Our breaking of the heatwave remains very undefined.

At the start of the week it was to have been tomorrow (Friday) with storms for 4 days and rain on and off for the following week.

That progressed to a storm starting Saturday and lasting 3 days with a bit of rain the following couple of days.

Then it was a storm on Saturday only wit little rain following.

And today we can expect a storm tomorrow and maybe some rain on Saturday. At least that seems to agree with the Norwegian forecast but we will be well short of the rain we need.

38.4c in deep shade this eve but with the wind like a roasting oven.
30c inside.
Do hope the promised storms arrive and cool it down ,problem being it will be very humid.

The rumbles started around 2am ish, and didn't disappoint! Proper storm, lashings of rain, and it should be about 10°C cooler as a result. What a relief!

@Bayleaf Same here! Everything washed, rinsed and dried. I doubt it's much over 22/23° this morning - lovely jubbly.

After two storms over night first at 2.30, second at 6 am it's much cooler.
Only 4.5mm of rain though.
Still 28c indoors after first storm.
Opened all up at 7am to cool the place down at last.

Yep, same two storms around the same times.

It is a blissful 21 degrees outside, with a nice breeze.

Opened all the windows. 26 in the house now. Upstairs yesterday afternoon was 35 ! By 5h00 this morning, it was 25.

Thank goodness !

Back to normal here, it's raining and chilly, I'm wearing a cardigan again.

Day 2 of being shrouded in a haze of Sahara dust! So far, it seems to just look like a cloudy sky - and has helped to block the heat of the sun. But I see other parts of France are getting a fair dusting of it on the ground, as far as Bretagne (link below)
