeling it might be unlikely here - showing rain on the radar here but nothing is falling. -
Still 32.2C and the house is 29c but for some reason much more humid inside, which feels horrendous. My poor cats aren't coping well bless them. I'll be off to work soon for 7pm until 10am tomorrow in my care service, not looking forward to a night there. Roll on tomorrow and the 23c it's suppose to be here!
-
Still 31.4C here at 7:30pm, which is absolutely ridiculous for South Wales. Driving about in the heat and the landscape so brown and dusty, it has felt like being somewhere in the Mediterranean the last few days. I think come winter I will be investing in getting a A/C unit, can't be dealing with these heatwaves multiple times a year.

Been awake since 4am due to the heat upstairs, despite fans on and windows open. I decided to come down and open the back doors and all the windows in the house fully. It was still a balmy 22C outside at 4am. Temp dropped to 20.7C before rising again, managed to get the temp downstairs to a more comfy 24C thismorning before it started to rise as the sun came up, so have shut all doors, windows and curtains to trap the cooler air in for as long as possible. Fingers crossed this will help to mitigate the house getting as hot as it did yesterday, though unlikely lol.
-
It reached just over 33C at St Athen, the official station about 15mins drive from me yesterday, was about 32C in Barry and didn't go below 20C last night. Could be around 34C today, though im working in Cowbridge so probably a degree or 2 cooler here around 32C today. Hope we get some thunderstorms start of the week! Not seen a proper storm in a good few years now.

I don't know, its just something I heard someone reminisce about from a time long past.
