Well in our sunny corner of SW Essex we haven't been in the direct firing line for storms so far this summer, although we have had some epic torrential downpours. Am hopeful for Friday night in particular when, according to the Netweather Thunderstorm risk charts, it's meant to be the closing act on this mini-heatwave. Just purchased an oscillating tower fan online which I'll be picking up this evening. Could make the difference between a sleepless night and a restless one instead!
