Anyone got any thunder and lightning today? We're supposed to have it right now and all day but nothing, hot and sunny here.

We have had nothing, no rain, thunder, or lightening.
My OH's friend phoned him this morning from Blairgowrie, less than a 2 hour drive from us, and he said it's been horrendous there.
It's a bit cooler here today.

We're meant to, but we'll see if it happens.

None forecast on my bit of Scotland for next few days - good!
Although I was spooked the other night I don't think the budgies were bothered at all - usually the more noise the better!

My housemate went out in it last night and had a bit of a dance. Hopefully tomorrow will be cool enough for me to shut the windows so that I can open the cage. Edit: nevermind, decided it’s cool enough. Though whether they’ll venture out is anyone’s guess.

And now that we've had a slight cooling I don't expect this next one to happen.

We got a pathetic excuse for a storm this morning. It was really dark and you know how everything goes quiet before a big storm, well we had all that so I was expecting something spectacular. Then about 3 rolls of thunder and a couple of lightning flashes with heavy rain that lasted a few minutes. I love a good storm so I was well disappointed

Not that its particularly relevant but we're going to have a heat wave for a week. This morning it was raining lightly with some lightning north of me. This is all part of a hurricane off the Mexican coast. A fire broke out in the Angeles National Forest yesterday (northeast of LA). It rapidly grew from 500 acres to 10,000 acres. Firefighters are working hard to get it under control. The rain, even light rain, was welcome. About 100 homes have been evacuated. Where I live, we have a haze from the smoke. My avian vet sent out an alert saying if any birds are showing respiratory distress, bring them in and she'll put them in the oxygen chambers.

Awful re the fires. I used to work with someone whose house over there was destroyed that way

Brief but intense thunderstorms raced through NYC for the past several days, but sadly they haven't broken the relentless heatwave.
