Welcome to net-weather 'I can't believe its not better'. The skies are now clear after the rain and its quite cool outside at 17C but still muggy. I though storms were supposed to clear the air.

A very hot and humid day, finished off with some spectacular violent thunderstorms. The morning started off misty, but this quickly burnt off to give a sunny morning. Cloud gradually built in the afternoon and by around 5pm it had become overcast and even more humid. The evening saw three thunderstorms come over, with lightning strikes every few seconds and some very heavy rain. Before the second of these storms the pressure fell 2mb in 5 minutes and the humidity quickly increased from 78% to 87%. Last night was the warmest since 15th July and the day the second warmest this month, meaning overall the day was well above average.
