I love a good thunderstorm! Can’t remember the last time we had one here in London.When I’m at home,I change into a t-shirt,shorts and flip-flops and stand outside in the rain,listening to that amazing,natural,ground-shaking sound.As regard to the present heat-wave………bring it on! Maybe it helps that I sleep during the day and work at night 😉 Those nice cool breezes between 11pm and 4am are amazing 😎

When I was in Cyprus with the UN force in Nicosia a few of us actually went outside in thunderstorms deliberately just to cool off. It would rain cats and dogs for 10-15 minutes and then it was all oover for another 24 hours. If you stayed outside for half an hour you were dry again.
