Bliss here too. "Only" 30 yesterday (the highest since we arrived in 2019), but now 19, following a thunderstorm this morning and half an hour's proper rain.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Temperature here has dropped 2 degrees since this morning ( 27C at 8am ) It’s getting darker and a few spots of rain have fallen. Met Office have cancelled our Amber warning for extreme temperatures.
There's a small chance of some rain in our forecast this afternoon. I'll be grateful for anything we can get so all you people further west, don't nick it all
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Still well over 30 here in sunny and humid Gloucestershire. If the forecast is to be believed, temperatures will drop a lot overnight. Please let the forecast be right.

However, our breeze is now from the west so is a lot cooler than yesterday's furnace blasts from the south.
Not very nice at all.
