We are also at 27.8C indoors,upstairs and downstairs.
Outside temperature is the same.

Last couple of days here have reverted to the dull days of July. Now drizzling here. Lights on inside. Seems like autumn already

Thunder getting louder, lightning detectors doing a rubbish job at picking this up!
We have had a few rumbles of thunder but not seen any lightning, so maybe that is why?

Hearing a rumble or two of thunder this afternoon, haven't seen any lightning yet. Looks like another sharp shower heading our way soon!

Sun has still not broken through here. Just fairly still and humid feeling. Oh well, at least it’s not raining.

Grrr just put the washing on the line and it’s now raining! I had checked the radar too and it looked as if the shower was North of here. I was fooled!

Oh no, that sounds awful. Hope you find somewhere else soon.
Weather outside sounds like autumn already, rain and wind. Yuck -

I can now safely say that seeing a active volcano is one for the bucket-list now ticked off, a exhausting few days of long hikes and little sleep but i've been fortunate with the weather and the now Police/SAR restrictions imposed on the trails to/from Litli Hrutur due to 'tourists' doing stupid 'tourist stuff' only the day after I spent 14 hours just soaking it all in with all the other sensible watchers.
Way too many images to share on here but this is just a taster, compared to actually being there however it's a completely different atmosphere, the sound of the magma 'swishing' like a ocean tide, the heat, the smoke, and how eery the glow lights up any low clouds.
Wow you made it there. What an experience. Great photos.
I have been watching it on the live YouTube channels. I have seen some spectators in the background that certainly seemed foolhardy being so close.

Drizzling here too. Nothing showing on the radar though.
Typical British weather. The school summer holidays start and we have a grey, wet and windy weekend!

I agree with some that the thumbs down symbol means you dislike a post rather than disagree. How about a not sure about that/ puzzled face emoji, like this one ?

Really feels quite warm out there now, especially because the wind has dropped off.
I don’t think I want it much hotter than this. I hope the heatwaves that are over Europe and America don’t spread to us! -
Would the reaction also imply that you dislike the post?, as well as /or disagree?
-
Looks like it’s calmed down quite a bit this morning. Hopefully it won’t stop too soon.

It feels like a week i've been glued to the stream finally it's payed off and the predictions have been correct, flights at KEF are grounded for now and i'm trying to find some low-cost fares to get out there and see this one as it's likely a 2-week event given the amount of magma predicted beneath. No luck thus far unless I want to fork out £289 with a 15hr layover, or extend it into 4 days.
Would be great to see it in person. If you get there, you will have to share some photos on here.

Rain has arrived here now. Feeling quite muggy with it.
-
Finally a torrential downpour here now. Typically just in time for the kids coming out of school

Temp 22.5C at the moment. Fairly cloudy, and a breeze making it feel quite cold outside. Even had to change into jeans, instead of shorts!

I've had this wind for what feels like months now
Haha, there is something called Deflatine that might help with that.
Still been windy here today, but at least it is bringing warmer air now. And what are those white puffy things in the sky? It's been a couple of weeks with lovely blue skies.
The garden is already needing watering so would be good to have some rain soon.

Never heard of rip rides at Bournemouth beach before.. how did they sustain injuries that they succumbed to?
Police asking the public not to speculate is ridiculous after all of the confusing information.
I think it’s possible the casualties smashed into the pier supports, after the boat caused ‘rip currents’ by coming in too fast, from what I read. Obviously speculation, very sad whatever happened.

Morning All,
I wish this NE wind would do one its been like it for weeks.
I agree, it still feels cold unless you can be in a very sheltered sunny spot. Apart from that it's lovely to have blue skies and sunshine.
Could do with the odd shower though. Already having to do some watering of the garden plants.
I wonder if it's only in Britain that we are never happy with the weather. It's either too hot, too cold, too rainy, too grey, too windy etc.

Lovely day today. The breeze felt a bit cool again this morning, but soon warmed up during the afternoon. Temp in the back garden is 24C at the moment. Warmest so far this year.
Soon we will be complaining we need rain!

Residents evacuated after lightning strike causes fire at homes
This happened last night, only a mile or two from where we live. As far as I know no one was hurt, but must have been frightening. Those houses are only a couple of years old, maybe even less than that.
Can't believe I slept through the thunder and lightning at the time.My neighbour says it went on for quite a while and was really loud.
