The Heavens Are Open

It's been pretty hot these last few days, and humid with it.

Yesterday after riding Eloise to school for five minutes (that's how long it takes) my T-shirt was drenched.

I walked the dogs in the forest and at the end of that another T-shirt was drenched.

The heat was draining and with Nicole (poor, sick Nicole whose RSV test came back negative) I had a half-hour kip before going to pic up Eloise and take her to her swimming lesson.

Scratch another T-shirt.

So it was no surprise when the heat yesterday turned to thunder, albeit dry thunder and a few showers overnight.

Today the few showers turned to a deluge - in some parts of the city it has been said that 81mm fell in an hour, resulting in flash flooding and "cars floating down streets." Drama!

And the rain has continued since then with a small break organised by the Heavenly Conductor for school-picking-up.

So it's not so hot now, but by Jingo! it's wet!
