The sky over Liverpool was alive with thunder earlier. Never heard anything like it... Constant rumbling for about 5 to 10 minutes. It was quite spectacular.
The most awesome summer down pour I've seen this side of Suez this afternoon 12 miles off the essex coast. Truly monsoon intensity; the phrase stair rods always seems a laughable over statment for rain but this did it justice!
I went out on the bridge wing in shorts and a polo shirt just to enjoy.
all quiet on the east coast front....clear blue skies and warm ..just billions of these darn tiny black beatles...they love safety vests which sucks as i got to wear one all day long...so do my pupils...
