Just 0.8mm of rain the total from last night. And another tropical night with the min 20.3C
Feeling hot again this morning now, already at 26.4C, but more cloud around, and a breeze from the NE.
I remember it very well. I was working in London at the time in Artillery Row, off Victoria Street. It was the extraordinary darkness at midday that was so memorable. As it was lunchtime, there were many people out on the street just standing looking at the sky, before the storm broke. The resulting rain lifted a drain cover in the floor of the Library I was working in and partially flooded the place!
To be fair, I think our garden is a bit of a hot spot, in spite of it being a reasonable size. I've got a Davis weather station though, so I'm fairly confident of the value, even if it's a bit 'local' to here!
Just .4mm of rain here last night - the storm skirted to the East of us. Rather more hazy at he moment, and the temp is down compared to this time yesterday - 21C.
Slightly cooler than yesterday which was a surprise, but you could feel the slight chill in the sea breeze. 20.1 the max, and this didn't peak until 17.45.
