Really impressive looking storm activity around Inverness, should help with the wildfire situation.

This is actually a different cell that has just exploded to the west, rumbles of thunder every few seconds. Feels like a different country today

Just in from work and the car is reading 27c, at 7pm in the evening in early June with no sun. Seems absolutely nuts. 
 

Dry, hot and sunny all day at work in Dumbarton. Currently a very active little cell to the west of me, centred over Kilbirnie. Rumbling away constantly.

Larch tree on farm track struck by lightning yesterday with split bark from top to bottom.
