The official summer sun, optimism and thunder thread 2021

[Puggit]

Netatmo showing 21.4 in the shade. Just did my daily Zoom call with head office on the rattan furniture in the sun.

1) They didn't believe I was still in the UK
2) It was too hot

What happens in this thread then?

• Colin moans about the heat (He's got a medical condition so we let him off)
• We all get excited for sun, summery weather
• We all get excited for big exciting thunderstorms
• We get little of the previous two
• Rinse and repeat.

ETA:

• DogStar moans about all it does in Lancashire is rain (Rightly so, it's there to keep the rain off of Yorkshire)

Around the end of August we all start enquiring about the start of the next winter thread.
