I think lightning is so much better at night. I could see lightning when it first formed over Shropshire just before midnight around 50 miles away. I then dozed off and was awoken just in time by a rumble of thunder not long after 1AM. It was a nice little effort. Hopefully this was just the taster for the main event today.

Dry all day here, but has been mostly cloudy until recently. Sun starting to burst through the cloud now and temperature responding accordingly, has shot up 3 degrees in the last hour, currently 24.3C and a muggy feel. I'm hoping for some cooler days/nights. The bedroom has been roasting hot by sunset over the past few days and only cooling slowly overnight given elevated overnight temps as well. Window is open all night, but that means my first wake up call is nature's pre-dawn chorus, which is always in full swing by 04:00.

The weather was great for weeks prior to last weekend, largely sunny days, temps into the low 20s Celcius and cool nights. Made it so much more comfortable for outdoor activities and the house wasn't too warm inside. Now we're getting into the high 20s Celcius here every day and nights staying warm, it's definitely gone past my comfort zone. The thunderstorms have provided some compensation though.

I tried the trick of keeping windows and curtains shut previously, but just found it got too stuffy. I opt for multiple windows open to try and get cross ventilation going. Maybe I just need to stump up for air conditioning. The way our summers are going in recent years, it's probably worth it. I'll check out those water spray fans you mention, they sound great!
