Remarkably heavy thunderstorm over Bridgwater just before lunch today, torrents of water down the high street of Glastonbury. Billowing cumulus clouds everywhere. Not that warm at all - very much like late September. Many walking about in jumpers and light coats. Only about 16 max really, but it got a bit warmer near the end of the day when it settled down. 

[Stargazer]
